Mode Kitchen & Bar in The Rocks

The Express Lunch is a two-course menu with your choice of a full meal and main for $55. I chose tuna tartare and steak, but the amount of tuna was so small that it was meaningless to call it a menu item, and the quality of the tuna was not good. The steak came with just the steak and French fries, without even a side of onion garnish. It was so overcooked that it was closer to well-done than medium-rare. When I tasted the end of the meat, it had a slight smell, so I thought it had to be grilled this well. The only advantages are that they serve tomato sauce from scratch and the price is $55, but I dont think Ill come back for lunch again.

The food was very the top notch. Especially if you like a asian influence in your meal.

A great breakfast.

You need to change the description. This place closes at 9 pm. Not open 24 hours

My partner and I have dined at Mode a few times and the food and service are always excellent. But tonight the service was exceptional and memorable. Our server Dilshan was so knowledgeable about the menu he was able to provide great recommendations that suited our taste and preferences. He also exudes so much joy it s infectious, it made my partners birthday dinner such a special experience for us both.

Very special venue for a very special occasion. The Four Seasons hotel Sydney staff excelled themselves ensuring the success of our stay and of our dining experience at Mode. Food

Wish the food was as good as the service and atmosphere.

Best Negroni by mixologist Alan using Giuseppe Carpano DAL1786.. recommended Pinot Noir that pair with the dry aged duck breast, Excellent!

We had a wonderful and joyous evening dinner last night. Thank you to all the staffs, the Chef & the Manager for making us feel welcome. We will definitely be coming back again.

Food is just fine but personally not that great for me. Great service and ambience for dinner

James was so amazing, making the experience even better. Couldn t be done without him.

Words cant describe how good my food was. Definitely coming back when Im 18 to try out their drinks.

Had a Birthday Party at Grain Bar on Saturday night and wanted to get a quick bite to eat at Mode before attending the party. My wife and I went to Mode and unfortunately, they had a fixed/set menu available only - which was disappointing as we browsed online and found the full menu to be quite good. We asked if we could get the full menu, but they told us that unfortunately it was a set menu only due to the Vivid Sydney festival. What I found out in the middle of dining was that the table next to us ordered steaks and had access to the full menu. The double standard is shocking. I get having a set menu if youre expecting a large amount of people, but the restaurant was basically empty and then they opened up the full menu to people staying at the hotel only? The set menu was pretty shocking, for the main course we selected the Duck, which was basically 100grams of Duck meat, and 4 pieces of lettuce with some plum sauce. No other sides provided - just four (4) pieces of lettuce. I had to order a bowel of chips as a side otherwise I would have left starving. Absolutely shocking. Giving this 2 stars, but granted and HOPEFULLY, this is not the experience on a normal night where you can access the full menu. Hopefully this review will have you change your stance (and fixed menu options) on other Vivid nights!

Mode is always a wonderful experience. Devina and Aman were delightful! Highly recommended :)

I am not one to usually leave a review, however, I would like to personally give kudos to both Diego and James who served us over several nights here at Mode Kitchen & Bar; their service and hospitality has been phenomenal. Their knowledge on the trade was outstanding and very much recommended. James s moustache is one to be envied. Thankyou to the staff here.

The Mog Champ sends his regards. I was here recently to celebrate someones birthday with a nice fancy dinner and we had a great experience here! Shoutout to the energetic and passionate-sounding Dishan for setting us up with the menu and and orders. Also to Catherine for following up with us later on. After the special menu was gone through, we decided to order the lobster which wasnt on the menu. Who doesnt wanna splurge on some seafood sometime amirite? For entree we had the Blackmore Taretare and a Sicilian eggplant. Follow that up with some prosecco and a mocktail recommendation called citrus for drinks and we had a nice surprise by the end our meal with some finger-sized desserts. The taretare was the best thing Ive enjoyed and definitely felt like it outshined everything we ordered. Thanks for the night Mode! Mogliest Regards, Your Mog Champ

Food was amazing, service incredible, the staff couldn t do enough to help. We had drinks in Grain first and the staff there were amazing too! We loved it so much we are returning on Friday! Highly recommend!

The food the too bad but could be better. The service is perfect!! (But the buffet in the morning service not so good especially in the front table). The atmosphere is a little bit noisy.

The food is delicious

Enjoyed the wonderful 3 course set menu in this restaurant while staying at the hotel. From the moment we arrived service was welcoming, friendly and attentive but in a laid back kind of way. We started with some really first rate sourdough. There was a choice of two for each course and we both opted for the kingfish for the starter followed by the tooth fish as our main. Wow!! So tasty! The kingfish was crudite style with Asian flavours and nasturium flowers. The tooth fish was meaty, but delicate at the same time. Gorgeous crispy skin and melt in the mouth flaky flesh. Served on a bed of pak choi with a dashi sauce. I then chose the frozen pavlova with apricot sorbet while my husband opted for the chocolate and raspberry cremaux. Both desserts were fantastic. A beautifully balanced meal accompanied by a lovely Marlborough Sauvignon Blanc. Finally some dark chocolate truffles to complete a great experience. A lovely touch was when the restaurant manager came to speak to us and we shared some nice memories of our Four Seasons stays around the world. Congratulations to all the staff (and the chef!) - we will be back!

Food was great. Service by James is OUTSTANDING: attentive, professional. Hostess (asian broad lady) needs further training though

We dined at Mode kitchen and Bar for our sons 21st birthday. The food was delicious and beautifully presented and the staff were wonderful and attentive and even brought out a surprise birthday dessert for my son, this was our second visit and we will be back! Thank you for a lovely experience.

We had an awesome dinner our first night in Sydney. The staff and food were great.

Honestly not the best food for being a restaurant lounge inside a four seasons. We didn t stay at this four season but of all the ones I ve been to this is the most run down looking one. Back to the food review, I order the steak frites and it was not that good. I also thought the presentation wasn t great. I feel like I could have ordered this back home from a cheap dinner somewhere.

Excellent service at this restaurant is top notch. The waiter tried very hard and was at his best in terms of service. I liked the Iceberg salad and Fish of the day Baramundi.

We had a good dinner for my late birthday. The food was good and the service from the staff are even better.

