    Service was friendly, but not much choice of food. Food is ok but nothing special for the price but the location is good people watching spot.

    Great atmosphere and staff. Its not cheap but being in the rocks you do not expect this. Got a nice little table outside. Food was gorgeous and not too much of it. Definitely heading back, with a bottle of wine expect $200 for 2 people with entrée and mains. Dessert menu is sparse but not needed.

    Went here with a group of friends, and the place was lovely. Every staff member was friendly and helpful. Food was very tasty and I ordered a wine recommended by my waitress, that was perfect!

    We all had a great dining experience here, it was nice and neat, lovely people around, food and service fantastic, a little pricey, but I don't mind when you have all the ticks in the box for a great restaurant that deserve it! I would definitely recommend it to other people.

    Food is lovely but seriously over priced for what you get. But it is in The Rocks after all so you know what to expect. The wine choices are excellent and it is a nice way to spend an evening sitting outside. It does get quite noisy on a Friday night due to all the tourist traffic.

    Food is mouthwatering and the chef catered easily to my dietary needs. Not insane, american-style portions but plenty enough. Service staff are fun and knowledgeable. Most importantly, the wine list is superb and each glass worth every penny. Will keep going back!

    The wine bar is great! The food is tiny. If you are a mouse then the portions may still be too little for you. Let's put it this way, I ordered gnocchi with prawns. I got 3 pieces of gnocchi! Normal sized gnocchi! This was a main dish for $35. We also ordered an entree and cheese plate and I was STILL hungry after dinner. I am a petite girl. I get drunk off of 2 glasses of wine. I don't know how a man would ever eat at this place without spending over $500 on his meal! But if you go just for the (overpriced) wine bar, you will like the wine selection.

    We only went here for a nice catch-up companied with wine tasting and have a few finger foods. But our Sommelier or at least a very very good waitress was knowledgeable, professional, fun and very helpful. We had a very enjoyable night. The wines were great and very affordable and what little food we ordered we were delighted by. Love this chic hangout. Great for a quick catch up, but stay for the D&M’s.

    Haven't been for a while but on a fine December sunday, lunch, ideal to meet a friend, share a mezze palate and some entrees with a couple of contrasting rieslings. Beautiful pork and fish and sumptuous chocolate for pud! Excellent service from thoughtful staff from every corner of the world, all just as we have come to expect from Odyssey, and again it didn't disappoint us.

    An excellent place to sample some of the finest wines Australia has to offer. The wines are complimented with fine cuisine that makes the whole experience one of the delights in the Rocks.
