Other published opinions

Courier Mail Food and Wine Guide 2009 Queensland "Greg Doyle fusses over the seafood that enters his kitchen long before it gets there: how they're caught and killed is as important to him as how they're cooked"

Sydney Morning Herald Good Food Guide 2009 Score: 15.5/20, One Hat "This must be one of the best views and best food you'll find while perched on a Sydney barstool. Calming grey and white tones leave you to focus on the water from the long white bench in Pier's converted foyer"

Sydney Morning Herald Good Food Guide 2009 Score: 18/20, Three Hats "It's easy to see why there has been nothing but applause for chef Greg Doyle's shrine to the sea. Awash with nautical tones, the elegant room struts the length of a pier, jutting into Rose Bay and displaying stunning harbour views from every well-dressed table"

Gourmet Traveller 2009 Australian Restaurant Guide Score: *** "There's more to Pier's appeal than seafood, but it takes up the bulk of the menu and is clearly the kitchen's passion. Grant King and Katrina Kanetani, chef-owner Greg Doyle's lieutenants, have broadened Pier's horizons"

Sydney Morning Herald Good Food Guide 2008 Score: 15.5/20, One Hat "If it's designed to seduce you into the charms of Pier, then the Tasting Room works marvellously well. If you consider a few bite-sized dishes of exquisite food the ideal meal, stay right by the entrance and leave the main room for another day"

Sydney Morning Herald Good Food Guide 2008 Score: 18/20, Three Hats "The French call it terroir, that special something the surrounding geography brings to a great wine. Pier does the equivalent for some of Australia's (and sometimes the world's) finest fish, lovingly cared for and cooked with precision"

Gourmet Traveller 2008 Australian Restaurant Guide Score: *** "Pier by name, pier by nature, this narrow, attractive room juts out int beautiful Rose Bay"

Sydney Morning Herald Good Food Guide 2007 Score: 16/20, Two Hats "If you're wondering what L'Atelier Joel Robuchon in Paris would be like on the other side of the world and by the water, Pier Tasting Room is the answer. The baby brother to Greg Doyle's seafood fine diner is a front room corridor of just two fixed tables and a long bench and bar stools overlooking moored boats."