Christmas dinner experience disappointing. Staff friendly and efficient. Food got cold quickly when brought to the table. Turkey was not fresh, but deli style meat .Full roasted bird was on display but you could not have a cut from it. An American customer was complaining about how rare cooked the beef was in the serving dish, I joined in we requested fresh cut from the full roast on display, we got some push back but the chef gave us our request extremely over priced and poor value for money.

The ribeye and fries were 5-stars. Steak was cooked and presented perfectly medium rare as ordered. It s 1kg and could ve easily fed 3-4 people! The big bowl of fries as a side were perfectly crisp and delicious. I d come back for these two alone. The octopus and oysters were good too. Service was okay and could be improved. Sparkling water was requested upon seating and still water was brought. Upon asking for wine recommendations the waiter should have asked for the sommelier instead of trying to wing it at first. Also a bit pushy on ordering some entrees in addition to the 1kg Ribeye and fries for two citing it takes 30 minutes to prepare! At the end of the meal, our bill was not correct in our favor and out of honesty took a while to figure out. Despite some of the issues we faced with the service, Mode has a delicious 1kg Ribeye and fries!

Seeing as Mode had a high tea option, and being an avid high tea aficionado, I definitely had to try it out. The staff were excellent and very accommodating. Sadly, the food felt lacking for some reason. Im not quite sure what it was that was missing though. Perhaps it was just that my palate wasnt attuned to the menu on offer? It was still a good experience overall though. (also note that this was 6 months or so ago that we visited the venue)

Fantastic food and servide her at Mode. All of the staff were very friendly, but especially Eloise. All of the food was very well cooked and delicious.

Dilshan, our server, was wonderful. He kept aside some oysters for my husband as he knew it was his birthday and organised a birthday dessert as well. His recommendations based on our tastes were perfect. Delicious food with outstanding service.

Amazing experience there. The food left me speachless and the staff was very knowledgeable and friendly. Highly recommend!

We had the valentine menu for $180pp. Honestly, taste of the food was average,nothing stood out from starter to dessert.We were just disappointed with the seating allocation on the edge where cutlery/cloth table was. The waitresses/staff kept passing by every minute, either dropping cutlery or opening the drawer etc. The host/manager should have at least allocated our seat in a much private location/less traffic(eg: booth area) especially after we requested and indicated we were celebrating a special event (Anniversary) in the booking.The restaurant ambience didn t make it enjoyable, especially because of the lack of five star service/gesture given and the location of the seating. The restaurant didn t do anything special to acknowledge that it was our special anniversary and on valentines day. At least the dessert could come with Happy Anniversary written instead of being empty. One simple gesture can make the experience memorable and make the customer happy. Overall, this experience was definitely not worth $360 plus surcharge. Many other venues in Sydney can deliver a five star service with less or equal value than MODE Four Seasons. Dietary restrictions: The restaurant should advise the customer if any raw food is served in the set menu.

Excellent experience in the mode kitchen and bar. Love the environment and vibe, service was perfect. We loved how the waiter introduced every dish to us. A lovely dinner for four, we ordered three entrées, four main dishes, a dessert and a bottle of Shiraz. Rock oysters - quite fresh, love the vinegar and shallot sauce which helps to remove the fishy smell Kingfish crudo - raspberry sauce was surprisingly good with the sashimi. The nutty flavour of the pine nuts helped elevate the whole taste. Tasmanian octopus - the octopus was wood roasted but still remained soft and tender. We loved the octopus but just not a big fan of the crunchy chickpeas underneath. Grilled tenderloin - we ordered medium rare and the beef was cooked beautifully. Super tender and juicy, matched so well with the mushroom sauce. This is our favourite dish for the night !! Dry aged duck breast - crispy skin and tender juicy meat. The apricot on the side gave us a fresh and appetising flavour. Love how they were out together. Glacier 52 toothfish - the capsicum sauce was interesting matching with the fish. The fish was cooked nicely. If the skin could be more crispy then would be perfect. Risotto acquerello - the colour was very green but actually it tasted good. You can tasted that they have put generous amount of asparagus. The sauce was not too heavy. We enjoyed all dishes and for a hotel quality restaurant, the price was very reasonable. Would love to come back again!

Amazing service, exquisite food! We were served by Dilshan who was absolutely incredible. He made our experience extra special.

We arrived early and had drinks at the bar, the drinks were fantastic. The bar tender mixed an off the menu cocktail and it was by far the best thing that I have drank. Thus why I have given two stars instead of 1. However, then we had high tea, as someone with a gastric sleeve, I still managed to leave there starving. Almost a miracle. Apart from the fact that some of the menu was not tasty to say the least, there also was not enough food. When compared to the Tea Rooms, this place was absolutely horrible. I could have gone to a fancy restaurant for what I had paid for this, actually it cost me just a little less than Margaret. On top of that, when asked for extra egg sandwiches, we were told that there was none as they only made enough to cover the bookings they had for the day. After getting a little frustrated, we were finally given two extra quarter egg sandwiches which cost an additional 16 dollars. Ridiculous, it s essentially half a sandwich with egg on white bread! Waste of money!

I experienced the breakfast buffet and they have an amazing selection of gourmet breakfast food. There s all your savoury big breakie favourites, pastries, overnight oats and toppings, yogurt, fruit and a salad bar. The coffee was good as well. It s definitely a great, premium breakfast buffet in Sydney!

As expected .

Dinner was a hit. Wagu skews and octopus have the perfect texture. Duck breast has the crispy outside, tenderloin steak is served with mushroom sauce, just about right. Pumpkin side is great. They have a very well made choices on kids menu.

We all enjoyed delicious meals.

We went late lunch so the restaurant was quiet but people were coming and going from the bar having drinks. Steak was amazing. Cooked phenomenally and even though its not a high marble score cut it was tender and delicious. Mustards were a bit too strong for my palate - iceberg salad amazing. Dessert was cool but the seasonal pepperberry didnt do much for me. Would recommend!

