My wife and I celebrated our last night in Sydney (after two years, on to Japan) at Galileo. We were very impressed with the food and service. We only wish we had discovered this place last year. Then we could have come a few times. I would recommend this restaurant to family and friends without hestitation. Well done, Galileo!

Ambience of the restaurant (inside Observatory hotel) was magnificent. Lovely decor of the hotel and restaurant, however, as soon as we sat down at the table, I started to get hayfever symptoms. So that did not help me to enjoy the dining experience much.
We were willing to try degustation menu, 7 course meal, for $75 pp (I don't think they are available on the weekend), but because the menu did not include the blue crab meat pasta, that was recommended by few friends, we decided to go for the 2 course menu (which costs more than degustation menu).
I had blue crab pasta for entree and wagyu beef for main. They were fantastic, however, although I ordered meat to be medium rare, it was more medium, well done, however, the meat was tender enough, so I did not complain. Wine selections (a glass each for dish) by matron/sommelier were spot on. Although their service was not bad, I thought they were bit cold.
Overall, I was happy with the experience, but I am not in hurry to go back there again.

Love love love the classic baroque like furnitures... lovely. I could walk around the hotel with my boyfriend and we did some role play like I was Marie-Antoinette　and he was like the earl of somewhere.
The restaurant's service was flawless, knowledge and details, and friendly. We had the degustation, a bit too much deep fried dish but every single dishes were uniquely presented and taste good too. I just enjoy the night like escaping to old time make myself like princess.

Great food, beautiful hotel and fantastic service. The degustation menu was absolutely wonderful and the service is impeccable. The hotel anniversary special makes the meal even more the better. We have book for another evening to take advantage of the special before it ends.

Tried the degustation menu, nine course with matchin wines. Went there to celebrate my mothers 60th birthday. Food was perfect. Service excellent, and the sommeliers win selections were spot on. A very expensive dinner, but the absolute best I've ever had.

I've been to this restaurant on a few special occasions but sadly something has declined. I decided to have a dinner there with a group which was less then 10 people. Then they advised us of a 10% service charge for the large table (they would have been tipped more had they not imposed this). Then, after an email address didn't work, they didn't call but just cancelled the booking. We only discovered this when we called to confirm the booking, a week later.
The service in the restaurant itself was excellent but everything leading up to it was utterly professional for a restaurant of this calibre. The food was half as good as it used to be but maybe they just struggle with large tables. My advice, don't take more than 2-3 people.

Dined here on a promotion's night in early 07 and held high expectations, seeing as it was a hatted restaurant. Having had a handful of wonderful degustation experiences at other hatted establishments, Galileo was a disappointment. Although the decor was charming, the service felt a little cold and distracted (being a promotion night should not be an excuse).
We ordered the degustation, and each plate was introduced by the nervous waiter who struggled to remember the components of the dish. Although fairly well presented, the food was a little bland and there was sand in the scallop dish which was communicated to the waiter, who apologized but did not replace it. We walked out of there feeling as though we must have missed something - overall it was a very ordinary experience.

My mother and I came here for dinner on a Saturday night in March 2008. We had the seasonal degustation which was interesting and delicious. The jewfish was particularly good. The decor is old school but warm and the service was just right especially the sommelier who matched the wines perfectly. Pricey but for a special occasion definitely recommended. Well done to the team at Galileo.
