We recently celebrated our wedding at Maestria , and it was an absolutely unforgettable experience. From start to finish, the team at the venue went above and beyond to ensure our special day was perfect.

The ambiance of the venue was simply stunning, with elegant decor and a warm, welcoming atmosphere. The layout of the space was ideal for our needs, providing a seamless flow for our guests from the ceremony to the reception.

The staff were incredibly professional, attentive, and friendly. They took care of every detail with precision and care, allowing us to relax and enjoy our day without any worries. The food was outstanding, with a delicious menu that received rave reviews from all our guests.

We are so grateful for the exceptional service and the beautiful setting that Maestria provided. It truly made our wedding day magical. We highly recommend this venue to any couple looking for a perfect place to celebrate their big day.

Thank you, Anna Wang and Bailey Wang and all of the Maestria team, for making our wedding a day we will cherish forever!

Regards
John & Simone

The food here is terrible! Whilst the presentation of every dish was aesthetically pleasing, they all lacked flavour and quality.

Items that we ordered:
- Crudo kingfish 1/5. The serving size was appalling small, 6 tiny slices for $24. The kingfish tasted very fishy and bland, it definitely was not fresh, which really only highlighted the fishy taste. We did not even finish the dish as it felt off putting to eat.

- Rockmelon Prosciutto Bruschetta 1/5. This was so dry, there was no oil, no butter, no seasoning on the bread at all. Basically it was just prosciutto, piled on a slice bread with a thin slice of rockmelon.

- Butterfly King Prawns 1/5. This was the first dish that actually had some type of flavour, I would of given this 2/5 however based on the price $24 for the size of the prawns, this lost a star.

- Truffle Mushroom Pasta 2/5. It was slightly bland, not terrible but nothing stood out either.

- Fish Tacos 3/5. The restaurant ran out of flatbread for the taco so they substituted this with lettuce. Surprisingly, the tacos was tasteful. This dish was probably the highlight of the dinner.

- Striploin Steak 1/5. The steak came out quite grey, it was very hard to chew and had no flavour. The steak was nowhere near tender or juicy, just tasted old and tough. For $42, it was definitely an absolute disappointment.

Venue atmosphere - we chose to sit in the outdoor area which is a very nice space, however half the restaurant was booked out for a wedding, so there was music coming from the speakers from the wedding side as well as music from the DJ that the restaurant organised for the general public so it was just absolute chaos. This made it so noisy and you couldn't even hear the DJ properly. It doesn't make much sense for the venue to host a wedding function and to also have public dinning all in one confined space. There was no partitions to seperate the sound, so you're just sitting there listening to two different styles of music playing at once in one space.

The entire dinner cost $260 (we did order 4 cocktails which cost $100). Hands down, this is the most disappointing dinner experience I've had especially as it was also the most expensive meal I've had in Rhodes.

I would not recommend this place for dinner, it's probably an okay place to go to have a few drinks but it definitely is not a place to go for good quality food.

Absolutely beautiful! I’m in love with this restaurant! I came here to celebrate a bridal shower and the food was absolutely divine, service was spot on and the atmosphere was breathtaking. Will definitely be back in the future!

Went here for a birthday. A very well presented funky location. A true hidden gem. However the food didn't get past third gear.

A lack of salt, and no flavour punch. The tartar of beef didn't have a yolk and not much cornichon flavour, however the crackers were nice.

The eggplant really needed salt and the flavour felt very one dimensional through the dish.

The dishes are OK,the flavour is what let it down. The prices are OK for most dishes but a little high for others.

Came here with the wife and mother in law. A+ for venue, it's very beautiful and bespoke, lots of photo opportunities, we were the only patrons but I didn't mind, the waiter was attentive and instantly brought cold table water and the parking lot was empty so very easy to get a spot (it's a slight walk from the actual entrance but to be fair, if you try eat at your local cafe you generally won't get a spot directly Infront either). Got an acai smoothie for a drink to start, very fair price of $8. Not a crazy expansive menu choice but everything is well-priced for Sydney cafes, I would say slightly below average pricing which is great. Got the eggs Benedict for example which most other places you'd expect to have to pay over $20 with smoked salmon. Hollandaise was great, sourdough bread was slightly stale but still tasted good with the meal. Highlight for us was the crab omelette, can definitely taste and see the crab pieces, and was very fluffy. The presentation wasn't anything to write home about, maybe just a splash of vegetables would've helped with the visuals, but like I said, the can't fault the taste it was possibly the best crab omelette I've ever had.

The venue is pretty and good for pictures, waiters very nice and helpful, however the food itself was subpar. This is disappointing because this is the main reason why people go out to eat. While the food presentation is beautiful, the portion size is small and most dishes lacked seasoning. Ceviche was too citrusy. Potatos bland and dry even with the sauce. Wagyu cooked well, but lacked seasoning. Chorizo appetiser was flavoursome but can get a bit heavy if you eat too much. My fav dish was probably the truffle fries.
Wouldnt recommend coming here for food.

A big thank you to Anna, Bailey, Lena and the team at Maestria for making our dreams come true. We had one of the biggest functions to be held and Maestria and Anna was able to accommodate and look after all our guest. The food, the service the atmosphere was incredible. All our guests said ‘hidden gem’ and unfortunately night.