The waiter, dilshan had exceptional service and made our night. He recommended the ice burg lettuce, 10/10. Amazing food and service

You will love the new Aperitivo experience at @modekitchenandbar located in Sydneys luxurious 5 star hotel @fssydney . The perfect spot for after-work drinks and catchup, you can unwind with a cocktail in one hand and a plate of delicious Italian street food in the other for a bargain price of $30. The food is an endless buffet for 2 hours, prepared by Chef Mannelli and his team including crusty foccaccia, watermelon salad, cured meats and a selection of olives, pickles and cheeses. A great spot for drinks, snacks and laughs, and if you are still thirsty they have an Italian themed cocktail menu at $15 per cocktail making it one of the cheapest cocktails in Sydney. I cant wait to go back for a pre-dinner experience. @modekitchenandbar @fssydney Available Mon to Friday 4 to 6pm

Ciao amici! Looking for a great way to catch up with friends before dinner? We were invited by the Four Seasons hotel modekitchenandbar to enjoy a classic Italian tradition, aperitivo! Its the perfect way to unwind after a long day and get ready for a delicious dinner after or for some they dont need dinner after. Aperitivo is a pre-dinner drink and snack thats served particularly in Milan. @fssydney between 4-6 pm Monday to Friday they serve a special $30 menu where you get a signature cocktail like a negroni, bellini, Americano and a buffet of light Italian bites. Prosciutto, grana padano, salads, panella...a feast by chef Francesco Mannelli. If you just want a cocktail its $15 which already is a great price for sydney in a nice hotel. Add the buffet and youre getting a wonderful deal. Its a time to catch up with friends, colleagues and family, enjoy some light bites, and sip on some refreshing cocktails. A great thing to do before you go out later. Its the perfect way to relax, socialize, andsavour theflavours of Italy here in Sydney. Salute! #aperitivo #italiantraditions #italianfood #cocktails #foodlover #aperitivoatmode

Can I just say this is one of the best happy hours in the cbd that I have experienced? Monday-Fridays from 4-6pm and $30 for an all you can eat Italian antipasto, one cocktail ($15 each after that)?? Amazing! Will definitely be back to bring my friends before a night out!

A beautiful bar and restaurant on the ground floor of Four Seasons Hotel. Luxuriously finished with a simple but noteworthy menu and helpful and friendly staff. I highly recommend coming here for dinner even if you are not staying at the hotel. If you are staying, make sure you attend the buffet breakfast, the options are wonderful!

Just finished up eating at Mode We purchased the Tomino, Octopus, Celeriac and Polenta Chips Firstly the menu changed from an extensive vegetarian list to only a few options Secondly i don t think i can recommend any of dishes we ordered, all not making much sense or having much flavour, bar the Octopus, which was okay We were also not asked how the dishes went after leaving half of the food on the plates I was expecting a lot more from a high end restaurant such as this

Let s say it has been a long time since i had such good food. My family of 8 had the alar carte dinner ranging from the entree, tenderloin, T-bone steak, barrumudi, cod, octopus, and we are blown away by the amount of effort put into each dish. Each taste and meat is an experience. So good! Wow! Whoa!.. Well done MODE

Wow! Service was amazing, food was equally as amazing. We had the steak which was tender as, tuna crudo was . Highly recommend, will be back.

After reading many of the reviews we decided to dine in when we stayed at the Four Seasons on Sunday night and what an experience. The food was amazing with the Rib Eye our favourite and the service was simply exceptional. Super friendly and helpful staff everywhere all led by Jasper the restaurant manager.

Fabulous food and superb service perfect evening the staff are genuinely attentive and friendly. We will be back !

Excellent breakfast

Welcoming atmosphere, very accommodating staff, original menu options, personalized drinks, unfortunately ground floor so no view

Good food, great staff

Apertivo hour at Mode has to be the best kept secret in Sydney. $30 for a drink and 2 hr Italian snack buffet is very hard to beat.

Amazing service, good food. But not spectacular. More beautiful than bud pleasing.

During my stay at the FS I discovered Mode as it was my daily breakfast place. And what an awesome breakfast buffet with everything imaginable one could want. It was so good that I decided to try it for dinner. Much to my delight, the dinner was also fantastic. My starter was Tasmanian octopus, wood roasted, chick peas, sambal, sea succulents, and my main was the grilled cod with brussel sprouts in a creamy buttermilk dill sauce. And when I said no dessert they brought out house made chocolate truffles that paired well with my Joseph Faiveley Pinot Noir. I will definitely return here when I am back in Sydney.

situated inside the hotel came for $30 happy hour buffet enjoyed the cheeseboard meats - wagyu (favourite ), prosciutto, spicy salami appreciated that there was rock melon & bocconcini to pair with the prosciutto nice selection of cheeses + a big wheel loved the feta salad carb choices were ok, wish there were crackers chose the Bellini cocktail - passable, not sweet as advertised

Good club sandwich though the bread was a little tough. Nice service though no checking on the mean during eating and quite cold to be in.

Wow!! Simple food done incredibly well! Dishan (I apologise if I misread your name tag) was so incredibly friendly, attentive and funny. Made our night! This man is made for customer service. Give this guy a raise! Would love to an employee in our business that has such enthusiasm. We have told all our friends that live in the city to try this place and can t wait to be back.

The appetizer meal for $30 was great, I was very filling, and the staff was friendly. However, the music was too loud and noisy. It would be better if it was changed to piano music.

We tried the Aperitevo menu served 4-6. It had the finest charcuterie and cheeses with a cocktail of choice. We were very pleased with all including the service.

We had Truffle menu last night, Food was beyond than the price and the service was so amazing from Catharine(if I m wrong name). For sure we will pass our experience to our friends as well.

The Appetivo Hour between 4-6pm was perfect for a little birthday nibble and drink. The staff were absolutely lovely and made me feel very special. The antipasto was AAAAAMAZING!!!! I can t wait to come back x

Incredible Truffle degustation experince, great service and good value of products... The manager and staffs were lovely and gave detailed descriptions of each meal. My partner and I are a truffle lover and we love every single dish on the menu.. They were delicious & delightful presentation. Highly Recommend!

The food was okay. The t-bone took really long and tasted dry.

The service is dismal at reception, the staff took so long pleasing a white customer and since I was asian I had to wait for so long. Pathetic. My first taste of racism in Australia came from here. Lost all my appetite from the beginning. The staff at reception should be changed but the rest of the staff seemed fine. There are better places in Sydney without white preferential treatment at the reception. This is a must avoid.

