AUD 39Guest notes
Ambience, service, martinis, and table-side theatre.
Gowings is at its best when the dining room, open kitchen, and bar are all part of the same night out.
A CBD happy hour worth knowing: martinis, creamy oysters, escargot, and the right window for a pre-dinner visit.

Cocktails and oysters
The set menu felt confident and well paced, with warm service that gave each dish room to land.
Danielle Rosales
Set menu
The Art Deco setting, sommelier guidance, shared pizzetta, table-carved striploin, rabbit pappardelle, and duck fat potatoes made dinner feel like a full evening.
