SMH Good Food Guide 2007 - One Chefs Hat |

Overview
The Restaurant is at the Northern end of the Pavilion with views across the shark net towards the Heads (the cafe is at the Southern end). The restaurant is comfortable, yet with the feeling of understated elegance. The emphasis is on fresh produce grown by small producers.

Really impressed with the food here, very pretty and most flavours balanced to perfection. Lovely setting. Cool, friendly, attentive service. Will be back.

I went there today for lunch. It was great! for the beautiful sunny warm saturday lunch. I had rabbi, prawn and foie gras terrine for starter and beef tenderloin for main. Both beautifully presented in big white plates which make food look smaller than the actual size but I became very full after dessert.
Its first time I could taste foie gras well. Some foie gras other restaurant just melt in mouth too soon, could not taste it! and beef was tender and some kind of fat?! top of it make itself even juicier and gives more flavour. My friend had vegetarian dish, both looked so good and taste great too and last thing Petits Four came with tea were superb!
Little small white cream on biscuit and pineapple macaron, some kind of fruity jam in chocolate. They all elegantly sweet. Love this place.

I cannot believe anyone would leave good comments after coming here. Food is awful, has nothing to do with Mediterranean cuisine. 4 of us left hungry even 3 pieces of bread for each before starters! (served without us asking) did not help. No view can compensate the terrible food and I still cannot believe we paid !
For the $550 for 4 people we could have had a superb dining in most places. And the service - well the only reason I gave 2 is the waiter was embarrassed to serve the food, other ways would be 1 as well. Never ever again.

The location is obviously the big drawcard here, and frankly you could sell sandwiches and ice cream and still be busy because of the location. Traditionally waterfront restaurants always fare well in Sydney particularly over summer and for those "special occasion" visits.
Here the view is great, and the food is also very good, but not outstanding.
Unfortunately, the service lets the restaurant down a bit, with it being ad hoc and at times indifferent as though the staff are doing you a favour by just being there.
The restaurant is better than the cafe which gets overcrowded. There is a comprehensive and decent wine list. However, value for money it is not. If you want a great location and good food and are indifferent to how much it costs -v- what you are getting, then this is the place for you.

Two course menu at $95 pp is a complete rort. My jewfish was seemingly uncooked in the middle and was very disappointing, the dish flavourless to say the least. Rabbit Terrine was very tasty but overpriced at whatever dollar portion of the 95 bucks it made up.
I've eaten at the adjoining cafe previously and it is enjoyable but I won't be dining at the restaurant again. Yes yes we all know the Bathers' Pavillion has a superb view but it's the same one as sitting on the beach with fish and chips and I dare say the later has more atmosphere. Extremely underwhelming.

Update: I wrote the original review in Dec 2007, went back just the two of us in July. Superb quality and just enjoyed the cuisine so much. World class dining - Australia doing it well.
Previous Review: Fabulous dining with great location. The only mistake we made was going with teenage children who did not really appreciate the cuisine. It was a mistake by us given it is expensive - we just should not have taken teenagers there.
But from our point of view, it was truly fabulous. Well presented food and sublime taste experience. Excellent wine list but also priced at the top end especially for French wine. Great food but expect top dollar when you book.

Amazing menu and service. We had the degustation menu for lunch, but opted out of dessert. Food was fresh, beautifully presented and very enjoyable. Worth the money.
Update: I went for lunch again on Friday but this time I have enough details to write a more comprehensive review. Everything was as perfect as I remember from last year. My entree was the yellow fin tuna sashimi - once again immaculate presentation and blending of flavours.
My main was the ocean trout with prawns and pancetta. Surprising but delicious fusion of flavours. Again, no room for dessert. I had a coffee and petit fours. The petit fours were exquisite.

This is a lovely reataurant that let's itself down by the service experience and the pricing. We lunched there again today for my grandaughter's birthday. All the food dishes were superb and the wines very good.
Service was stretched when it came to desserts. There were long delays and requests for birthday greetings for the guest of honour were not followed despite three requests, on reservation, on arrival and on order. Delays in serving desserts and cheese and biscuits were inexplicable and detracted from the experience.
Needless to say when the bill was requested, it arrived with undue dispatch. The fixed price menu is unnecessarily restrictive and expensive for diners who don't want two or more courses. All in all, Bathers still presents an attractive package but more attention is needed to ensure a perfect experience.

Superb location with excellent views. The food never disappoints. The pizza is out of this world, great coffee and a quality establishment! One of my favourite places to visit, especially in winter.

Food average, service strange. Not flexible about seating when we didn't like being shoved in close between couples. Another restaurant resting on the fact that they are in a great location and have a decent reputation.
