Oncore by Clare Smyth Barangaroo Reviews from The Last Year
Culinary Sensation
One word WOW. We first saw Clare Smyth as a guest on Australian Masterchef. So it was a no brainer to make reservations when we decided to visit Sydney. The restaurant is beautifully laid out with stunning views of the Opera House, the Bridge and the restaurant’s Kitchen. The staff were friendly and accommodating regarding dietary requirements. They were informative regarding the dishes and wine twinning. All the dishes were delicious - but the highlight was the dessert Core-teser which was sublime - thought I had died and awoke in Chocolate Heaven But if I had one criticism - it would be some of the plating accessories as I am not sure what they bring to the dish and sometimes made it difficult to eat the main attraction - the food
Perfection to the core
This was my birthday dinner and was probably one of the very best experiences of my life after Ducasse in Hotel Athenée Paris a few years back. The location is formidable with views of Sydney Harbour and almost 360° all around and the furnishings are warm and welcoming with a modern twist with shiny steel columns. The service is undescribably perfect in every sense of the word. The set menu was superb. Each plating presentation was a work of art in itself and almost a shame to devour if it weren't all even more delightful and delicious than the presentation itself. Everything timed to perfection. There is nothing out of place or not organized. When we go back to Sydney we'll certainly go back.
The best restaurant I have been to
The best restaurant I have ever been to. Service was amazing, view spectacular, music playlist was fun and the food was incredible
Average
A little bit disappointed. The + : The restaurant is beautiful. Open kitchen is amazing. We got the best view overlooking the bridge and Sydney opera house. Food is tasty and look flawless. Service is discreet. The - : We arrive and waited 20mn in the bar. Then, we moved to the restaurant and waited another 10/10 mn (only one table in the restaurant except us). They rushed us at the end, not pleasant, to get the table back even though we ate quite fast. Nobody ask “how was everything?” “Do you need a taxi?” “Any favorite course?” They just gave us the bill, make us pay, and bye. It was my boyfriend birthday, the receptionist asked us and we told her, we saw they told something to the table next to us during dessert about a birthday, but not our table. It looked too busy. Waiting staff great but asking us questions and not looking/ listening for the answers, they were looking at the door or other tables all the time. You don’t feel very comfortable. The service was average, not personalised, very robotic. Food was very tasty, but nothing special. Bread tasty but very simple. Petits fours were very bad.
Must go Place in Sydney
Fine Dining with view of Opera Hse and Harbour Bridge at level 26 of Crown Towers Sydney. Ordered the 7 course seasonal menu for A$395. Superb. Well worth the money. Comes with a complimentary entree.
Fantastic night out with our best meal ever!
If you have a really special occasion then this is the place to go, from the moment you enter the building you are made to feel special. You are greeted as you get off the lift and you even get to say hello to the chefs in the open kitchen, showing you to the table we were thrilled as we had a window seat with gorgeous views of the harbour bridge and the opera house!!! We had the tasting menu which was amazing from start to finish, the core apple and core teaser were works of art, everybite of food was finished to such a high standard and the attention to detail WOW. Every member of staff was so lovely and there’s no stuffiness at all in this restaurant, always ready for a chat after they described the food which was great. Lovely service, lovely food and we being from the UK love the fact that Claire has made her mark in Australia too 👏👏🎉🎉
Fine dining at an exorbitant price
The menu was fair not spectacular for the price asked ! I felt disappointed by the whole experience
Tasteless in passion, creativity and service. Underwhelming, overrated to say the least.
My recount on some of the highlights below: Ambience of the restaurant was that it was far too noisy, wasn’t able here ourselves and also the waiters explaining the food clearly - very hard to hear, mostly unable to capture it. To further add to this ambience, complete overload of staff. Very much unnecessary when they would just casually talk to each other doing nothing. Too many people just walking around the small area that it seems - quite disproportionate. Everyone in the kitchen and working in the floor just looked stressed, tired, unhappy which all contributed to hindering our enjoyment of the food. Serving etiquette for a place like this, expected much much better. Sometimes serving female members on the table last when they should be served first - very inconsistent throughout the night which was not helped by different waiters (of varying experience) managing our table. Bread served was cold. Not the norm that I’d expect. Even in airplanes you get warm bread - doesn’t give me the sense of freshness and the effect of having the butter melt on the bread. Going back to inconsistency in staff experience, there was one time a waiter had almost forgot to explain one of the dishes for a guest (as he’d ordered a different set menu). Again, something that I wouldn’t expect for such a restaurant’s reputatIon I’ve read about. On top of all this, the waiters seemed to be rote learning the menus - instead of addressing us and talking to us about the dish we were served, they addressed someone in “mid-air”, eyes looking up as if reading from a teleprompter, very strange. Sauce pouring was very inconsistent, some guests receiving a noticeably greater amount or a lesser amount. Simply distorts the whole experience, very unacceptable for a restaurant 3 hatted. Wiping the table seems to be all an “act” from the staff. Every time they came to supposedly wipe off crumbs/spillovers - they always seem to keep missing the actual crumbs. If you have 2 eyes, you should use them. You should consider coming here if you want to try the most expensive potato. It’s not a gratin but simply a whole single potato that isn’t even complete (both top and bottom cut off), garnished with some caviar. There is a significant problem when everyone on the table just talks about the sauce/gravy only. One of the desserts called Lemonade and Honey, was quite sour. Unable to the honey and overall reminded me of the honey lemon flavoured Strepsils. Another dessert was their signature ‘Core Apple’. Mine came with a bit of dent on the surface and the bottom of it was not cleanly covered, but rather jagged. This was inconsistent compared to others that got served the same dish - accuracy to detail is not there. Whilst serving the final course, being the petit four, one of the waiters dropped one of the wine jelly balls on the floor. When leaving, one of the waiters brought our jackets we wore. She only brought 3 of them and we needed to remind her that we had 2 more… For a restaurant of this calibre in a 6 star hotel, do we need to remind them? Very disappointed in this experience! As someone who has been to some of the Top 50 restaurants in the world, Oncore across food and service fell significant below par, inconsistent. Will not go again nor will I recommend someone to go unless significant changes considered. Came to give it chance but sadly my thoughts also echo the thoughts from several of our friends who have come here before.
Could have been good but ended up a with a sour taste...
Food was good and the service was also good on the day. However the restaurant did not respect dietary requirements and I was extremely disappointing in their response when this was brought to their attention- they very simply and easily could have shown that they took responsibility for their lack of care on the day. Would expect this of any restaurant, let alone one of this calibre. Pity as the staff seemed very nice and the views beautiful.