I had a good time in this restaurant Monday-Fridays from 4-6pm and $30 for an all you can eat buffet menu and one free drink kind wine and cocktail etc I satisfied with the service and atmosphere Thanks so much

Lovely ambience, nice cocktail selections, loved the whiskey sour. So refreshing

Popped in for dinner beverages. Friendly service and nice interior.

Their Aperitivo buffet + a choice of drink on Mon-Fri from 4-6pm (which I believe runs until 15/12/2023, otherwise please check website or with venue to confirm) is such an amazing deal !! I went here with a few friends & we all really enjoyed this , including a friend who doesn t drink alcohol & eat meat! I tried a bit of everything, and can confirm they were all yum & excellent quality ! My fave was the Prosciutto, Stracciatella cheese, and Watermelon, Tomato & Feta Salad. Lovely service too by all the staff, I ll def come back either for the Aperitivo or a drink

This is a contemporary Australian cuisine restaurant located on the first floor of the Four Seasons Hotel. Perhaps it was just the dishes I chose, but the dishes I was served were inspired by Japanese cuisine and ingredients. Toothfish, which I chose as my main dish, is served with dashi soup right in front of me. The taste of the soup stock has an ethnic flavor, so it was quite different from the taste of Japanese cuisine, and it was a strange dish. Iceberg Salad wasnt what I expected from the name, but it was a salad with sesame dressing and furikake, and it had a taste that Japanese people are very familiar with (so it didnt feel special). It was refreshing to be able to eat these dishes at a restaurant that is not a Japanese restaurant. (October 2023)

I struggled with my rating as the food was tasty but the service was horrible. I m staying at the four seasons and the service has been phenomenal so I was quite surprised with the lack there of at the restaurant. Breakfast service great, dinner service not so much. The breakfast buffet has a great variety and they open pretty early 6:30, which is great if you have an early morning tour planned. I had reservations at another restaurant but was feeling exhausted and just didn t want to go far, so we decided to eat at the hotel s restaurant Mode. We opted to sit at the bar, which gives me a great view for people watching. The bar tender did not greet us nor was he attentive. I may have given a pass if the bar was full but it wasn t. A waitress took our drink and food order once we had sat for a while, so thank you for that. The bar tender seemed more interested in showing off his overly loud and non impressive shaking of drinks then tending to guests. The food was great! I had the romaine salad, which is literally just romaine but the dressing was fantastic and made this simple dish fantastic. I also had the crudo, which was delicious as well. The citrus and apple contrast was phenomenal and the portion size was just right. We also had a fish that I can t remember the name of that was paired with mustard greens and a broth poured over. The fish was light with a crispy skin and paired very well with the mustards. Drink wise I d stick with simple, it will save you a couple of bucks and just a better option in my opinion. I had a Hendricks and tonic $14 and then an expresso martini $27. My spouse had an old fashioned $26, which includes a single shot but could have gotten a double whiskey neat or on a block for the same price. All in all I was thoroughly disappointed with the service but enjoyed the meal. Just to show how inattentive the bartender was, after waiting forever we walked to the hostess to ask for the check. Thank you bartender Hi (that s their name) your service needs some work

Its amazingggg!!!! Appetising food, good variety for vegetarians, and mentioning Halal would be great for Muslim guests. Brownie points to hotel manager, Mr. Kartik and chef siddesh, who takes care of your customised requests. The sitting is not very vibrating no sun light and dim lights give it a vibe of dinner. Rest, everything is spot on!!

So happy we chose to eat here last night. We absolutely enjoyed everything that we chose! A special shout out to Dilshan our waiter for the night, he was pleasant, knowledgeable and extremely attentive without being obtrusive and fake! All the dishes were delicious but the highlights would have to be the toothfish with the pour over broth, the woodfire octopus that was soooo tender it almost melted in my mouth and the Wagyu skewers! Overall very impressive if you enjoy fine dining and want to get quality for your money.

Good foods

Lovely food. Still hungry

Prawns are not impressive. Just salty

I have been here with friends & family members a few times and it s always been very satisfying.Definitely a FIVE-food,customer service & the atmosphere.Highly recommended Note:Please call the restaurant for the menu coz it might be changed.

Just had the most delicious happy hour snack at MODE Kitchen Bar. The food was absolutely amazing and the customer service was on point. From the friendly staff to their prompt service, it was a wonderful dining experience. Highly recommend checking them out for some tasty bites and great customer service! #HappyHourDelights

Group booking at Chefs Table on a Saturday night to celebrate a birthday. Took 2 course meal option plus 2 cakes. Service leading up to event was excellent, and largely happy with food and service (thank you Adan). They prepared for my vegetarian guests. Few little things took score lower - think they were a bit understaffed on evening, hard to track service down when wanted, had to ask for some things like drinks fir kids twice, messages from booking and pre-night communications appeared to not be passed on (like wine selection and no fruit alternative for desert), cakes delivered without knives to cut, and felt that the connection with Chefs that had expected from website description was not delivered on...I had people at table who would have loved to have known how some dishes were prepared. If you like greens, you will need to order these in addition - not provided as sides, and really only added as garnishes to meal. I dont expect perfection, but for the price paid, just a bit better. The ambient sound was not too loud, so could have conversations without shooting. Vegetarian options: Had veggy and fish eaters, and they were happy.

Four of us decided to eat at the hotel as we were. staying there. All agreed that the food was ok at best...with two people having to revert to spaghetti bolognese...which apparently was a chefs special; it certainly was not. Several reviews have commented on the fact they were still hungry afterwards and we felt the same. The service is marked higher as our waiter was honest enough to chase us down as we left a 100 on the seat. Atmosphere, well Im not sure there was any. Overrated for a 5* hotel, which we all agreed. Vegetarian options: available for one. of your party Dietary restrictions: available for one of our party

Amazing service, great drinks and such a perfectly cooked and lean steak. Great fine dining experience. Thank you guys so much!

The entree was so disappointing, I had a tomato tart that was served cold, I had 3 mouthfuls and could not finish it. Not my cup of tea. I do not eat seafood so options were very limited. I voiced my disappointment at the time of paying the bill when the waitress asked how the food was; however did not seem to care much. Main was much better, hubby and I shared eye fillet which was really nice, so I ll give two stars just for the main. Unfortunately I do not recommend and won t be returning to Mode.

