We stopped for lunch in the city on a rainy Saturday and received a warm welcome. We enjoyed good service from a window seat. I ordered a chicken salad and my husband had the scotch fillet with Paris mash. Both meals were tasty, although a bit more mash with the steak would have been nice. For dessert, we enjoyed profiterols with ice cream and chocolate sauce, which were also scrumptious!
The oysters did not disappoint. They were so delicious, we ordered a second round. The server was knowledgeable, friendly and attentive. We also shared the crab cake. It was full of crab and served on a supper yummy sauce. I especially liked it because it wasn’t full of onions or other fillers. A lovely surprised was the Smokey Whiskey Sour cocktail. 🥃 OMG. It was perfect. What you expect from a speak easy, hidden cocktail bar. Highly recommend. I’ll come back for that drink and oysters any day. Click on the photos to see what we ordered. 📸
Wow what an amazing place! We had some of the best oysters I have ever had in my life here! They were something like I have never tasted. The fish and chips were god tier and they give you a lot of food for what you pay! Well worth it! I really enjoyed the ambiance and the service was great as well! I definitely recommend checking this place out if you are in Sydney!
Morrison’s was interesting. It was so so busy and loud it was almost impossible to have a conversation. The service was very disappointing. I ordered 2 cocktails and it took an hour to arrive. They said the bar was backed up or the system crashed but it took a very very long time. The waiters were lovely though and offered to put the drinks on the house as we were waiting so long. Due to how busy it was it also took us 20 minutes to flag down a waiter to order food. We were there for the 1 hour happy hour oysters so felt like some of the time was taken up trying to get a waiters attention. The food also took a long time to arrive but once it did we were happy. Oysters did not disappoint, fresh and tasty! The chips were also delicious. Overall, food was good, service and atmosphere a little disappointing.
I’m not an oyster person. My partner, on the other hand, could eat them for breakfast, lunch, and dinner. So when her cravings kicked in, we found ourselves at the Morrison Oyster Bar. The first thing that struck me was the interior—bright and airy yet effortlessly inviting. It’s the kind of place that says, “Yes, we’re upscale, but you can totally wear your sneakers here.” I went with an Aperol Spritz, a bubbly and bitter classic. Served in a generously sized glass with plenty of ice and a slice of orange, it was perfectly balanced—not too sweet, not too strong—it’s like sunshine in a glass. My partner’s Grapefruit Fizz was equally impressive:a vibrant concoction with just the right mix of tartness and sweetness. Overall the drinks where light,refreshing and dangerously drinkable. The bartender asked what kind of oysters we wanted, and I—being a clueless oyster outsider—let him decide. He sent over three of each variety, which turned out to be a great call. My partner, the oyster expert, praised the freshness as some of the best she’s had. But for $6.50 a pop, she was hoping for something bigger—these were on the smaller side, though undeniably top-notch in flavor. As for me, I opted for the Polish Sausage Ritz. It was…fine. Hearty and satisfying but not exactly life-changing. Let’s just say it was no match for the oysters or the drinks. The real star of the evening, though, was the service. The bartender and waitress were not only helpful but genuinely nice, which is harder to come by than you’d think. Their warmth and attention elevated the experience, making even a non-oyster fan like me feel at ease. Would we return? Definitely—for the oysters (if you don’t mind the price) and the impeccable service. And next time, maybe I’ll skip the sausage and stick to the drinks.
