Dillon Reece
Stylish, classic, subdued elegance with a sophisticated appeal. The menu & its presentation is refined eloquence well priced in today’s ever increasing cost of living. Special thanks to Junior who took exceptional care of my partner & I. We thoroughly enjoyed every aspect of our visit to this fine restaurant. The food was simply stunning.

I thought to try this place and to do a sparkling taste. It was definitely worth it. The staff were friendly and helpful. It was quiet to just sit down and relax. Their menu for food was substantial as well. The view was nice, too, from an elevated area. I truly recommend trying this place. You won't regret it.

Perfect for lunch. Relaxed atmosphere. Mia was friendly and professional. Patient and checked in on us. Fast but not fussy service. We were left alone for the most part to enjoy our stay.

Whilst the food at Reign is pretty good, i do feel they need to up the ante with the wine service. Thought i would treat my mum to a boxing day glass of Fleury blanc de noir, where at $42 a glass the least i expect is the bubbles to be poured at the table, presenting the bottle? This was by passed for my two glasses of wine too, with the glasses just turning up from the dispense bar. With the total bill at $254.15 for two (including 15% public holiday surcharge) I really feel a little let down by the wine service. Kinda felt like they thought we were tourists and not worth the extra mile, while the table next to us had the full pouring experience at the table.

I had the pleasure of dining at Reign at the QVB this week whilst visiting Sydney. Of course the champagne 🍾 was fabulous 🥂 but I was pleasantly surprised with the gluten free (coeliac safe) meal I enjoyed! Oysters with raspberry vinaigrette (beneath the mist), confit of salmon and divine asparagus. Beautifully presented and the manager ensured my meals were coeliac safe. Highly recommended!🥂🥂🥂
