Bert's Bar and Brasserie

This was a slightly harder 5/5 from me. We loved the food and the atmosphere, and the young guy that was serving us (grandparents were jewellers) was great! Good conversation and friendly service. The only thing I’d say is that it’s probably a little overpriced. You definitely pay for the view and location. For that same amount of money, you could probably get better in other parts of Sydney. That said, still a 5/5 because it really was good. I’d still recommend.

It is located in New port, this is fancy restaurant for celebrating special occasions. Staff are knowledgeable and friendly,oysters are so delicious and fresh pasta is amazing. Some special wine selection you will find on wine list.

My husband & I drove 1.5 hrs for lunch today and I must say, it’s worth the drive here. The place was aesthetically pleasing. So pretty and chic. The staff were welcoming with smile & very polite. They gave us table by the window overlooking the water which we really appreciated. Food was good. We shared the Bucatini Vongole Pasta as entree. My husband really liked it. We had their special Steak Frites as mains and Snake Beans as side. Steaks were tender, fries were crispy and snake beans were crunchy. We also ordered Criollo Dark Chocolate Tart as dessert. It was divine. Glad we decided to came here.

Came here with my partner on Saturday to celebrate our anniversary. Staff were all very nice and considerate, and the food was delicious! We also received a very adorable and lovely card from the staff! Would definitely come back.

Casual, yet elegant. Food is exceptionally fresh with a small well considered menu that also offer daily specials. One for seafood and steak lovers- with 2-3 excellent vegetarian options, and some terrific pasta. Best of all- everything can be shared. Staff are fun, engaging and look after you well.

We celebrated our engagement at Bert’s and it was absolutely perfect. A huge thanks to our incredible host, Lani, who made the night feel so special — from recommending standout dishes (the tuna tartare is a must!) to finishing with a handwritten card from the team. The service, the atmosphere, the attention to detail — everything was spot on. Thank you, Lani and the Bert’s team, for an unforgettable night. We’ll be back!

Excellent customer service, and amazing atmosphere. Staffs were super attentive, polite and professional. The atmosphere was 10/10 with nice view and decoration. But food was not as good as what I expected. It was not bad, but it still needs improvement to be worth the price and the reputation.

Red snapper tartare and the lobster pasta probably my favourite dishes as they had the most balanced flavours. Bistecca steak was cooked nicely medium but some pieces of meat were a bit chewy. The brioche fingers were a bit dry and salty. The steak tartare definitely needs crackers served with it as there are so many capers, so salty... Was nice but not really worth the money imo

My husband, brother and I came here for a Saturday lunch on the last day of my husband's trip to Sydney. I'd long since heard of Bert's and have been a fan of Merivale, so I was excited to finally try this restaurant. Bert's has parking on the street nearby but there's no train station and not much public transport around here, so driving is advisable. The restaurant has a really beautiful ambiance that would make for a nice girls' lunch or upscale meal. Unfortunately the food didn't live up to expectations though. For appetizers, we shared the oysters, smoked fish pate, sourdough and heirloom tomatoes. Nothing was terrible, but the food was bland and lacked any discernible flavor. For mains, I got the rock cod, while my husband had the ricotta agnolotti, and my brother had the bucatini. Their pastas were fine but nothing special. My rock cod was especially boring. It tasted like a plain white fish without condiments, even though it had them. I would not come back to eat here based on this experience, especially given the prices here.

Can't give less than 1! Service was ordinary, food is ridiculously overpriced and mainly imported looking at the boxes next to the bins in the car park. Another Merivale joke that is overpriced and staff more than likely underpaid. Don't waste your hard earned
