glebe point diner

love this place! it's not cheap, but for a special dinner it's worth the extra coin. the menu is always changing, but everything i have ever had here is good. the oysters are to die for. good wine list too.

great food but.... ...not much else to redeem this place i am sorry to say.
the food is very good, at least an 8/10
the tables are too close together and when i arrive to an almost empty restaurant i don't expect to be seated immediately next to the only other couple in there, it's a liberty taken at my expense to make the place look busier and i don't like it and it shouldn't happen, ever.
the location is what it is, not ideal but not going to change.
and did i mention the food was very good?

faultless! beautiful food, perfect service from our waitress.

there's no finer diner!. we got a last minute booking for dinner and were not disappointed. the staff were lovely and attentive, the dining room is stylih, chairs comfortable & bathrooms equipped with aesop products. also, parking, unmetered, out the front!
we had the scallops with pig tail - ok, i know this is a twist on the scallop + pigear/cheek/chirzo combo, but please, if i order a tail, i want curly! and no need to crumb, seriously, it's the same skin that we make crackling from - so it was delicious, but a bit unadventurous for the promise.
so had the duck, quail & chicken terrine - divine. he won! a big slab, with sourdough toast, poached mini pears and quince paste. yum!
then i had the blue eye - perfectly cooked with lots of peas & a few clams ( a bit odd, but fashionable, meh). so won again with the 12 hr slow roasted berkshire pig. generous & delish.
should not have listened to the waiter who suggested the snake beans - should've stuck with the salad leaves. with a bottle of wine $90 each - no dessert, so possibly a bit exxy, but what price on good food and a full belly?

one of their specials was the spiced gingerbread macaron & it tasted exactly like christmas. i was so excited. also on the plate was nougat with white chocolate & pistachio plus a white chocolate with peanut gianduja thimble.

great atmosphere!. walking in late on a wednesday night, we were quite lucky to get ourselves a table. the meals were great as expected but so was the service and atmosphere. will go back.

very consistent. i love this restaurant,always efficient friendly service and the food is delicious>>
specials change on a regular basis and i like that they reflect local and whats in season>>
i have eaten here on a regular basis for three years and highly recommend....outside tables are great you can view the glebe locals always very colorful..

good but a bit pricey. def worth visiting!

tremendous food. great service. grosset polish hill reisling spectacular

excellent food. great service. fantastic wine list

went home happy (not just because of the wine). have eaten at gpd three times, every occasion was a delight. the sofa seats on the front 'balcony' are the perfect spot to drink the excellent wine on offer and appreciate the wonderful dishes of which you cannot help but offer a small sample to your dining companion(s). would be my first choice in glebe for a romantic dinner - but i actually took my parents on the last occasion and they loved it !

never got to eat anything, sat for half an hour while we were studiously ignored, then left. appalling service and will never go back.

it certainly has been a while since i dined at glebe point diner. i first discovered this restaurant whilst running around glebe, as we used to live around there, and thought how 'cool' this place looked. came with 'the mother' first, before it was famous and before it received its one hat and loved it. i loved the home, comfort cooked food, the consistency of each course and the extensive wine list. came back later in the year with a group of friends, and from memory, they may have just received a one hat and we all had a lovely meal. unfortunately, they lost that one hat in the 2010 good food guide. hats or no hats, i was keen to go back! i was catching up with a very dear friend, s. she lives on the other side of the anzac bridge, and considering the last time we met, she crossed the bridge, i thought it was time, i went to the other side. glebe point diner can be found at the end of glebe point road, close to the pa

nice atomosphere. food was very average and way over priced. i had the steak, it was very fatty and over cooked. tries to be an up market restuarant but is not.

...i know many people adore the place and it’s easy to see why. ingredients are sourced locally and fresh (some grown in the gpd’s backyard) and most of the food is organic. also, for any north-shorers, gpd just opened in neutral bay in july.

awesome food and service. the blue eyed cod was cooked to perfection. great wine list as well.