Food is fresh and refreshing, no overbearing taste for any we ordered. The lobsters of spaghetti are bite-size and flavourful, spaghetti is just the right consistency. My favourite of these is the Glacier 51 tooth fish - Crispy skin, preserved fat under-layer and juicy flesh all in one bite! Would highly recommend ~

Amazing restaurant with a sophisticated feel. Staff were really friendly! Thank you for making my partner s birthday memorable. Food was great, simple menu. Would definitely come back for the experience.

I came here for dinner tonight. I had the pavlova for dessert, duck breast and and risotto. I would prefer if the serving size was bigger.

One of the best restaurants I have been to. T-bone steak is unforgettable!

We had the degustation tonight to celebrate a friend s birthday. It was really the best degustation that we have had for a while. Ingredients used were fresh and the service was excellent. Thank you Mode Kitchen & Bar.

I went for breakfast on Monday the 24th at 8am. The food was good as expected from a 5 star hotel. The host and our section waitress was exceptional! I think her name was Jasmine? She was so attentive and professional. She constantly refiled our glasses, checked if everything was okay and cleared the plates really fast. She has a lovely attitude.

My family and I had my baby shower here followed with a beautiful high tea. Staff were excellent, very happy and accommodating. Will definitely be back

We selected the Degustation Menu and were very impressed. Each item brought to our table was elegant and extremely delicious, complimenting each other perfectly. Spoilt yourselves and visit this amazing restaurant. The staff are gloriously professional and friendly, they know their dishes and importantly for us, Covid safe. Cant wait until the Autumn Degustation Menu ... we will be back.

Service was very poor. We had pre paid for the set menu and were then presented with a bill that tried to charge us again for the pre payment.

There are much better places in Sydney for fine foods. Service was 4/10 - kept taking menus away and 10 mins wait to get one back to order drinks, repeatedly. Food 4/10 - Truffle rissoitto, used long grain rice and reheated, steak asked for med/rare it was well done. Their desserts are nice but it wasnt enough to justify a poor experience - and not to mention the $9 credit card fee.

First time tried but really impressed with their food ,but the one I like the most are chocolate mousse and king prawn . Love the chocolate mousse so much

Special thanks to Michael, Sayani and Akhil for making us feel right at home. 6 star service at a 5 star hotel. The Four Seasons should be proud to have such stellar employees working here. Bravo to all three employees.

Flavour bombs from the get go. Dont forget the iceberg lettuce

Enjoyed our dining experience here. We had the Degustation menu, the staff and chef was very accomodating with our dietary requirements and swaps and also gave us a complimentary dessert for the birthday.

Scrumptious entree dishes particularly their wagyu skewers and roasted zucchini flowers

Lovely food and the staff are incredible. Thank you to Yvonne who served us for lunch and breakfast. If you want a fresh coffee and poached eggs in minutes this is the place to go. Is a bit on the expensive side but it is a five star hotel so you expect that going in. Thank you.

I just went to Mode today with my friend for my dinner. First of all, we need to wait a bit long to have attention from waiter and have water. But overall, we can understand since we know she just worked there around 1 month. She was very friendly and nice. For drink, not really special for cocktails. But I enjoyed my Moscato wine from recommendation of sommelier. For food, breads were dry and hard to eat. Entrees were oke with scallop, king prawn and pumkin. Main included duck breast ( not really flavoured), tenderloin ( tender and fat) with some sides were polenta chips and iceberg (recommend this salad) Finish with four deserts, but the best for me was Ile Flottante poached meringue, vanilla anglaise, almond & caramel.

Went with my family for dinner, food was average but most underwhelming customer service and experience. Our waiter changed continuously, the menu was not explained properly and there was no attention to details. The atmosphere was also not great and overall dining experience was not enjoyable.

Went with colleagues here for a few quick drinks as we were all staying at Four Seasons. Service was non existent. Took 40 minutes to get a menu and another 40 to get waitress attention. Spent 2 hours there and could only order one cocktail (which was mediocre). Don t recommend.

What a dining experience for 1. I was welcomed wholeheartedly by the wait staff and offered a different table to the one I initially had been set due to being more suited to a party of one. I highly recommend trying some of the cocktails that are a bit out of the ordinary. If I could cook duck as well as what they did my life would be so much more fulfilled. Rich flavours that all complimented each other

I was staying at Four Seasons during Vivid festival. We had an amazing dinner at Mode Kitchen! Everything including the service was outstanding. Frozen Pavlova wow! As a vegetarian I was very pleased with so many options to pick from. Definitely one of my favorite places to visit. Thank you to Jasper who made our night so special. Natalia K.

The food is fantastic and presentation is impeccable. The ambiance of the restaurant is expected from a fine dining restaurant in a five star hotel. The staff could be a lot more attentive or enthusiastic about their job considering we were almost the only large group of 10 in the restaurant dining. We always had to flag them down for more drinks and a couple mood lights in the restaurant needed the bulbs replaced as a couple people couldn t see what they were eating. For the price point I could recommend other options in the vicinity.

We visited for a family celebration for the buffet breakfast. We weren t staying at the hotel so glad we were welcomed. There was so much on offer from middle eastern, Asian, English breakfast, lots of pastries and cakes, and much more. Also eggs and omelettes to order and barista coffee. Service was excellent, as you would expect for a 5 star hotel. Price was $50 for adults and $25 for kids which I thought was reasonable given the quality and variety. Interior is spacious and very classy. Would definitely come again.

Food was great. Caught one waiter licking his nose but he didn t handle our food.

Great atmosphere and attentive customer service. The food was OK.

One of the best meat I ve ever had took one minute to get and good service. One of the best restaurants I ve been to amazing. Everything was spot on!

Had the high tea here as a group and the service was very good. However the high tea food and drink it self wasnt that nice. Firstly my earl grey tea wasnt nice nor aromatic like what earl grey is normally like. The scones were delicious but the sweets and pastry wasnt very nice overall.

Great truffle selection. Otherwise, decent food and ok service.

Good quality of food, no much variety,, service is 3/5.

Had a wonderful experience. Dilshan was a great server will be back again :)

Absolutely delicious food and outstanding service. Highly recommend.

