Cirrus Dining

Love Cirrus, but for some unknown reason I hadn’t been in a while. So glad I came back - the seafood and wine list are incredible. As are the staff. What a great way to spend a cold, rainy, Sunday afternoon in Sydney.

Heard that it’s closing down soon, so we decided to give it a try. Booked Crablis for late lunch on Sunday, the overall food quality and quantity were barely making it to fine dining level. Except the Mud Crab dish, we can barely see crab meats in all other dishes. They charged $240/person and they even asked you to share A desert. What a shame! The restaurant definitely will not be missed.

Bentley group never misses - really sad to see this one go, we visited before they closed up this Sunday and was blown away with the quality of our meal. Our favourite starters were the charcoal grilled bread with whipped butter, tempura scallops, the yuzu vinaigrette (delightfully spicy) with syd rock oysters. Our favourite main was the half chicken with kombu sauce. Deluxe crispy chicken with gravy so good I licked the plate. No shame! Finished it all up with the roasted pineapple topped honey layered cake. We savoured each bite knowing it will be the last time we get to have these dishes (hope we’ll see these dishes again at other Bentley group restaurants)

Cirrus Dining is a gem worth visiting! The ambience is elegant and inviting, perfect for a cozy dinner or special occasion. The staff is incredibly friendly and attentive, ensuring a delightful dining experience. The food is the highlight – beautifully presented and portions are just right, leaving you satisfied without feeling overwhelmed. Each dish is a culinary delight, showcasing fresh ingredients and creative flair. Highly recommend trying their oysters and the delightful bread – simply delicious! Overall, Cirrus Dining offers a fantastic experience from start to finish. Don't miss out on this wonderful dining spot!

We had a big meal for 2, and the food was amazing. The lobster was cooked to perfection, not overcooked nor undercooked. The sommelier was incredibly helpful with amazing wine pairing knowledge from the individual dishes we ordered. Apart from the odd side salad (big chunk of lettuce 😅), all their food was top notch- as expected from the Bentley group. Highly recommend, and would go again.

Overrated food with egotistic and rushed service. Staff were clearly very proud of the food here and we were obnoxiously reminded of this throughout the whole service. Ironically, the food was very average, salty and oily. Service was not very family friendly as the waiters seemed to be more interested in flirting with the table of rowdy loud women. We had a two hour sitting but felt like we were pushed to leave asap. We decided to have dessert at NOLA smokehouse and bar where the service was day and night.

I recently visited Cirrus Dining for Easter lunch, and while the experience had its highlights, there were some aspects that left me a bit underwhelmed. Firstly, the Charcoal Grilled Bread with Whipped Cod Roe was an absolute delight, bursting with flavor and texture. The oysters were also a standout, fresh and delicious. However, the scallops seemed a bit strange. The combination of pistachio with grapefruit lacked the expected freshness and flavour. Our waitress, Farah, provided excellent recommendations and was attentive throughout the meal, enhancing the overall experience. She checked in on us a number of times and really provided a fantastic service. Unfortunately, the temperature of the Prosecco and wine served was too warm, requiring me to add ice to enjoy them properly. I was surprised to find that the menu prices were higher than those advertised online, despite the website indicating that the a la carte menu would be available for Easter. I would have thought that the menu would have run as normal and that this would be covered by the 15% public holiday surcharge, was disappointing. Overall, while Cirrus Dining offered some memorable dishes and attentive service, the inconsistencies in menu pricing and beverage temperature detracted from an otherwise enjoyable Easter lunch experience.

I came here for my anniversary due to good reviews. However the seafood platter is too salty to finish. The appetizer is nice, and the service is good too. The staff offer us drinks and redo the dishes. But the taste is not enough to satisfy my expectations.
