Oncore by Clare Smyth Barangaroo Reviews
Disappointing
Great view, but dishes were too salty even when they acknowledged our request of low sodium cooking. I was dismayed that two servers poured water for my husband and me simultaneously and then charged us two bottles of water when we didn’t even fini
Perfection personified!
A top top restaurant. World class. If you like classic luxury this is that. No gimmicks. Just excellent cooking and excellent service. This would be a top restaurant even in Europe. I cannot recommend enough. If you get the chance, go! The other 3 ha
Best view and dining experience in Sydney!
The setting was unforgettable, the Classic Tasting menu was delicious, and the service was exceptional. The wine pairings were good, but a bit more refinement could elevate the experience.
The Most Wonderful Way to Celebrate an Engagement
The most fantastic and special way to celebrate our engagement. We attended Oncore by Clare Smyth on the evening of 24/04/2025 on the recommendation of two very close friends of ours and were not at all disappointed - in fact, everything far exceeded
Memorable experience and delicious food
We had a chance to be seated in the bar next to the main dining room. It has great view of the harbour and the opera house as it’s located in the high floor of the Crown tower. Food and service are wonderful. Especially the food is so well plated
Bar visit
Fancy bar next the Oncore restaurant ?26 floors up the Crown Tower. Access by the Oncore drop off rear door and high speed lift.Booking essential. Plenty of smart staff but with some English language question marks. For instance twice when ordering w
Good experience with the perfect bay view
The restaurant offers a Chef’s set mainly made by local products. During your dinner you’ll find interesting tastes combinations and unusual dishes (like kangaroo tartare, for example). Everything is tasty, but I can highlight the extreme uniquen
Oncoure no. Once is enough.
The location is amazing and the initial reaction positive, but for the $350 per head, way overpriced and not worth it. For all the 6 waiters serving during the meal it feels very cold. Not one asked how our meal was. But, the ultimate insult was maki
A unique experience in Sydney.
The staff at Oncore are amazing and complement the extraordinary food to make it a very special event. The presentation and quality of the food are unique and take advantage of some of Australia’s beautiful flora. The views over Sydney Harbour are
Sydney's top experience
Loved every minute of our experience at Oncore, and an experience was the best way to capture it. Sometimes restaurants are more than just the food, they are the show... the complete evening constructed to present the food. That is what we loved
Not worth the hype or the Hats
Oncore relies too heavily on their view, and not enough on the basics. Having visited other restaurants within Australia considered the same calibre and price range, we can firmly say it did not meet expectations. The window tables are the best tabl
It's a must
Best service I've ever had. The food the wine, everything. I loved it from start to end. I'd go back tomorrow if I could. The wine pairing was exceptional, the food blew me away.
Proving white table fine dining is now irrelevant in Sydney
Our evening at Oncore has cemented a theory I’ve had for some time, white table fine dining is dying. In fact, I now believe that in Sydney, it’s dead. Outpaced and outsmarted by the elite brasseries and casual fine dining establishments that bet
#1 Fine Dining in Australia
This is Sydney’s (possibly Australia's) #1 fine dining restaraunt. Every meal was flawlessly devine. This restaraunt is commensurate with a small international holiday. Simply sublime in every sequence of our experience. Put this on your bucket lis
Culinary Sensation
One word WOW. We first saw Clare Smyth as a guest on Australian Masterchef. So it was a no brainer to make reservations when we decided to visit Sydney. The restaurant is beautifully laid out with stunning views of the Opera House, the Bridge an
Perfection to the core
This was my birthday dinner and was probably one of the very best experiences of my life after Ducasse in Hotel Athenée Paris a few years back. The location is formidable with views of Sydney Harbour and almost 360° all around and the furnishings a
The best restaurant I have been to
The best restaurant I have ever been to. Service was amazing, view spectacular, music playlist was fun and the food was incredible
Average
A little bit disappointed. The + : The restaurant is beautiful. Open kitchen is amazing. We got the best view overlooking the bridge and Sydney opera house. Food is tasty and look flawless. Service is discreet. The - : We arrive and waited 20mn in t
Must go Place in Sydney
Fine Dining with view of Opera Hse and Harbour Bridge at level 26 of Crown Towers Sydney. Ordered the 7 course seasonal menu for A$395. Superb. Well worth the money. Comes with a complimentary entree.
Fantastic night out with our best meal ever!
If you have a really special occasion then this is the place to go, from the moment you enter the building you are made to feel special. You are greeted as you get off the lift and you even get to say hello to the chefs in the open kitchen, showing y
Fine dining at an exorbitant price
The menu was fair not spectacular for the price asked ! I felt disappointed by the whole experience
Tasteless in passion, creativity and service. Underwhelming, overrated to say the least.
