kingsleys woolloomooloo

the customer service was really amazing!! the service was really on point! the seafood dishes and the truffled potato gratin was really nice! my boyfriend ordered a dry aged striploin on the bone 400g. unfortunately, after one return of the dish to the kitchen, the meat was still returned burnt but cooked well inside. he wasn’t satisfied with his dish! would return again for the seafood but honestly don’t understand what is the hype with the steaks at this restaurant!

overpriced and overhyped. my steak and crab was overcooked and terribly greasy. wont be back.

the service so far was brilliant, each waiter was extremely helpful with many bright suggestions to try help improve and satisfy your dining experience at kingsley’s. i honestly love this location, it is by far one of my favourites. sitting out the front under a heater and enjoying the slow movement of the wharf with the sydney cbd as a backdrop, what more could you want?

love, love, love!. i've been going to kingsleys for a number of years and it never lets me down. the menu is delectable, the wine list exceptional, and the staff perfection. i have had a booking for 6 and turned up with 10 having seen friends in the street and nothing was too much trouble.

what i particularly like is the pricing. what you get here for $40 is not what you get in other places/cities for $40. the steaks are exceptional, and there is even one for $22. many establishments fall victim to "large white plate syndrome" where they are charging for the privilege rather than the food. when i spend that much on a main i want to enjoy every bite, and at kingsleys you are left wanting to lick the plate.

shared the tajima steak with a friend, lucky i was being polite otherwise i would have devoured the whole thing alone! it beautifully cooked, the fat was rendered & the meat was oh so juicey! we also had alaskan king crab, another winner winner crab for dinner!! 😄😄

i liked this place but doubt i will ever return. the service was pretty poor. i like my wait staff to know about all the dishes so when i ask for details they know the answer. especially in an expensive restaurant like this one. our waiter was sweet but didn't know his stuff. word of warning don't waste your money on their cocktails. we ordered one each and didn't bother finishing them. the food was pretty good but nothing to rave about. the parsnips were tasty. i didn't not like this place but didn't love it either

pros: water views, quality ingredients, nicely presented dishes, nice decor, set price for mud crab

i booked kingsleys for my husbands 38th bday and all i requested was a nice table. i can say that we not only got a nice table but amazing service, fantastic food, beautiful environment, which made the night just that more special, thank you kingsleys.
i highly recommend this place if you want a great steak. my husband had the massive 650g and i had the sirloin, both amazing. for entee we had sashimi and oysters, the sashimi was amazing!
at the end of the night we shared a desert and it came out with a birthday candle which was not requested, but was a great surprise. it's the little things that go along way!
if you get a chance to read one of my other review on fine dining restaurants, specifically on catalina, kingsleys can teach catalina a few things. we dealt with 1 waiter, not over 10 like catalina.
all in all, i would go again and again and have recommended kingsleys to many many friends!
thanks kingsleys again!!

great steak yum

my partner organised for us to go here for dinner for my birthday, it was great!
the service was impeccable, our waiter was on the ball at all times, our glasses were never empty.
the food was top quality, best steak i have ever eaten, it was cooked to perfection.
when we ordered dessert they brought out mine with a birthday candle in it, it was very thoughtful 👍🏼

frankly, you can’t fault the view and ambience. we had the malbec -the good shepherd - it was lovely and well priced. we had eye fillet; medium and well, risotto (vegetarian) and kids steak. the risotto was tasteless and watery! the mushroom sauce was not very nice and for the price you pay, i’ve had better steak. very disappointed in the meal.

last night we took advantage of the fork festival and we ate at kingsleys woolloomooloo. the singapore chilli mud crab (pictured) was ridiculously messy but so so good. other highlights for me were the alaskan snow crab croquettes (pictured) and the salt & szechuan pepper cuttlefish (pictured). the desserts were delightful and the creme brûlée (pictured) was the best i have ever eaten. #kingsleys

went there for the crab mania promotion which was essentially a crab themed tasting menu which was $90pp. service was very nice, views and general vibes were amazing however food was disappointing. snacks was above average. but the entree was completely tasteless and the “singaporean chilli” crab was not too fresh and tasted like chilli tomato sauce. will probably not come back.

the steak was yummy but missing the wow factor for a wagyu rump 6+ marbling. for entree we had a mix of seafood which was alright but the duck pate is fantastic in the cold plate.

affogato was a great finish to the meal.

all in all a good experience and the food was descent. it’s a good place to luncheon with nice view and service.

kingleys is set on the beautiful wharf of woolloomooloo with exceptional view, service & dining. their specialities are quality grade steaks, however have a great menu to select from if you wanted to opt for seafood, burgers and other condiments. amazing wine menu, ambiance, service & top notch food!
