In March 2025,The Sydney Morning Herald and The Age published an investigation into multiple allegations of sexual misconduct and violence by Sylvester Terzini, who was employed at various hospitality venues owned by Maurice Terzini, including Icebergs Dining Room and Bar. Maurice denied he had engaged in any inappropriate conduct by employing his son at his venues, and Sylvester denied any sexual misconduct and violence. In June 2025, further allegations were made. The investigation remains ongoing.
When it comes to dining-room real estate, restaurateur Maurice Terzini’s seaside pearl sits in a league of its own.
The unofficial dress code seems to be white linen and sunburn, with well-to-do tourists and the local glamour set all here to watch the Pacific Ocean put on a show. A savvy interior of turquoise and glass offers some distraction from the sea, as does Alex Prichard’s sharply honed modern cooking.
Everyone is looked after at Icebergs: there are luxe numbers such as Moreton Bay bug insalata with kelp-roasted potatoes, and delicate coral trout tartare. But also crowd-pleasing favourites, including whole lobster and salt crusted rib-eye. Murray cod is precisely grilled and kept simple with lemon, olive oil and sorrel.
Waitstaff are well drilled, offering astute steers on a broad, impressive wine list combining classics and newer producers. Still one of Sydney’s most Sydney restaurants.