Was searching for pavlova dessert in Sydney and found the reviews for this place to have the most amazing pavlovas. They were not wrong and lived up to expectations. Will hopefully come back in the future and try out the full menu. Highly recommend the pavs as you cant go wrong. The service was also great and staff were attentive and friendly.

We were able to get a late reservation on a Saturday night last minute. Dilshan was an amazing, amazing waiter. He made our night memorable and highly enjoyable. Best service on the trip to Sydney so far! Recommend the steak tartare which was full of flavour. The scallops were also amazing. Fresh and vibrant.

Nice food. The cocktail and mocktail are nice . Fresh dishes and comfortable atmosphere

Had dinner there. The staff was great, very welcoming. The kids loved it too. The food was good. Meat perfectly cooked (i asked for blue). Wine was great too.

Good service, food was nice. And it was served very quick. Loved their rib eye

I dined here last week after seeing some posts online of their desserts, so I very much looked forward to the night. While some dishes, such as the tenderloin with jus and scallops crudo, were stars of the evening, unfortunately some dishes fell short. Drinks took far too long to be served and I was served flat champagne which was only replaced after an insistent prompt and it arrived significantly after we finished the entrees they were meant to be served with. The chocolate tart was served without the chocolate disk so this again had to be replaced with an insistent prompt. As an establishment that markets themselves as a fine dining option, there were some faux pas that could have easily been avoided and I am confident if they slightly reduced their pricing to match their offerings and were more attentive with other areas of their dining experience they would be a much more sought after option. However, as it stands, and after spending $450 for two people, I am unfortunately reluctant to dine here again.

Beautiful food. Rather posh. Staff a bit overwhelming.

Nice atmosphere, delicious food, good service. A bit pricey for what you get.

We dined and drank cocktails. Dishan was exceptional with his service and table side manner! He helped make it a wonderful night even better!!! Would highly recommend and commend Dishan!!!

Fantastic service from the front-of-house team, especially thank Allan and two polite and professional female team members, who I forgot their names, who took care of us, and also delicious food. We will be back here again.

Dined here as we arrived on a public holiday. Friendly staff. Food was fresh and amazing.

Went for hightea as usual. The food and services was great, staff were so friendly & attentive when ww asked to change table. We did a hightea set and a tiramisu with cocktails, which was super delicious, especially the lemon tart come in the set. My partner was in love with the cocktail recommended by the bartender Hi(??), which was citrusy but I guess its a perfect match for someone who doesn t have a sweet tooth like him. Mine was beautifully fruity and fresh. Unfortunately I dont remember the names of any of these, but highly recommended!

I had pre-paid the afternoon tea experience for my Sydney trip ahead of time once they confirmed that they were able to cater high tea for for one person. Generally, high teas are for a minimum of 2 people. Eloise the waitsperson was friendly and knowledgeable with the tea selection. Along with her counterparts, they were very attentive and checked in from time to time. Quick to re-fill my pot of tea. The savoury and sweet morsels were petite and delicious. Scones were recommended for devouring first. It wasnt dry/crumbly but arrived warm, a bit of crunch on the edges and softness in the centre. The classic egg sandwich but with white truffle was definitely fragrant. The lemon tart is favoured as the last bite for the tang. Would come again to try the other seasonal menus.

Food was good, but more about presentation than leaving you full and satisfied. The restaurant was half full but waited 30 minutes to receive my meal and after completion, another 15-20 minutes to receive my check where there was adequate staff.

It was great! There is a vegetarian menu with a lot of options. The food is so special and delicious! Vegetarian options: A different menu for vegetarians

We were very excited to go to Mode. Flavour of the food was great but the portion of food was abysmal for the price you are paying. $46 for a small steamed cod fish with sauce and lettuce? I don t think so! My husband has the pasta with the crab. While it was good, the amount of crab on the pasta was so small it was disappointing for him too. The setting of the restaurant was nice but had poor lighting. Felt disappointed afterwards and wish we went somewhere else that was more affordable or was worth the money. Won t be going again.

I booked this restaurant as a surprise for my partner and his friends. Ms Wezeman at the Four Seasons couldn t be more helpful, accomodating and responsive to all my queries. The gentleman greatly enjoyed their dinner, the four course menu was a great suggestion. The gentleman especially loved the Black Angus Tenderloin MB 4+ and the Coconut and Mango Pavlova. All steaks were cooked to their personal tastes, compliments to the chefs. Thank you Ms Wezeman for helping with the surprise and celebrating this special occasion. I would highly recommend this restaurant and visiting Grain Bar after for whisky and cocktails.

The food was nice! Service was good, although they charge $6 for a top up of tap water and include a service charge in the bill then ask would you like to leave a tip ... I ll no be back !! P.s restaurant looked smart

Great restaurant in a lovely setting inside the 4 Seasons Hotel. Staff are friendly and responsive, generous wine pours and great food. Would highly recommend the signature T-bone.

Tried Mode Kitchens new high tea menu over the weekend and was blown away by the taste, technique, service and experience. A laid back and highly personal experience from 2pm to 430. The food was extremely well balanced in terms of flavour. The savoury bites were very unique in flavour and combination. Each item blended well, at a glance the bites looked small but the flavours were huge. - The smoked salmon sandwich highlighted the smokey flavour of the salmon, taste of the bread was very subtle such that the emphasis on the fish was the focus. - the Vol au vent was pastry mastery with a well blended lemon cream interior. The most impressive texture and flavour of pastry. The sweet bites were just right in terms of sweetness, where no item was overly sweet but pockets of sweetness, texture and some tangy elements combined for a complex and delicate bite. - the mini pear being a highlight of the sweets, was a visual marvel with a gentle green white chocolate exterior and a burst of pear mouse and a hint of vanilla in the interior. - the scones were amazingly well balanced with a firm but soft crust exterior and a buttery crumbling interior. The cotted cream and raspberry jam was unique and blended together amazingly with the scone. The combination of scone is a must try. As a whole every item on the menu was flawless and expressed exactly the flavour it was trying to achieve. The tea available on offer were high quality and flavours were more traditional, great with the food and not trying to be too adventurous in terms of flavour. What topped up the experience was that the the pastry chef Elliot would personally come to your table to enquire on the experience from the customer and share his vision in creating the food serviced in the high tea. The conversation and his ability to express the techniques used to create the menu was a cooking masterclass experience in itself. The high tea is highly recommended, the menu is far and wide ahead of other high teas tried in Sydney. What I felt in food very much resembled in visual and flavour of what my expectation would be from a pastry chef and head chef were they to create food for a world class showcase. 10/10

Great service but food seemed overpriced for the quantity and quality. Had the Roasted zucchini flowers as starters (not bad), Grilled 200g Black Angus tenderloin and steamed Murray cod fillet as mains (below average), Roasted eggplant and Tasmanian rosemary potatoes as sides (below average) and Frozen Pavlova (great) for dessert. Might go back for the dessert only someday.

