Annata Restaurant & Wine Bar

Loved the spiced duck breast. The sweetcorn polenta (part of the BBQ kingfish dish) was also really tasty and left me wanting more! I wish there was an option to order the polenta itself - thats how good it was. The lobster Scrippelle was also delicious but i just wished there was more 😭

A hidden gem nestled within Crows Nest serving modern and inventive cuisine. I have known about Annata for quite some time but was able to finally visit and was suitably impressed. One stand out from the beginning was the service - they helpfully let us sit in a different area which was preferred. The waiter also helpfully explained the menus and was attentive throughout, often asking for feedback on the food. The food itself was fantastic - they use unique ways to deliver the flavours which complemented the freshness of the ingredients. We opted for the chef's set menu and we would recommend it for the value and opportunity to taste a lot of the dishes they have to offer. It is clear they put thought into every dish in both taste and presentation. We thoroughly enjoyed our experience and would definitely recommend to others for a modern dining experience.

My partner and I dined at Annata for our anniversary, and could not fault our experience from start to finish. We had the 5-course set menu with wine pairing. Never before have we had the option of TWO wines per course, where you select your preferred wine to go with your dish. Our waiter James was knowledgeable, entertaining, and gave us excellent service throughout the night. Highly recommend, and would definitely go again!

I recently dined at Annata and had a memorable experience. As soon as I sat down, I was approached by someone walking by who is a regular and she enthusiastically shared what I should try on the menu. This told me everything I needed to know about the venue. For me, the highlight was definitely the Alfosino Crudo with dashi cream—it's a beautifully crafted dish that's well balanced. The service was equally memorable; John and the team were warm, knowledgeable, and eager to share insights about the local wines and the dishes. I can't wait to return and thank you so much!

I have been to many fine dinning places. I went to annata yesterday with my partner, pretty much my first time. The food is good in a modern style. The owner is very friendly and so as other staff members, its better at least 90% of fine dinning place in Sydney i would like to say, you can tell they really like their jobs.

Amazing Chefs Tasting Menu Tuesday for $88 per person or paired wine menu for $155 per person. Our party of 4 opted for the $88 and a nice bottle of red recommended by John the owner. It was a fantastic evening with great food and wine. All the courses (see menu photos) were plated and tasted fantastic. Takes me back to the good old days of fine dining where the owner / chef actually cares and greets all their customers. Owner John actually tells the history of the restaurant and helps select the wine. Really sets the mood for good vibes and evening. I can highly recommend Annata for the great food, location and ambiance. Great value for a fine dining experience. The restaurant is not that big so make sure to reserve ahead.

Had a fantastic experience at Annata! The food was delicious, and the staff were super friendly and welcoming. Bonus points for being pet-friendly—my dog loved it too! Highly recommend for great food and a relaxed, pet-friendly vibe. Will definitely be back!

Always a lovely experience dining at Annata. The food never disappoint and the flavour combinations are spot on. The wine pairing is a great complement and you get to choose between 2 wines for each dishes so there is something for every taste buds. On top of that, our waiters were lovely and helpful without being intrusive. Been there a number of times and will be back again :)
