Bloodwood Restaurant Bar

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.

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.

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.

Came on a Monday night and it was happening. Constant flow of customers- not too many dinner places open on Monday so very thankful this place was! And till late too. Food was delicious and service was friendly and efficient.