Food was absolutely amazing. I could tell ingredients were freshly sourced and of high quality. I was really looking forward to try the desserts and it was really good! The only thing I wish they did better was the FOH service, I wish the waitstaff paid more attention to the customers because there were only a few couple tables during that night we dined and they took quite a long time to get our order and we struggled to get their attention for most of the night. Food and ambiance were great

Dinner was absolutely delicious and breakfast was also delicious.

Me and my friend we went for the fine dining experience at this spectacular restaurant located in heart of Sydney at the Four Seasons Hotel. The level of service is one of the best I have ever experienced and I have nothing to compare with. The food as the pictures depicts was amazing and satisfied my taste palate overall it s 9/10 so it is a must visit.

Amazing dishes

All time favourite and amazing place to eat and enjoy food

Chef Francesco Manelli and his team are doing a fantastic job to create delicious fresh dishes using the best ingredients. I had the duck, which was perfectly cooked and absolutely superb with an orange zest sauce, the side iceberg salad sprinkled with sesame and Furikake. Then Pastry Chef Quentin from France prepared the most delicious Frozen Pavlova: Bravo for the most delicious dinner and special mention to Dilshan who superbly took care of my table and gave me wise advice.

We can come here over and over again. Love it

Nice food slower service

Food wise is not worth the price but ambience is good!

Nice place to hang after dinner. Cheese platter and chocolate tart (cake of day)was so yum!

Food was great, service was terrible

The fish dish was fantastic and the service was wonderful

Eating here was a wait game. We request for menu and water and waited a long time for each course (~30 minutes). Portions are also really small and expensive.

Mode restaurant overcharged is for the entire Bill and refused to refund us the correct amount. Terrible experience.

Food is nicer than service

This is one of the best steaks I ve ever had in my life. Perfectly cooked, seasoned and portioned. A must-try!!

To be completely honest, I didnt have high expectations for a restaurant within a hotel. But after dining here the food was absolutely stunning and will go down as one of the best meals Ive ever had to date. Would definitely dine again.

Enjoyable enough venue, food is very nice. Lacking certain qualities to be considered a fine dining experience though. - Food is expensive given the portions (as lovely as they are). - Chairs are uncomfortable and more suited to casual dining than fine dining. - tap water provided was not chilled. - no fish knife provided when we had the fish of the day. Would I go back? No, do I regret it though? Also No.

Fine dining prices without delivering a fine-dining experience. Food was really good, but the service was poor and lacked polish. Ate there for dinner 2 weeks ago, table of 4 people, only 24 people in the entire restaurant section. Big improvements required in wait-staff training to be worth the cost. Had to ask several times for drinks, we were never asked or offered. Meal-specific cutlery arrived after the meal was on the table, so the food was sitting there while someone rushed off to get steak-knives (I saw this happen to multiple tables). Everything was so unbelievably slow and disjointed. We sat for nearly 20 mins after finishing mains with no drinks or food or attention before I had to ask a waiter to clear the table and offer us the dessert menus. Reading other reviews this seems to have been an issue for quite a while. With so many better places in Sydney at the same price-point , Id pick somewhere else.

We had high tea today for my Birthday back in May - yes it s November - but COVID and all that. So, there was a lot of anticipation, I can tell you. .and I can t say enough about how wonderful the high tea was! The food was yummy and gorgeous to look at. They went out of their way, as I m a Coeliac. The Manager and I had a lovely chat and turns out she s gluten intolerant too. The staff were friendly and helpful. The social distancing was all happening. So, it was a relaxing and enjoyable arvo all round. We both enjoyed it thoroughly. The complimentary free glass of bubbles went down very nicely too! Thank you Four Seasons, Sydney. It was a long time coming, but today was perfect.

The food was fun to eat, we mostly picked from the entree and starters and had the duck as a main. The duck was a bit chewy but it turns out I didnt cut with the grain. Once cutting with the grain, the duck wasnt as chewy. The atmosphere was not spectacular but thats okay. The highlight of the night was the desert : Frozen green Pavlova, pear, green apple, cucumber & dill $22. It had a theatrical entrance and was quite refreshing! The Iceberg had a tasty dressing. The Zucchini flowers, wood roasted, buffalo ricotta & truffle, fresh peas had welcoming taste and texture.

I really enjoyed my experience here. We booked for a table of 6 and were seated on a rectangular table. If you had 6 or more, you would probably get the round table which I thought was better. Restaurant - Warm and inviting. Modern, classic and simply beautiful. Although it is a semi opened restaurant & bar located inside the Four Seasons Hotel, it still felt private. Food - We chose everything on the entrée and it did not disappoint. The Hiramasa Kingfish was definitely my favourite out of the 5. Mains - The Risotto was definitely the star from the mains. Full of flavour and simply delicious! The Angus tenderloin was cook perfectly and the chef was nice enough to slice them for us because we were all sharing the platters. Sides - The side were standard however, the Iceberg salad was amazing! Its a salad that you would go back for. Overall - Food was delicious, atmosphere was great and the service was good. Pricing ended up being $107 per person including alcohol (we had 1 bottle of Rose and 1 bottle of White). I would definitely recommend going here for group celebrations.

We had the degustation menu, overall excellent. First 3 dishes came together as an entrée course to share. Lobster spaghettoni & duck breast mains were excellent. Good combination with touch of sour lemon sorbet & chocolate mousse dessert. High level of service with attentive staff.

The food was perfect and the staff was very friendly, especially Tonsay and Fabio! I will definitely go back and explore more of that amazing menu!

