Very swanky restaurant on Bridge Street near the Intercontinental and the Museum of Sydney. I had a friend from San Francisco staying nearby and she suggested dinner here… «what do you know about the bridge?» «ummm… well, it was built in I think 1935, Paul Hogan used to be a bridge painter! that’s how he was discovered!»(oops… Wikipedia says it was opened in 1932… is that really all I know about the bridge?) «ha, cute. I meant The Bridge Room, sorry!» That’s how our texts went. I Unilocaled it and it had good reviews so I said«sure!»… So this is upscale but NOT trendy. Which is a compliment coming from me. I’ve just about had my fill of arrogant, expensive, trendy douchebag places. The staff are impeccably friendly, knowledgable and polite. Always helpful and accommodating. Polished. My food was great, but I think my friend ordered the better choices. She had the Moreton Bay Bugs for her entrée and the chicken for her main. I had the spanner crab entrée and the Hapuka main(its fish!). We shared the passionfuit dessert. Winner. So, so good. I recommend the cardamom cocktail. Very sharp, yummy and citrusy, if you like that kind of thing. This is a GREATCHOICE for an upscale dining experience.

Came here for lunch, surrounded by middle aged overweight banker types who were drinking a lot of wine before heading back to the office to run the nation’s finances. Aside from that however, this is a really good restaurant. I had the«catch of the day» carpaccio(John Dory as it happens) then the Murray Cod. Both were excellent. Started with a bit of bread and olives. Service was just right — attentive, but not in your face. A smallish, tight floor plan, but decorated in a typically modern way. I look forward to coming here for dinner soon.

It was quite good for a Chef’s hat restaurant. Portion is in the smaller size but it was well presented. Unfortunately we came in at the wrong time or just unlucky, because for a 2 chef’s hat restaurant we got served poorly. We had to ask someone to serve us, and ask them for the bread and drinks to be served. We ordered the Morton bug which was delicious, Rocks oysters was good for the entrée and we had the lamb and crispy trout for our mains. The trout was different but we’d prefer the lamb. Their desserts was amazing — very well presented and super delicious! Comfy seating and cool décor and at the end of serving the main chef came out and talked to his guests which I always love and appreciate.

We have been to the Bridge Room about six times now since it opened two years ago and it is still our favourite restaurant for a special occasion, such as a birthday or introducing an overseas visitor to good Aussie dining. We have been there as a couple as well as part of a group of six and eight people. To be honest, it would be very difficult to say what our favourite dish would be, as we have always thoroughly enjoyed everything we ordered. But, the food is only part of the experience, the staff are so attentive, without being overly noticeable. As an example, they took my coat when I arrived and without me needing to ask, it just appeared as I was leaving. Through out the dinner it was that type of service that impressed. The wine list is great and changes from time to time, which is good and bad, as I did enjoy my glass of Good Catholic Girl Shiraz from the Clare Valley, but this was no longer available during my last visit. I would highly recommend the Bridge Room for that special night out.

It’s only been open for 7 weeks and already, The Bridge Room has a corporate following. Located at 44 Bridge Street across the road from AMP is the new Modern Australian restaurant, The Bridge Room. The menu is NOT extensive however perfect offering six entrees, six mains and six desserts and some very appealing specials. The oyster salad($ 23) for an entrée is something you must try. The Kingfish main with white asparagus and fennel is delicious although slightly overcooked and with most mains priced in the $ 40 range the fine dining seems a little bit staid and still in the 1980’s and we are not living in an uncertain post GFC environment. The dessert menu is tempting even if you are totally full you feel at least compelled to order something to taste. Their take on a fruit salad is sensational with mango, passion fruit and a scoop of ice cream with coconut ice on top. Their cheese selection is impeccable which includes a Fromage Daffonise. The staff are very helpful, friendly and know the menu very well. They also know the wine list and were able to recommend suitable wines matched with food. The space is deceptively large and the purple water glasses and décor set the mood for a wonderful meal.
