Salt - Darlinghurst

Just to set the benchmark, below was the best meal i ever ate. It cost a lot, but was worth it. This was from 6 months ago, so there isn't detailed comments - but i cannot fault the service or food at all - except the desert was a tiny bit to strong for me. This rates 4 stars (out of 5... it was great, but i must leave room to improve!)

Note the pictures have loaded in funny order, and i dont have every course... but here we go. (the wines listed are those that came as matched for each course of the degustation)

Scotch Fillet Wagyu Beef with Figs & Prosciutto, Asparagus, Truss tomatoes & Zucchini, Balsamic dressing (2003 Sanguine Estate Shiraz)

Cocoanut Broth with Prawn, Mushroom, Nori and Foie Gras. (2003 Palacios Remondo - Spain)

Crab Ravioli, Corn Puree, Sauce Vierge (2001 Lake George Unfiltered Chardonnay - Aus)

Licorice Parfait, Lime Syrup (2001 Domaine ROtier Gaillac Doux - France)

Tempura of Quail With Sesame & Wasabi Dressing, Daikon, Watercress & Carrot (2002 DOmaine Collette Marannay - France)

There are a few courses missing here, including chilled beetroot shots, softly poached quail egg, and seared scallops with GOlden beetroot, fresh motzarella, honey and Thyme dressing.

This 8 course degustation cost AU$125pp - $165pp with matched wines. It was the most expensive meal i have paid for yet, and far and away the best. I am keen to better it!
