Tilda

Came here a few times during their 50% off but found the food overall to be quite average with no real standouts. I don’t think the bread and butter service is worth $39. The crab toast and potato scallops were good though.

Food was amazing, service friendly and attentive, seating comfy and very lovely and relaxed ambience. The bread service was just a roundish loaf of bread from AP Bakery with a little show, showing the staff member with a big tray of condiments like butter etc and assembling them onto a plate. It tasted good but I was expecting a little more.

Went here for the 46% promo. Found that the food was good value for the price however we most likely wouldn’t come back here if it was full price. The food itself missed the mark at times tasting unbalanced. The scallops had too much sauce masking the natural flavour and freshness. The proteins were cooked well however we found that the sauces paired weren’t great i.e the citrus brown butter that was recommended was way too rich for fish and tasted like a toasted cookie. The potato scallops were oily and we weren’t able to finish them. The apple crunch was a nice dessert but we did find the ginger mousse slightly overpowering. We also ordered the strawberry vodka gimlet which tasted unpleasantly medicinal. Although the dishes do have potential, there is still a bit to go in terms of balancing flavours. However, the service was very attentive and the overall vibe of the restaurant was nice for a date night.

Visiting Tilda yesterday. It was a reservation with 46% off promotion for specific time dining. The overall experience was okay. The hightlights: Service - Most of (not all) floor staffs were warm and welcoming. MB7+ Wagyu ribeye on the bone - good quality meat for $25 per 100g. The downlights: Mostly most of the food we ordered. In general nothing are really special. With the high price tag, I expected the food to be implacable and memorable and wanting me to go back because crave of the flavour or something you can't find anywhere else. What we ordered: - Bread & Butter Service AP saltbush focaccia, Pepe Saya butter, macadamia, jersey milk cheese, wildflower honey, wattleseed ($39). Yes it is $39. This bread should be 'signature' of Tilda. Hmmm... not much too comment. - Wagyu beef tartare, black garlic, creme fraiche, potato scallops ($32). We had somewhere better so once again not sure whether this is something I would order next visit (if they offered 95% promotion). - Crab toast, seaweed butter, avocado, caviar ($18pp) I was looking forward to this dish when I saw on the menu. Unfortunately I think I had too much expectation while, in my opinion, it didn't deliver to my expectation. The toast was quite hard and so chewy at the same time. - Mafaldine, lobster, shellfish butter, basil ($120/$220). We ordered half lobster ($120). I might mistakenly interpreted wrongly. I thought half as half lobster but it seems half as the pasta size as well. So the pasta serve pretty small. The flavour was pretty good but the lobster, it felt slightly overcooked. It was more to chewy/rubbery texture. - Side dishes: BBQ leeks, anchovy, caper vinaigrette, roasted macadamia ($17). It was meh. Potato gratin, mozzarella, breadcrumbs ($18). It was meeeehhhhhhhhh. Yeah it was not great. - MB7+ Wagyu ribeye on the bone - good quality meat for $25 per 100 gram ($200). This is the most decent dish. The meat quality was really great! The cook of meat perfectly medium rare. So this is the superstar. And they nclude 7% gratuity. They advise when they handed the bill. And we were happily not to remove it. So, with the price tag (without 46% off promotion), personally, I dont think it is worth of experience. And I am very sure I will not return with the same promotion (46%). But thank you for the service last night team Tilda!

Dinner out with my best friend on a Friday, and it was totally worth it. We had the snapper crudo, the crab toast, charred octopus which was so tender and the wagyu tartare. All the dishes were full of flavour. For mains we had a steak medium rare and a fish dish and the meat was so flaky and tender. A shout out to the potato scallops and bbq leeks, so good. The dessert trifle they brought out looked amazing, and tasted so fruity and creamy, and the bee sting cake was sweet melt in your mouth goodness. The wait staff were all friendly, the interior was very inviting and comfortable, we hope to be back.

Warmly greeted on arrival, shown to our table, offered sparkling water and menus. Very friendly team member. Love the new venue located on the ground floor where the reception area used to be located before Sofitel refurbished. Great coffee. The food was delicious, well presented, and large portion sizes. Was also surprised with a little birthday treat with candle. Had a great time here.

Tilda’s food was next level. The lobster mafaldine and the ribeye were amazing. All dishes made a great impact and service was perfect. Nothing bad to say about this restaurant. Would definitely come back next time we’re in Sydney.

Overall we enjoyed our experience, with some really standout dishes, just a couple of tweaks and it would be a 5/5! The raw scallops on the seafood platter were delicious, but the tamarind sauce and mayonnaise completely overpowered such a delicate meat, it also looked like the sauces were put on quite haphazardly. Also the morton bay bug could have been refined by properly cleaning out the shell (removing the legs) before putting the cooked meat back inside. The prawn and nduja pasta was absolutely delicious and wouldn’t change anything. Also the king George whiting was cooked to perfection and the salad and leeks we had as a side were so good. I am usually a big dessert person, but nothing on the menu took my fancy. I think it’s always a good idea to have something chocolatey on the menu. However we had a negroni which was wonderful.
