Reviews & Notes"... Bennelong is a triumph. In providing a restaurant that is fine — very fine — without being threateningly sophisticated and at a price point that is expensive yet not ridiculously so, they have offered a stage for more Australians to engage with the work of one of our finest-ever culinary minds in our national house. It fits. It works. Bravo. Take a bow."
ReviewerElizabeth Merryment - Daily Telegraph 14/7/15 9/10
Reviews & Notes"Bennelong is exactly what it set out to be: a lovely relaxed Australian restaurat in a unique setting."
ReviewerJohn Lethlean - The Australian 8/8/15 4 maps
Reviews & Notes"Already, this is one of the most delicious restaurants in Sydney, with its beautifully judged menu of vivid, distinct flavours and elegant solutions to various logistical challenges. What I wasn't expecting was the sense of joy, the pride, the warmth and generosity that comes from the Fink family's patronage, the inspirational Gilmore and chef de cuisine Robert Cockerill, and the friendly young staff. If you want to feel good about Australia's place in the world of food and hospitality, go. Just go."

Reviews & Notes"... there’s the feeling that if you’re eating here, it’s as much because you’re taking part in a spectator sport as anything else. It’s definitely food with the ability to offend both ramen and burger purists, but I get a sort of pervy enjoyment out of it, and it’s great with a Japanese beer."
