"The only disappointing feature was the cost: It worked out at $80 per head. I was embarrassed for my friends, many of whom were students, who had expected $50 -$60, judging from the cost of the main and the entrees. Only one had dessert, but it was having to buy all the extras - veges and salad - that normally one expects as part of the main course. After all, the main courses were not cheap, no.."

"This restaurant is not conducive to have a conversation due to the noise factor. Also, I do not care to have a main course served without vegetables or salad to which I discovered and then had to order a side course." more reviews

The only disappointing feature was the cost: It worked out at $80 per head. I was embarrassed for my friends, many of whom were students, who had expected $50 -$60, judging from the cost of the main and the entrees. Only one had dessert, but it was having to buy all the extras - veges and salad - that normally one expects as part of the main course. After all, the main courses were not cheap, nor extra large. Food was tasty, but way out of our price range for a return visit. (helen - January, 2007)

"...Head chef Greg Anderson wanted to create 'serious food at neighbourhood prices'. He has succeeded. The food is far from bistro quality - it's original, imaginative and seductive..."

Hannah Rand, 9 to 5 Magazine - April 2008

"The Sugaroom is a chic yet somewhat undiscovered eatery right on the waterfront... A great place for a romantic interlude, a catch-up with friends or a business dinner..."

Lucy Lang, 9 to 5 Magazine - December 2007

"The Sugaroom's view over parts of Sydney's working harbour is quite unusual and totally appealing; in the middle of a residential area, right on the water, complete with a gaggle of local fishermen, it's quintessentially Sydney without the parking problems. The food is fresh, well prepared and the service is exceptionally good. Attentive wait staff hover around (without ever being intrusive), eagle-eyed and ready to anticipate your next request. I'm impressed. Value for money is superb; give it a try!"

Franz Scheurer, Australian Gourmet Pages - December 2006

"With a cool bar, floor to ceiling windows and eclectic but accessible menu, this restaurant provides a laidback yet smart alternative for those seeking absolute style and absolute waterfront. A good international wine list and impressive cocktails will revive even the weariest palate."

S. Fielding, Dining Secrets Sydney - January 2006

"When my sister suggested a super-early meal at Sugaroom it seemed the perfect compromise...The chunky wild mushroom ragout, bitey toasted hazelnuts and a hint of sage in the rocket fetuccini brought back delicious memories of a similar dish I'd eaten at a Venetian trattoria last year...The succulent white fish was perfectly matched with a delicate blood orange butter, steamed asparagus and some naughty creme fraiche potatoes...Sweets, we loved the lemon verbena parfait with poached pear and pomegranates syrup."

Lucy Lang, 9 To 5 Magazine - January 2006
