Rockpool Bar & Grill, Sydney

Rockpool Bar & Grill was a place I had always wanted to experience, so a few months ago I decided to take the plunge and celebrated my birthday there with my family. Everything was brilliant from the moment we stepped into this restaurant. Service was top class, beautiful ambience and great steaks!

I  loved the Riedel Riesling glasses- like chandeliers hanging over the bar, the high ceilings and the Manhattan-style Art Deco interior of RBG.
