Sepia in Sydney. Highly regarded apparently.

We paid more than we did at Akalarre in San Sebastian (3* FWIW).

Food was unforgettable, bland and mono-texture. Service was arrogant ("we don't give the menu until the end of meal so you don't have preconceptions"). Unfortunately this extended to napkins, which arrived at course 4, without an apology. Paired wines were picked for "uniqueness" rather than taste (picking a white grape from a red area etc. and bizarrely included only one Aussie wine...."food miles" anyone?). The first 5 courses took 2.5 hours and they then rushed the last 3 in less than 30mins, presumably as they wanted to close up.
