Was string at Automata a mag?
This was the second time I had been to Automata and I enjoyed it even more than the first time. The food was exceptional on both occasions, but I felt that the level of service was much improved this time (and was, in fact, impeccable). We also sat downstairs this time and although still a vibrant and busy space, it seemed quieter and I found it much easier to hear my dining companions (whereas upstairs had been too...

What string dislikes about Automata:
Imaginative food but unbelievably rude restaurant manager. The food is terrific but not worth dining there with such an awful woman at front of house. No wonder they called this restaurant Automata she embodies the word! Sydney has a huge range of wonderful restaurants run by nicer people who serve up as good (or better) food. Look elsewhere. Automata delivers service that makes it hard to swallow even great food. View all feedback.
It was quite disappointing. I walked in with high expectations but it really missed the mark in many ways. The food was salty and seemed to follow a limited flavour profile. There were really no standout dishes and it was overall a very average experience. We requested a candle to be lit on one of the dessert dishes (for our friend's birthday), it was agreed upon and they didnt even follow through and simply came out with just the desserts. Will probably not come back regarding the high price that doesnt meet other fine dining experiences.
Fantastic food but was rushed out within an hour (6-7pm). When you spend a lot on food and wine you don't want to be pressured to leave in such a short time, and on a Thursday! Hope they take this feedback on board as otherwise à nice place to eat.
Automata was great! For the price, I would say that it is one of the best degustation experiences in Sydney. All the dishes were packed full of flavour and very well balanced. Highlight for me would be the sugarloaf cabbage with the mushroom sauce - who knew the humble cabbage could taste so delicious?! My only grumble would be that we were seated on the mezzanine level communal table, and the proximity to your neighbours can be a little awkward. But at $88 per head for such stellar food, it's hard to complain. If you're looking for a place for a special occasion, I would recommend this place. Can't wait to return!

This also made for a much better experience.
