The Fenwick reviews
46Celebrated our 21st Wedding Anniversary here on Australia Day for lunch and enjoyed immensely. Food, service and atmosphere were fantastic. Big shoutout to Sam who looked after us on our special day.
A wonderful dining experience with lovely service and an amazing view! Everything we ordered was so so good!
The food was delicious and the setting was great. The service let the experience down a little as it was a little chaotic.
Tuna crudo - wonderful mix and texture
Barramundi - worked perfectly with the veg and the potatoes
Vanilla panna cotta - lovely fresh dish to finish the meal.
Amazing food and staff are delightful and friendly. Camilo served us and was amazing! Will return again soon!
Found this hidden gem when I was exploring Balmain. Good coffee n food with the best view towards the harbour bridge and the city skyline. One of the best!
Came here for lunch with my date. Nice restaurant overlooking the harbour bridge. Highly recommend the croquettes, salmon and tenderloins.
Was blessed to have Sam as our waiter as he is bubbly, full of smiles. Always close-by and found out it was our anniversary and added a nice touch to our dessert.
Thanks Fenwick team
OMG! What a night! What a service! We had the best time, the food was just awesome! The service was amazing thanks Roberta! Can’t wait to be back! Thanks for everything
Celebrated an amazing milestone for my parents 60 years in Australia! Superb location with gorgeous harbour & Bridge views. As we were a large group we were obliged to go with a set menu which was beautiful! We chose the premium menu & were not disappointed. There was plenty to go around & so many dishes. My favorites were the oysters, the pesto busiate & the barramundi. Service was friendly & attentive. Thank you Fernando for a memorable night
Wonderful staff, nice food and the atmosphere is great. Very accommodating for kids from the menu to the personable nature of the staff. Try the Barramundi with the broad beans if you like seafood.
Mum had a wonderful birthday lunch and would recommend going here for a nice meal accompanied by unbeatable views of Sydney. Thank you for a wonderful experience guys!
Pasta was undercooked but flavoursome, which is pretty ordinary for a restaurant like this.beef tartare was unusually matched with half cooked egg.when mixed, makes it clumpy.why not a full raw egg?
swordfish was dry and not compatible with the flavours.the beef was probably best.expected a lot better for the location and views.
Went for breakfast. Very average food for the price and won’t go back. Beautiful view and building though. Staff were friendly.
Well what a complete surprise. What a gem of a place. The food was great and the wine list was superb. The staff are knowledgeable about their food and match wines suitably.if asked. The desserts were perfect. I will definitely be returning.
I was very excited to be going to the Fenwick for a catch-up with friends. Sadly, the only thing special about the Fenwick is the location. The lamb was dry and tough. We suspect the barramundi was microwaved: hot on the inside, cold on the outside. The spaghetti was good. Some members of the waiting staff were excellent, however the waitress for out table was not. What we had hoped would be a special day was tarnished by the sub-standard food and service. The Fenwick really needs to up its game.
Great view, and vibe. Wasn’t as big a fan of the dishes that we had ordered. Would potentially go again for lunch
Great ambiance with a beautiful aesthetic vibe. The pasta here is spot on, so delicious but a bit small for the price. However, I would definitely get it again. The garlic bread and butter was lovely, super fresh and soft, packed with beautiful garlic and herbs. Perfect started. It was our birthday (twin & I) and we told our waiter prior ordering deserts if we could get a candle to celebrate but we didn’t receive a candle so we had to ask again. Our waiter was kind but just to note for future reference, please please, speak slowly and louder just so your guests can hear properly. Other than that, good service.
Thank you to the lovely attentive staff for your attentiveness and your excellent food and service. We had a wonderful evening and will certainly return next time we are in town.
I had lunch on Saturday 3/12/22.
Service was prompt, but the food was very very disappointing, especially the main course/s.
For example, my friend had Lamb neck that was very tough and stringy, even impossible to cut with a steak knife. The manager apologised, my friend refused a replacement meal and the manager offered not to charge for her meal.
I ordered the Sword fish, the braised fennel was replaced with 3 large chunks of white onion, the portion size of the swordfish was no greater that 80-100g, the onion was at least 100g.
The green bean side dish was described as having pickled spanish onion - none to be found.
To add insult to the overall experience, it was ASSUMED we were paying by card, as such a charge was automatically added to our bill. When in fact we were paying cash, a practice I found totally unacceptable.
The outside of the toilet area was untidy and dirty.
I would not return or indeed would I think of recommending this place.
Shame as it's a beautiful location.
Lovely spot with beautiful views. However, food was disappointing especially for the price you pay. The steak was tough and chewy. Pasta was quite bland and the kids chicken seemed hard as if it was reheated far too many times. I was really looking forward to a nice lunch and left a tad disappointed. Service was good though.
Beautiful restaurant in Sydney, was there last week for an event and the menu was incredible
Had my 2 year anniversary here, the staff are lovely and the food was amazing, we had the best table in the restaurant.
It was a bit cold outside but the waitress was offering us blankets to keep us warm. Highly recommend
