Firedoor is one of the best restaurant experiences I've had in some time. But be prepared to pay plenty for it.

The $195 set menu was solid, but I do wish there was more red meat as I'm not a massive fan of seafood. We did the upgrade and got the dry aged steak and it nearly brought a tear to my eye. As the seafood was spectacularly cooked, it did make it enjoyable for me, but it's honestly the steak that brings it all together. The waiters are personable and very knowledgeable and you do feel like you're getting your money's worth.

Overall, it's a must try for special occasions.

Our first experience at Firedoor and overall it was great. The first four plates were sensational. They had very creative, considered  flavours and textures, this is why you go to this restaurant. However, we were disappointed with the wagyu dish, it did not have any flavour or wow factor. The dessert also felt like an afterthought, served in a cold prepared dish. Overall we enjoyed our experience and would recommend it to visit, it felt a bit production line in comparison to the competition.

A very special meal and experience.   I simply can't fault any aspect of the service.   The meal it self was exceptional.   The dry aged steak was simply the best steak I have ever eaten.   It was a very clever meal combination and exceptional pairing of flavours and textures, the premium paired wine list was amazing and I can simply say simply a well done to the chef and staff

A standout experience. This is unique to Sydney's dining scene, the way they cook everything here over charcoal and different types of wood. The dishes are all excellent, well executed and presented. They cater for vegetarians and pescatarians too. Great flavours and service. Try to request a seat at the bench to watch the theatre of the kitchen.

Firedoor is an unforgettable dining experience! The food and service were exceptional from start to finish. We added the aged beef and bone marrow to our set meal, which was a fantastic decision. The aged beef had an intense, deep flavor with a perfect balance of tenderness and smokiness – truly a highlight. The Murray cod was also a standout, incredibly juicy and full of smoky flavor. Every dish showcased the quality ingredients and unique fire-cooking techniques. Highly recommend for anyone looking to experience one of Sydney’s best!
