The Corner House At The House

The food here is woeful and overpriced. The Sydney Opera House Trust recently brought in this operator after terminating its contract with the Cafe Studio—always an excellent place to eat before a concert. We have just tried the new incumbent, but never again. My wife and I each ordered a meagre dish of meatballs (with two uneatable, rock-solid lumps of bread) and a beetroot salad. The meal included two glasses of wine and a coffee. This cost $94.

We had a pre dinner meal here and it was most disappointing. Despite the convenience right in front of theatre we will not use it again. Food and drinks overpriced, $8.50 for a beer. One dish was acceptable an eggplant, beans casserole but other mostly inedible. It was a lamb dish that was mostly very undercooked , rubbery pasta. Friends on the same night took the gourmet sandwich pack from another section of the bar, enjoyed same view for a fraction of the price.
