Greg Doyle's Pier, a Sydney institution, is internationally renowned and awarded as one of Australia's finest seafood restaurants. Jutting out over Rose Bay Marina, Pier's Dining Room captures some of Sydney's most beautiful views. With a maximum of 55 guests at one sitting, the Dining Room delivers intimate service and is famed for its delicately constructed dishes. Pier's Tasting Room is located in the front area of the restaurant and, inspired by a trip to Europe, it offers small plates at bar seating to provide for a more casual experience. In Pier, chefs Greg Doyle and Grant King and pastry chef Katrina Kanetani, offer 99 of the restaurant's signature dishes, using only the very best of seasonal produce in innovative ways. All feature the freshness, delicacy and restraint that are the hallmarks of the Pier style, and many are from the restaurant's acclaimed Tasting menu.