My recount on some of the highlights below: Ambience of the restaurant was that it was far too noisy, wasn’t able here ourselves and also the waiters explaining the food clearly - very hard to hear, mostly unable to capture it. To further add to
Could have been good but ended up a with a sour taste...
Food was good and the service was also good on the day. However the restaurant did not respect dietary requirements and I was extremely disappointing in their response when this was brought to their attention- they very simply and easily could have s
Lucky enough to have experienced Core now Oncore
Our evening at Oncore was special but we are lucky enough to have been to Core in London a few years ago. That was one of our most memorable worldwide dining experiences, so it was always going to be a difficult one to try to ‘judge’ Oncore, simp
So noisy couldn’t hear any of the good descriptions and discussing wine with the sommelier was as bad. Awful acoustics
Eaten several times at Core , London where it has been faultless in every way. This really disappointed in many ways. Many of the courses were identical to those in London , so not many surprises on the menu. Acoustics so bad that the 4 of us just c
Once in a lifetime experience - DO IT ! Incredible.......
One in a lifetime (and even better if someone else pays) - it's not cheap! Location is stunning with views over Sydney Harbour - views of the Opera House and Harbour Bridge are spectacular - and both during the day and at night. Our work group had
A Very Good Facsimile Of Core, But Missed Perfection
Our first visit to Clare Smyth's Australian interpretation of her superb three star London restaurant: Core. My wife and I have been lucky enough to eat there and she still raves about the Potato and roe dish to this day. It's here and happy to say,
Probably Sydney’s best restaurant
Long weekend in Sydney without the kids and this was the number one restaurant on the “to visit” list. In terms of food, service, and room/view, we think this is currently Sydney’s best restaurant. Booked about eight weeks in advance and could
A memorable luxury dining experience
Oncore is one of the most memorable dining experiences I've had. Every detail was refined, elegant and very enjoyable. It was a delectable culinary journey from start to finish. Also, I love how they bring you a little stool for your handbag.
Half way through already wanna get outta here if not for the credit card cancellation policy
Except the first few nibble dishes, the food is really average and over priced with horrible service to top it up. Firstly told us there’s a window seat to move us to, then a different waiter came around and told us someone booked 3 months in advan
Great meal
Great experience, Food was excellent, service was well coordinated, very good value for money, Would definitely return
Absolutely Outstanding.
This restaurant is absolutely outstanding. Everything i love about fine dining. The service was outstanding. The menu at this time of year is degustation and the artistry is amazing. We started with Spanner Crab, then Potato and Roe, Asparagus tart,

Let's say Peter has a great morning and decides to take his three friends to Oncore by Clare Smyth Barangaroo at 6 PM the same day.
He checks the restaurant's website and sees that no reservations are available. He then looks at the Oncore by Clare Smyth Barangaroo page on AppointmentTrader, but finds that there are no user postings either.
That's where the community-driven bid process comes in.
Peter can place a bid on AppointmentTrader, which serves as a reward for any community member who chooses to work on securing the reservation. AT then notifies experienced users who may be able to help.
Step-by-Step Process
1.) Setting a Reward (Bid)
* AppointmentTrader uses historical data to recommend a reasonable reward amount for securing a reservation - let's say $100.
* Peter really wants to go, so he increases the bid (or reward) to $200.
* At this stage, the reservation does not exist yet.
2.) A Community User Picks Up the Bid
* ElaborateHouse74, an experienced AT user, has a strong track record of successfully securing reservations and low refund requests, they receive a notification about Peter's $200 bid.
* ElaborateHouse74 picks up the bid, meaning they will now work on securing the reservation.
* Peter can now talk to ElaborateHouse74 for any questions Peter may have as ElaborateHouse74 user fills the bid.
3.) Finding the Reservation
* ElaborateHouse74 now uses their connections at Oncore by Clare Smyth Barangaroo to secure the table.
* If they successfully get the 6 PM table for four, Peter receives a confirmation that the reservation has been secured.
* If ElaborateHouse74 fails to secure the reservation, the bid is returned to the pool so another user can try.
4.) Payment & Protection
* Once the reservation is secured, ElaborateHouse74 receives the $200 reward which is credited to ElaborateHouse74's AT balance, where users manage their own funds and can withdraw via available payout options such as bank transfer, PayPal, or Zelle.
* Peter can now enjoy the dinner with his friends at Oncore by Clare Smyth Barangaroo!
* As with all transactions on AT, disputes and no-show fees are handled through the platform's community-driven resolution system. Users with a strong track record are incentivized to fulfill bids successfully, and community members can report issues to maintain trust in the marketplace.
