BLACK Bar & Grill - Pyrmont

Great food, Great service, Great restaurant layout and most importantly the staff were so amazing. Definitely recommend for special occasions

WOW WOW WOW WOW WOW JUST WOW. This is my fave dining experience in Sydney to date and one of the most divine meals of my life. Black has a dark moody ambience which makes you feel like you're in a swanky casino movie, and sparkling city views looking over Darling Harbour. The service is exceptional, and it's the perfect venue for a celebratory occasion or if you just want to treat yourself. We went to enjoy the new truffle menu being featured across most of The Star's restaurants. Here's what was on offer in order of appearance: - beef jerky. A tasty snack to start. - brioche loaf served with butter and Hawaiian black lava salt. So soft and buttery. - Entree: pan fried scallops served with chestnut cream, bacon, apple and truffle salad. I'm not usually a huge fan of scallops but they were cooked to perfection and the chestnut cream sauce is the most divine and rich thing I have ever tasted. - Main: filet of grass fed Angus steak, Yorkshire pudding, foie gras, smoked potato and shaved truffle. The most perfectly cooked steak, and those truffle shavings mmmmm. Also had a side of béarnaise sauce, and Mac n cheese coz why not haha. The Mac n cheese had a delicious crispy breadcrumb topping and inside was so cheesy! - Dessert: 1. The famous melting chocolate ball, a theatrical experience! Out comes a perfect chocolate sphere, and then over it is poured the most decadent chocolate ganache that melts away the sphere to reveal banana ice cream and delicious peanuts. One of the best desserts I've ever tasted. 2. Creme brûlée with Jerusalem artichoke and truffle ice cream. This one was interesting! The brûlée was pure smoothness and I liked the artichoke flavour. The ice cream was also quite nice and the crispy pieces of fried artichoke was a nice touch! And that my friends was a whole lot of food! An exquisite dining experience and I could not recommend more!

Have come here for dinner and for lunch, so below review based on the two experiences. Lovely location near the water in Pyrmont, so if you get a wall/window-side table during the day you'll have a nice view. Decor is nice, very unique to the restaurant, you won't see the same decor in other places. The round booths are nice to create a more 'private' feel. Menu is towards the more reasonably priced end of the spectrum for a fine dining restaurant. However the food is also fairly average compared to other restaurants, no spectacular or standout dishes. Service is okay. Not bad, not amazing, just fine. They take your order, bring you your food then bring you your bill. Overall, this restaurant is okay. Not horrible, not great, just okay

Impeccable and prompt service! Every staff we came across was lovely that night. Definitely a 5 star! Nice view overlooking pyrmont bay! About the food: The brioche bun smells so good. The chestnut cream went really well with scallops. Beef fillet cooked just right! Make sure to save some room for the Chocolate dessert! It won't disappoint you!
