NOMAD Sydney

had a great set menu here with a group, was well looked after as a coeliac

Saturday night , peak hour . Was seated at the bar , at the far end. Decided on the set menu for $110 per person . First conversation with our waitress was 6 mins after we sat down . I informed her I was gluten free and if they could acccomodate this with the set menu . Explanation was thorough enough . Waited another 25 mins for our drinks . One of them non alcoholic, the other a wine. Dishes were flavourful and delicate, and portions tiny . However to substitute the bread I was served potato chips , they skipped the real potatoes . 🥔. I wasn’t told about this . Service was very slow , plates weren’t cleared in between courses , and there were lengthy gaps between each course. Service was almost non existent. This was not a degustation, the serving plates were extremely small portions . The option for the gluten free dessert was a scoop of coconut 🥥 sorbet in a half a passion fruit shell , on a bowl of ice - for 2 adults! For the price we paid for food, that is a total is $220, this felt like a major rip off . Coming from Melbourne , and having been to the Nomad there 3 yrs ago when it first opened , this experience was just not even comparable to the one we had the Adelphi Hotel - from the vibe to the service , to the atmosphere . Even the chef even came out and explained the dishes personally back then in Melbourne In this case in Sydney you pay exorbitant prices , for what you don’t get . Extremely disappointing.
