I love this place! You can book at 7pm, not 6pm or 8pm, neither of which is ideal and seems the norm now. Throw a dart in the menu and get a great dish. First date, group of friends or bring your mum, they’ve got you. A wide selection of veggie options that meat eaters will love as well. Friendly, knowledgeable staff. Come, you’ll love it. Forgot to take photos, was too busy enjoying the food, sorry.

Staff was super welcoming and attentive. Came for a birthday group booking. We had a private area which was nice and food was decent. Overall great vibes.

The perfect blend of generously sized incredibly tasty and healthy share plates, with an outstanding wine list. Thank you to Louis and team for a lovely evening.

A hidden gem in the heart of Newtown. A nice cosy bar and restaurant with delicious food and delightful drinks for everyone to enjoy. Food was very nice and was quite reasonable for the quality of each dish. If you like fine dining on a budget this would be close to it as the food was very nice. We had a few share plates and cocktails. The service was very good too. Highly recommend for a date night!

One of my all-time favourite places to eat in Sydney. The food is always outstanding as are the staff, warm, attentive friendly and lots of fun. I love introducing my fiends and then they introduce more people and always call to say think you for recommending Bloodwood.

Wonderful spot in Newtown. Balcony was a huge vibe, especially when the shade was retracted. Staff were helpful & super friendly & the food + house cocktails were great too. Will most definitely be back!

Really excellent food. Creative, special and well executed.Dessert was a bit disappointing (the almond custard) but 5 of 5 exceptional entrees still warrants five stars. Yum.

An industrial restaurant with fantastic service and a gorgeous range of dishes to try out. Their scallops are delicious and fresh. The polenta chips were piping hot and yummy. There is a lovely range of cocktails, the Pommy and Peruvian Fairy were both refreshing. The fried chicken and pork skewer were the stand out mains for the night. All the staff are welcoming, smiling and helpful. Great place for couples/friends/family and there is a large downstairs table for parties/events. The kitchen is open and everyone thanked us upon leaving. Now I know why my friend recommended this place! I will be back and highly suggest giving Bloodwood a visit.

Tapas style kai, very cost effective for four non-locals (NZ, BNE and Chile) looking for somewhere to eat. We hadn’t booked and they were flat out, so the lady popped us out on the footpath and we had a great experience. Thumbs up Bloodwood

It was a really excellent experience overall - the staff were great, the setting was relaxed and the food was great value for the quality of the food. The portion and price point does mean you can try a few dishes even between 2-3 people which is great.I think for my personal taste - the blue cheese sauce that went with the polenta could’ve been a lot stronger. Also the olive oil was soooo delicious and fruity on the day we were there - it was great on some dishes but I think it slightly overpowered the beef tartare. The kingfish was outstanding.

Pecan pate. You must try it. But phone ahead if you have specific access requirements. They have steps to get in and stairs to the bathroom.

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.

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.

Everything was good, but not quite great. The vegetarian menu was seriously lacking items with protein, but was nonetheless tasty. Friendly staff and a nice atmosphere.

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.
