We couldn't get into our first choice of restaurant so we made a reservation for Silica and we were not disappointed! We had the 6 course tasting option. We started with the Merimbula Sydney Rock Oysters with ginger and shallot mignioutte. Fresh, dressing well balanced left us wanting more! King Fish Crudo - Green apple, pickled Kohlrabi, sour cream and a rice crisp - the rice crisp was so delicate, the kingfish and the condiments together were a burst of heaven in our mouth. Couldn't wait for the roasted heirloom beetroot and didn't disappoint. The barramundi fillet, skin was crisp, the barramundi perfectly cooked, cauliflower puree silky and smooth. The beef eye fillet perfectly cooked and so tender you could cut it with a butter knife, our dessert caramelised pineapple was a perfect way to end our meal. The only criticism we had was that the cutlery was not changed between each course, just taken off our plate and placed on our serviette. If you are in town do yourself a favour and drop in!
Went for dinner, which is a tasting menu, and the food was good, modern Australian which isn't my favourite cuisine as I prefer bolder flavours, but was tasty. I especially loved the dessert. Service was good, and with a full restaurant the dishes came out at regular intervals - the kitchen must run like clockwork! The ambiance was difficult to digest though, lots of concrete and wood, lots of echo, which meant the moment it was full, I had to raise my voice for my partner to hear, and the servers were leaning in and talking in our ears to ask our drink orders. Good for food, terrible of you want a romantic date with conversation.
Beautiful restaurant with stunning views. Food was lovely although menu online is not up to date and it’s a minimum of 2 courses which would have been good to know before hand.
We were here on a rainy Saturday for lunch, but it did not detract from our experience. The sea view was wild & and windy, but we felt cozy & well looked after by the staff. The barramundi, chicken perri perri and the balmain bug were all well received. The sides of pumpkin & potatoes were delicious. My partner enjoyed his local craft beer & the wine list is a good selection. We felt it was worth the drive from Sydney.
I had my wedding reception here and highly recommend If you are eloping or having a micro/ smaller wedding. We had 24 people total and hired the upstairs area. The staff were amazing from initial booking to the bar and staff on the night. We did a set menu with platinum drinks package and everyone loved the food. Honestly raved about how delicious it was. Thank you to Luke, Kate and all of your staff for making everything so seamless. We had an amazing night!
