As one of Sydney CBD’s premium dining destinations, Lana dazzles with its ambiance but divides opinions on food—here’s the honest scoop! 🌆 Ambiance & Service Hidden Entrance: Accessed via Grana Restaurant on Young Street—follow the stairs to the moody second floor. Design Vibes: Warm lighting, marble bars, open kitchen—perfect for dates or celebrations. Service: Attentive but pacing lags between courses. 🍽️ Dish Breakdown (What to Skip) ✅ Scallop Crudo: Fresh, buttery, citrus-dressed—best bite of the night. ✅ Citrus-Cured Salmon: Fatty slices balanced with yuzu zest—Asian-friendly. ❌ Smoked Wagyu: Overcooked to jerky-like dryness, sauce couldn’t save it. ❌ Clam Linguine: Bland sauce, al dente pasta—subpar for the price. 💰 Price & Value Cost: $120–150 AUD pp (with drinks) Verdict: Worth it for the ambiance alone; focus on seafood and skip mains. 📌 Essentials 📍 Address: Level 1/5-7 Young St, Sydney (enter via Grana) ⏰ Hours: Tue, Wed, Sat: 5pm–11pm Thu, Fri: 11:30am–11pm 🔗 Booking: Reserve window seats online; mention special occasions for free dessert! 🌟 Better Alternatives For ambiance + flavor, try: 1️⃣ Bennelong (Opera House views, modern Aussie) 2️⃣ Aria (Circular Quay seafood star) 3️⃣ Fred’s (Surry Hills’ cozy fire-to-table magic) #SydneyFineDining #RestaurantReview #HitOrMiss #DateNightSydney #TravelAustralia
