Overview
Set within luxurious surrounds, BLACK Bar & Grill is the Star's steak in shining armour. A favourite amongst the casino's high-rolling gamblers, BLACK is a beef fiend's haven.
BLACK's interior might present itself in blatant contrast to Sydney's favour of casual dining, but for that we hail it as an indulgence. Bunk down in one of the wood and copper-panelled booths, at the sultry bar or book ahead to secure a private room. And to go with the decadent decor? Celebrity chefs and inspiring food.
Start with some freshly shucked oysters to awaken the buds; they come with a cucumber vinaigrette and sesame dressing. BLACK Bar & Grill's crudo of silver trevally, persimmon and burnt mandarin is another quality choice if after something light to whet one's appetite.
And if we're honest, we're here for the beef. The 300g scotch fillet, grain-fed angus has a marble rating of 5+ and is suited to those after a hefty slab of meat. Add a side of burnt BBQ tomato sauce, mashed potato with chives, and some butternut pumpkin with sesame, lentil, and mint. Most likely, you'll be adjusting your notches. For something a little more refined, the flat iron, ration-fed wagyu with a +9 marble rating can only be described as a tender god. A porcini mushroom and veal sauce is a better fit for the wagyu.
And for those who are game, there's always dessert. The cream cheesecake with mugwort ice cream, lavender crystal and perilla is a fun and rich indulgence, while the seasonal fruit sorbet is a tad lighter.
BLACK Bar & Grill is expensive, yes, and not for everyone. But if you're around the casino traps and so happen to get lucky, you should call it all or nothing. For indulgence at its best, BLACK's the winning bet.
