Glad you loved it...one of my life''s regrests...that I had the flu and dead tastebuds during our visit!!!

 

[PrettyBlues]

Oh, this is on my list of things to do before leaving Sydney! Sounds sublime

Did you have the accompanying wine course?

 

[katebar]

Tgaal that would suck big time!
You really need to be able to experience the subtlety of the dishes he creates.
Prettyblues my husband did I didn''t. In fact i only had one glass of champagne and a riesling. My GF had more and basically couldn''t eat dessert as there was no room

Tip: Don''t order the mineral water as it was $70.00!!! for our table *ouch*

I will keep the tip in mind, thanks. I don''t mind paying $$$ for the food, as it is for the expertise of the chef, but that price for water is outrageous!

 

[TravelingGal]

Whoa....good thing we never ordered the water!

Yeah, it was a bummer...but it were celebrating a very special occasion (TGuy''s greencard being approved as we had the appointment that morning) and had to go. We went with another couple and our bill was $1000! Good thing back then we got a little more for our US dollar than we do today!

Oooh, Katebar! We had a surprise visit to Sydney a few weeks ago so couldn''t book at T''s. How far in advance did you have to book for a Saturday night?

I am really looking forward to going at some point.

Hi Gemma 4 months

but that was for a Saturday night.
Seriously I would do another night in the week or even a lunch which is 9 courses.
The atmopshere was zen rather than buzzy. My husband did not like the atmosphere and much preferred the Rockpool buzz and (incidently their menu too!).

 

[Harriet]

Yummy, yummy, I''ve got love in my tummy. What was your favourite dish? What did you think of the truffled butter?