An all round great experience. Booking was easy and when I needed to push back by half hour it was accommodated with a smile. The decor and atmosphere is very nice. Service was excellent - not too quick, not too slow and plenty attentive. The food was excellent. Following entrees of lovely polenta chips and zucchini flowers we shared the 1kg steak with some sides - it was too much food for us but it was great quality and lovely flavours.

Please do not eat at this restaurant. Sydney is so full of amazing food and this is not it. Came to Mode with friends for an end of year dinner and nothing was done well. Cocktails were awful, environment worse, and most importantly, the food was a disaster. Two friends had the blue eye travella and glacier 51, both of which were bland and poorly conceived. I had the crab rigatoni which tasted of store bought pasta and mediocre tomato based sauce. For the prices charged ($38 for the pasta, $44 and $45 for the fish) the quality of food served was a travesty. To repeat, please consider dining elsewhere, Mode is not worth a quarter of the price charged and there are many fantastic alternatives throughout the city.

Awful, this is the worst food I have had in the CBD - Please dont go.

you dont fond that type of service very often in Australia..our server was super friendly and ignited our January 1st celebration..wr had a great moment and a exquisite ribeye steak :)

Mode Kitchen and Bar does the full justice to Four Seasons legacy. Great food, great staff and amazing atmosphere. I love their risottos and desserts. Reasonable prices given the quality of food.

Great dining experience; attentive staff and excellent food. Really delicious mocktails and the lamb shoulder was suberb

Food was AMAZING! Service was great. Marissa? (I think was her name) was very entertaining and personable she went above and beyond with our request to have the T-bone steak made from the online picture. We had the Tasmanian Festival and we were able to swap some sides and upgrade our meat selection with a very reasonable rate. Price was good for the portion, service and location. Best meal Ive had in Sydney!

Service, food and wine was excellent. Lovely Hollywood glam decor, seats were very comfortable.

A lovely, quiet restaurant in the Four Seasons Hotel. The food was good and presented very well. Although my Lamb Shoulder was a bit dry, it was presented beautifully, and the rest of my party were highly complimentary of their dishes. The service was also very attentive. Its also interesting to see the inner workings of their open kitchen.

Unfortunately Four Seasons is just off its game lately. Dinner at Mode was really disappointing. This used to be one of my favourite spots and its just missed the mark. The chef texting then touching the food after his dirty phone was a rough start, the tables are old waxy wood like dive bars that could have been covered. The servers either were on their first day or were never taught fine dining service. Empty drinks, no plate removal, just plain indifference. Food was meh, literally every piece of bread was burnt, however the steak was insanely delicious but presented sloppily. Wont go back. Just really expect more from The Four Seasons. Whered your passion go hey?

Good spot.

Reduced from 5 star to 1. Service was disgusting. Late and took hours to be served. Discussed with rude manager who didnt care

Amazing food ! The desserts were the highlight of the night, subtle, fresh.. prefect Would love to see more vegetarian and vegan option. Great dining experience

Very good service

Excellent dining experience, the food, the service. Ordered the oysters, kingfish sashimi (special), rib eye , lamb shoulder and the polenta chips with truffle mayonnaise. All dishes were so delicious.

Food was delicious!!! Service was fantastic. Would definitely come back.

Not sure why this place was highly rated. Visited last night and was impressed by the entree but main was below average and needed salt. The sides were actually disgusting and didnt even bother with dessert

The restaurant is on the ground level of Four Seasons. The decor is a bit dated and the ambiance is of a lobby. The food was very good, but we waited 55min from our arrival to eat it. Service was quite, quite slow, the restaurant seemed understaffed.

This is just the restaurant for the for seasons, is very overpriced for small servings. Pictured meal was $46

Amazing staff, food and specially recommend the frozen pavlova!!!

Great service and amazing food. Hat well deserved.

nice food

We dined at Mode last night as two couples It was not overly busy. It took 2.5 hours to have a 3 course meal. The service was appalling. It took 30mins after sitting down to get a first drink. It took a number of prompts throughout the meal to get service. The cost was around $130 per head. The quality of the food was good but the quantity poor. The men in the group joked about going to McDonalds afterwards ! Need less to say I wouldn t go again. There are much better places in this price range

Food is ok but service very nice and care customers

Really enjoyed my dinner here tonight, the oysters for me were a real standout. I was actually pleasantly surprised how reasonably priced the meals and drinks were. Would certainly come here again when staying At the four seasons. Only slight negative was that the drinks service was not what I would call prompt. Not bad enough to be a huge negative, but the only aspect which held me back from a five star rating.

Went with a couple friends to celebrate my husbands birthday. Absolutely amazing food and amazing service - even provided my husband with dessert on the house for his birthday. I could not recommend Mode Kitchen and Bar any more highly and will definitely be visiting again!

Beautiful food, drinks and great service in a lovely modern / art deco setting

Very much enjoyed our special occasion family dinner with Head Chef Francesco and his team. Excellent food and passionate support from the team though some are still learning. Only suggestion is music was a little loud where we were and open roof to hotel lobby makes it feel less intimate than it might. Would go back.

Overpriced bland Hotel restaurant. Average two hours spent there. We went for our anniversary to celebrate. It started well with the oysters but went downhill from there. My starter came 10 mins later, the sauv Blanc we had to go with it was average. The mains took over an hour to arrive after we entered. When we enquired why they told us they were having a busy night but failed to mention to us our courses would be late. Poor customer and impersonal service if you are charging $49 for a main. They did apologise and offered us a free desert and tea but by then the damage was done. I would have walked out but as it was a special occasion it wasn t worth it. I couldn t get out of there quick enough. The next day I regretted paying the full amount. For the hassles it wasn t worth the free desert and a hot drink.

Excellent!

Unbelievable dining experience at Mode. Exceptional food and service by our waiter Alex and Restaurant Manager Fabio. Our best dining experience in Aussie. Congratulations to chef and staff fir an awesome night.

Food was great however even though it was fairly empty,staff was very lax. Took a while to get drinks and to get their attention hence the 1 star deduction

Good food. Great Service. Nice ambience

Food and service are absolutely phenomenal - highly recommend the rib eye. Not the first time tasting their rib eye and I can guarantee that this dish is always perfect. Drinks menu consists of a range of variety to complement the food. Atmosphere is warm and inviting, with an open kitchen and very very friendly staff. Another memorable night, definitely recommend for any occasions, also perfect for festive season.
