Lovely restaurant and bar in Newtown. Their food is exception and their selection of wine unmatched. Tried my first skin contact wine here the other month and came back for another round.Service is always fantastic.

Cosy atmosphere, friendly customer service and the price of the food justified the quality of the food. Received fantastic customer service experience and special thanks to Sabrina for looking after us during our visit with great enthusiasm 😀 stake was the most liked from our group followed by the chickpeas pancakes. Restaurant and food quality five starts 👌 however, Newton area is challenging area to find a car park, therefore public transport or taxi types service is ideal methods of transport to get there unless you are local.

A fantastic meal, service was so good. We were recommended a few great dishes from our waiter. I will certainly be returning when back in Sydney.

One of the best set menus I've tried to date! Highly recommend Bloodwood for modern Australian food in Newtown. Got the Chef's Banquet for $70pp which was amazing - favourites were the focaccia with pecan pate, polenta chips and lamb rump. Flavours were diverse but not too overpowering, really enjoyed the range of seasonings and sauces in the dishes.However, found the desserts to be a major let-down. Pina colada trifle was decent but the vanilla rice pudding was not pleasant, the balsamic roasted grapes were too sour and didn't go well with the rice pudding which wasn't very sweet. Chocolate cake also had an overpowering chocolate flavour. Aside from the desserts, still deserves a 5-star rating because of the other phenomenal dishes on the banquet.Water service was spot on, although food did take a bit long to come out in between courses. Interior is quite dim so best for a cosy but casual, relaxed dining atmosphere.

A very nice concept, with a nice specialty menu. The service is excellent, the design is quite interesting. The food is delicious and the team is helpful and generous.The table are so close and it gets really noisy when it is fully booked in a way that could hear the people sitting on the next table clearly along with the noise coming from downstairs as well.

Bloodwood is a great spot for a premium dining experience in a relaxed, casual setting.The staff are very supportive and accommodating and can vary many dishes to suit allergies, diets and general preferences.The lamb is a must try. I haven't yet had a dish there that I didn't like.

I've been to Bloodwood twice, and the latest time was even better than the first. It's a bit of a tapas vibe, so we had 8 dishes for 5 people, which was absolutely perfect for us.The food came out SO fast. The absolute stars of the night were the Ocean Trout, Prawn Toast, and the Beef Skewer. Absolutely incredible flavours. 10/10 for all three of these dishes.The two I wouldn't order again were the Duck and the Octopus. Duck was cooked perfectly and had a sour rhubarb sauce. Needed a tiny bit more sweetness to be amazing. The Octopus was a weird one. Not a fan of the flavour combo on there. Very bitter with the charcoal.The drinks were great. Would recommend the Pommy cocktail to anyone. Their spicy margarita packs a real punch.The staff were absolutely fantastic, attentive, and the drinks were flowing quickly. Our waitress was so caring and supportive of managing our table's allergies. Took her time explaining the menu in detail to ensure we were comfortable.There were no peanuts on the menu (perfect for peanut allergies) and use minimal dairy. They also offered vegan alternatives for a lot of food items if that's what you're into.We finished the night with the rice pudding and the chocolate fudge cake. Both were absolutely lovely. The cake was dense and delectable, and the rice pudding had these AMAZING little balsamic grapes on top.Overall, an incredible evening. The whole table was so happy with the whole night. We'll be back again for sure.

Yum. Always a joy to go to Bloodwood. The set menu does not disappoint. Everytime they bring out the lettuce bowls, my dining companions are always gobsmacked that it's just lettuce - HOWEVER at the end of the meal, they always comment on how the chef knows what you need to keep enjoying the food and not get over full before the end of the menu!! Just a beautiful, well designed set menu and I will be back!Great location too and the atmosphere is always lovely and cosy.

Came here last night with a friend and the service was sooooo friendly and attentive. The staff were all so lovely. The food - amazing! Cashew paté was to die for! Sat in the bar area and the tables are a little close to each other and hard to fit the share plates on but aside from that, a great dining experience! Will definitely be back and recommend!

Popped in for a quick cocktail shortly before close and the tall 🦧bartender attentively took me and a friends order (A class customer service!!!) and knowlegably matched a cocktail to our preferences. Cant wait to come back and try the famously tasty grub😁

Everything done excellently. Had to leave a review. Can’t name a favourite, too many options, had to try everything. Gun to my head: the chicken. And hats off to whoever controls service there, we weren’t a small table, and we were well looked after. Many kudos. And don’t get me started on the desserts. Get bent, were too good. Chef to chef, fracking excellent. One of the best Newtown has to offer. Good job team, keep it up, you shame us.

Great food, cocktails and service as always, but surprisingly some of our usual favourites were overpowered by salt (polenta chips, beef tartare, burrata). The fried chicken was delicious however. Hopefully it's just post-lockdown teething problems.

Fabulous food and ambience. The music 🎶 was great. Really loved the friendly and polite service. They actually know their food so well and take pride in that. From a simple bread to the cheese platter, all the things we ordered were impressive. Would be definitely back as it was an experience to remember.

Came here late on a Saturday for food. The area out the back was full but we were given a seat in the bar area with the full menu.Menu had lots of good options and the staff helpfully pointed out everything unsuitable for a coeliac. Prices were a little steap it must be said hence my one star off.There was a good vibe inside and the staff were attentive and friendly, keeping my water topped up and looking after us very well overall.

We had a wonderful time at Bloodwood! The staff & service were absolutely brilliant, I couldn't say enough good things about them. The food was delicious and our group kept commenting on how tasty everything was. My only suggestion would be if catering for a group on the set menu to allow for a larger portion of food as we did struggle to share the small amounts and at $65/head could represent better value for money. Otherwise, cannot fault the experience at all.

Delicious food with unique flavours for each. Would recommend the lentils, pancake and fish. These plates have smaller portions with a higher price.
