Not Bad for a Weds Night
My first night out in Sydney after the conference was a quiet dinner out in the city.
We went to this place on the wharf off of Pyrmont Bridge. They offered a $10 Rump Steak which was cooked perfectly and pretty tasty. I was pretty happy, although the small (less than a pint it seemed) glass of beer was $8.
The steak fries were really good, I do have to say that! The Little Creatures Beer was also pretty tasty!
Overall, there is no tipping in Australia. But so fat the three places I have been to, shows me that it is a "get up and get it yourself" kind of culture here. At Cargo Bar, you never really interact with anyone except the bartender. You order everything there and they bring it to your table. So far, no where I went do you get water at your table, not does a waitstaff tend to your needs really, you have to flag someone down or go to the bar to get it. Even at the hotel restaurants, this the case, The Breakfast buffet, the only thing the waitstaff did was clear my plate, not a single word spoken, no water, even coffee was get it yourself.
The quality of food is good, the price (it was a Weds Special) was good. Normal price was $22 and I would not say it was worth $22. Would I go again? Maybe, but there are also so many places to see! I would say, on a week night, Cargo Bar is worth a stop!
