Easily top 5 favorite restaurants in Sydney. The staff were attentive/helpful, the vibes were high, and the food was amazing. We had: - Potato Mochi (a must try) - Snapper Crudo (fresh!) - Pork Jowl (fatty as you’d expect - great flavor) - Murray Cod (omg - best cook I’ve been had on a fish. Crispy skin and yet perfectly cooked, juicy, and scrumptious green sauce) - Conchiglie Pasta (unique and yet a warm, home-cook feel) Cocktails on fire! We also did a sake tasting and took the recommendations of our awesome waitress. Cannot wait to go back!

Such a cool spot in Newtown! Recommend getting there early as it’s walk-in only. We had to wait over an hour for a seat, but given there are so many options around Newtown for a pre dinner drink it was all good! They text when the table is available, making it easy. We had the ceviche and potato mochi to start - interesting and unique flavours with a flair of Japanese fusion. The stand out dish was the Tagliatelle with shiitake mushrooms, so much depth and umami. Super cocktail menu too - I had a penicillin with Japanese whisky 🥃 very different with a smoky finish. All in all, a great meal and rememberable experience!

The food was mostly good. The fried potato mochi was chewy and a mixture of both sweet and salty. The sandwich was pretty good. But the highlight of the dinner was the prawn casarecce. It was so good, full of umami with a hint of citrus flavor, which I guess from yuzu. The vibe was insane, and everybody was having a good time.

Incredible experience and so delightful. A great place to learn about sake and if you get Rebecca (Bec) to serve you, consider yourself very fortunate and lucky. She is so knowledgeable and paired us with our own type of sakes for the flight and it made it very memorable. The food was delicious and went beautifully with our drinks. The ambiance was awesome with music just right volume to encourage conversation and it was LPs (need I say more). Will be coming back for more!

Amazing experience at ANTE, the food, the service, the drinks, and the subtle music while dining. 10/10 experience! Would recommend the shiitake tagliatelle. If you’re into it, you can also ask for a sake tasting and they’ll select 3 different types of sake for you to try.
