Great restaurant. I visited Galileo 5 times in one year. Last year my girlfriend celebrated her birthday at Galileo. I asked the waiter for a special request, a piece of cake with a candle. Instead, the waiter came out with a plate of Macaroons and Cakes with "Happy Birthday" written in chocolate! Fantastic service! They didn't even charge us for it (maybe I think cause the waiter recognised us?).

Definitely one of the top restaurants in Sydney.

It is a very charming restaurant and charming presentation. We had the 8 course tasting menu we mainly found the food rather bland (especial the beef dish it was suppose wagyu, suppose to have this nice beefy aroma and suppose to be the hero of the dish. however found it lack of flavour but it was very tender... so as the barramundi to me it taste like old age home food). So basically the main savory dishes were very disappointing but the entrees and the dessert was decent.

This restaurant is special for us. The ambience and charm of the restaurant takes you back to an era where luxury and service go hand in hand. It really does feel like you've been transported to a different century!

Food is absolutely exquisite and worth the price you pay given you are wanting a sumptuous meal. Service is great, always attentive and polite.

A beautiful restaurant. The atmosphere is very relaxing and comfortable.
I had the wagyu fillet which was tender and cooked just right. Will be returning for sure in the future.

I had a lovely time at Galileo. The food was amazing and the service was friendly but not overly. It was just perfect. I loved the chocolate souffle. It's a must have! The lovely piano music playing was another touch that added to the overall wonderful experience. I can't wait to go back!

The 8 course degustation certainly more than fulfilled my appetite,I was impressed with the presentation and the taste. "Wow", the crab and the barramundi certainly got me. Let me tell you, I'll be coming back for more. The service was quick and efficient, I would highly recommend the restaurant.

The surrounds were extremely relaxing and our service from the staff was friendly, warm and we never went un noticed if needed! All of our courses were spot on, the wagyu beef for main course was by far the best I have ever had and the desert was perfect. Portioning was also not too small which was refreshing because we left a beautiful restaurant satisfied. I will definitely be going there again!

It was a surprise for my boy friend for his birthday. I passed many times This restaurant and finally decided to dine in. We had 8 course degustation with matching wine. Amazing food and service. Every item was clearly described and perfectly served. The quality of food was highest and great presentation. Wine were of great match and we were really happy with sommeliers way of service. My boy friend can pay any cost for good quality steak and he exactly got what he was looking for. This is a one top quality restaurant in Sydney where quality meets perfection.
