What Durward Flatley doesn't like about Banksii Vermouth Bar & Bistro:
Having visited a number of restaurants in the Barangaroo precinct we were looking forward to our visit to Banksii with high hopes and unfortunately they were not met. We had to wait on cocktails (which tasted more like cough medicine), several drink orders were not...filled and then had to ask for our order to be taken.

I have already been twice at Banksii and I guess I will return. I love the food here. It is not just food, it's a tasting experience. I loved every single dish I have tried, no exception, and there was no dish which was just OK, they are all amazing. It is new and comfortable, exciting and reassuring.Service and wine choice are very good as well. View all feedback.

Banksii, I think, is still finding it's feetI can't say I had the fine dining experience that I paid for last night.

Banksii at Barangaroo offers a unique and diverse dining experience, with a mix of positive and negative feedback. While some diners were disappointed in the slow service and lack of attention from staff, others raved about the delicious food and wide selection of wines available. The bottomless brunch option received mixed reviews, with some guests feeling that the portions were too small and the drinks were not truly bottomless. Despite the ups and downs, most reviewers appreciated the quality of the food and the beautiful location on the waterfront. Overall, Banksii seems to be hit or miss depending on individual preferences and experiences.