Transferring reservations is not supported in AT. Why not just use the name in the AT screenshot?

Agreed. Ultimately not addressing this month after month is clearly resulting in a drop in certain venue’s rankings & sales.

Need to cancel a bid, not getting a response… how do I do it? |
Click on "Take off the Market Option" in your portfolio
Working on your bid? |
Your bid has been “matched” with a reservation. From the time a reservation has been located, the seller of the reservation must connect with moderator to give transfer information for reservation. If the seller;however, does NOT respond to reservation transfer, then your bid is reprocessed and returns to the first step, which is connecting your request to a reservation.
Process after bid is accepted. |
Hey @EvocativeFold67, welcome to appointmenttrader! Once the reservation is in your portfolio, you definitely own the timeslot, the review team would not have approved the trade if the reservation wasn't confirmed - so you are going :-) Judging from your post you bid today and are going tomorrow - don't worry as long as you initiated the name transfer, you are good - the transfer service has to work with the opening hours of the reservation team of the respective venue. You will likely see the transfer confirmation a couple hours before your reservation time.
Where do the Reservations on AppointmentTrader come from? |
Mostly from people who don't need their reservations or appointments any longer. AT has no relationship with places listed and acts as a platform connecting buyers and sellers making sure that listed reservations are real and that privacy is not compromised when transacting.
What happens if my bid expires unanswered? |
Hey @FluffyStar64, thanks for the question! When you place your bid the amount gets transferred in a deposit account, the second you either cancel your bid or a few minutes after the bid expires the funds are moved back into your main account from where you can refund it to your payment method or use for other transactions.
Payouts
Anyone know how increase payout transfer to bank as I can only send $50 a day and they charge $5 for every transaction. There must be a way. I’ve contacted support two days ago and not a reply.

I have some reservations coming up tomorrow that have gotten lots of views but haven’t sold yet. I haven’t made a sale yet since I just joined this week. I keep lowering the price, but am worried they won’t sell. How long did it take you to sell your first reservations? And did you have success being reimbursed by AT for no-show or cancellation fees? Just looking for a little reassurance. Thanks!
