The Ternary has a polished, modern feel without becoming stiff or overly formal. The high ceilings, large windows, wine displays and lively bar give the space real character, while the city outlook makes it feel distinctly Sydney.

I liked the Grill, Wok and Wine concept because it gives the restaurant a clear identity rather than the usual “something for everyone” hotel menu. The space works equally well for breakfast, drinks or dinner, and the bar area is especially inviting.

What impressed me most was the atmosphere. The Ternary feels like a place you would choose to visit, not simply somewhere you eat because you happen to be staying nearby. The setting is stylish, relaxed and well put together, with enough energy to feel special but still comfortable.

The restaurant also proudly displays its 2026 Travellers’ Choice recognition, and the overall presentation certainly reflects a venue that takes its dining experience seriously.

A memorable Sydney restaurant with a strong sense of place, an appealing concept and an atmosphere that makes you want to stay a little longer.

Came here for my birthday dinner with friends. The menu was really good with a lot of options. Food was delicious! Salmon was fat and juicy, steak was so buttery, lamb tikka was bomb. The aioli had the perfect amount of truffle. It was all too good!

What blew me away the most were the wait staff!! Omg, the service was phenomenal! Every wait staff went above and beyond and they were ALL so so so nice. You should just visit them for their service alone, they made me feel so special on my birthday and looked after us so well.

Huge shout out to Danial P, and honestly all the staff! They all attended to us and were so lovely. Thanks to Gabby for pre-planning the cake as well, did not expect that at all! Definitely coming back!! You guys made my whole birthday. You have amazing staff!! ❤️
