OpenTable Diner -
Food was delicious as always - fantastic pastas and the tripe is so so so good. Oh and don't get me started on the macadamia milk panna cotta! Service was unfortunately a bit of a let down in our last visit. The entrees came pretty quickly but we had to wait quite a long time between entrees and the pastas, and then the meat dishes (around 15 to 20 mins), so we didn't finish all our mains until almost 8pm. Since our booking was from 6pm-8pm, we were being rushed through dessert and had the bill placed on the table when desserts were served. The waitress was pretty rude about it, despite it being the kitchen's fault for not serving the dishes fast enough! Oh and we spent a good 10 minutes trying to flag her down to process the credit card transaction. Despite the poor service, everything else was great and I'll definitely be returning :) More

Had a really great night at continental deli. Unfortunately there was a large group of guys the night we went, which meant that it was super noisy! The wait staff did a great job to help ensure the other diners had a good experience, however as they had a large group to manage it was definitely made harder. Would definitely dine again- hopefully no big groups next time! More

Probably made a bad choice of the food. Did not enjoy it as much as i have on previous visits. The pasta was served on a cold plate and though it tasted OK, it was barely warm. More

OpenTable Diner -
We dined at all top Sydney steakhouses during our two week visit. Prime is tied for 1st place. We've dined at Prime before and the experience is essentially the same. On each visit the server became overwhelmed (on a slow night with about 50-60% tables occupied). The bar and management staff ultimately came to the rescue. We were in no hurry, and service is not an Aussie specialty anywhere except one other Sydney steakhouse, so not a problem. At least the service level was not unexpected. Food was very good. Be sure to avoid the toilets just outside the restaurant (in favor of the ones inside) as they were very far below acceptable. Otherwise, the building is beautiful even with the exterior under renovation. More
OpenTable Diner -
Perfection! My second time having high tea at The Langham did not disappoint. I cannot wait to go again and will recommend others do too. Only problem was difficulty understanding the server who brought our high tea, we didn’t know what we were eating but it didn’t matter, it was pretty to look at and gorgeous to taste. More

A return visit for Our 48th wedding anniversary did not disappoint, the service was friendly and unobtrusive. We shared a dozen Sydney rock oysters, they were crisp with a beautiful clean taste, the minerality matched the Alsace Riesling perfectly. The moules were a perfect sized serve and the pork chop with almonds was moist and tender. The mixed leaf salad had a more radicchio than greens, and that was the only down side as we aren’t radicchio fans. The desserts of passion fruit soufflé and mixed sorbets were a perfect ending to a beautiful lunch. We appreciated the celebratory message on the soufflé plate, thank you. More
OpenTable Diner -
Been here multiple times, the food is a little expensive but it’s fantastic, I’ve never tasted pizzas so intense with flavour & the pizza base with the perfect texture, the pasta is amazing also, their mushroom pasta is divine, I bring my friends here too, they are happy to customise the dish slightly, my only critique would be the wine list isn’t extensive, but it’s more for a casual lunch then a fine meal, but the quality is o par to those fine dining venues.

Had an early 5.30pm booking after attending Saturday Night Fever:) From the moment we walked we were made very welcome by all staff & more so by our American waiter Patrick who was simply the best in looking after us & fully explaining each course as it arrived. The whole ambience of the restaurant & bar was lovely. We had the Chefs Tasting for two which was a whopping seven courses & dessert plus salad & mash - each dish was well presented & very tasty. Also finished off with two glasses of Giant Steps Pinot Noir thanks to Mr Sommelier Fabio then Espresso Martinis -WOW! Thank You again for a great experience - we will be back More

OpenTable Diner -
We were a group of 6 who booked this restaurant weeks before for a special event. On the morning of the booking I called to make sure everything was as planned and requested for the booking wanting the evening to go smoothly. I was told that my request would be met and all was fine. On arrival we went upstairs to the rooftop bar as we were early,waited over 30 minutes for our drinks,they didn’t arrive. Arrived at the restaurant and taken to a table that was right in the middle of the floor next to the service area. My request was simple quiet table near the window not stuck out in the centre of the meal service area.( This table was later removed) This was rectified by the manager after a discussion with staff. Embarrassing in front of my guests. We did have a delightful waitress Yuri who did her best to make our evening enjoyable. The food was not really to the standard expected as a lot of the seafood run out and was not replaced and the hot food really poor choice. Not at all what you would expect from a Hyatt. More

Service very good. The food display is super and stretch out so not much que up to get the food. Ample variety of sea food. You get a good view of the Hyde Park if sitting close to the window. Only regret was Opentable did not forward my booking instruction for a cake and candle for my friend’s birthday. The waitress straight away remedy it by putting cakes from the desert table with a candle and two of them came up with the candle lit singing happy birthday to my friend and take photos for us with our phone. We all appreciate their gesture very much. More

Family gathering. Everyone were so impressed with everything. We are still talking about it. More
OpenTable Diner -
It was a really fun experience. It's amazing that even after you have eaten something for years, if you don't see what you are eating then you really have a hard time guessing what it is. The smell, taste and texture is familiar to you but it is hard to name the ingredient. I really enjoyed the experience. The blindfolds were fun, the ingredients I did guess in my vegan dishes were hummus, beetroot, I don't know if I had carrot or sweet potato but it was one of the two, no matter what it was I ate, it was fresh and delicious and I am sure the presentation would have been a feast for the eyes but alas my blindfold was on :) More

The restaurant is impossible to find without assistance, as it can only be reached by walking through another restaurant. The host had no record of our OpenTable reservation but still seated us promptly. Curiously, despite lamentations that our surprise presence created an oversold situation, more than one table remained empty for the duration of our stay. Once seated, service was adequate but less attentive than expected given the price range. We would've purchased at least two more glasses of wine had they noticed our empty glasses earlier. The food was eclectic and artistic and satisfying. A pleasant evening, nonetheless. More
