Pei Modern Sydney

The food is safe gourmet paddock to plate style. The presentation is primitive such as full duck in a pan. The setting is in hotel lobby so noise can be quiet or noisier, though pleasant. Staff are experienced and knowledgable about menu.

Food was great, allows for variety of dishes to be easily shared family style. Extensive wine list.Service was friendly, helpful and offered excellent advice on the dishes and wine.Relaxed atmosphere was also great for catching up with friends.

The food was boring. My entrée was a fennel salad that consisted of half a fennel sliced on a plate, a few pieces of mint jelly and a garnish of dill not especially imaginative! The main was chicken (they had run out of the snapper), pan roasted with Jerusalem artichokes. That was it. Service was professional once you could find a waiter. It's a big restaurant and when it got busy, there were too few staff. The Good Food Guide gives it 15.5 out of 20. 13 is closer to the mark.

The staff were exceptionally professional and did everything to ensure the experience was outstanding. The food was superb but the layout felt a bit like a shopping center food court.

Pei M was actually a touch disappointing for us after reading reviews . Far too cafeteria like for our taste and expectations . We cancelled a booking at Rockpool for Pei and we're sorry . Food and wine just ok but ambience not as good as expected
