Was attracted to the description “one of the prettiest restaurants in Melbourne” and the menu looked good too. We were very pleased with our set lunch and the starters and sides we added on. The Blackmore steak was superb. My mandarin spicy margarita was refreshing! Omnia goes on our list! We will definitely be back!

Truly amazing experience, the details in flavour & presentation are on point. Table side steak tartare & probably one on the best ducks dishes a must try. Well worth it.

Always wonderful. Wait and wine staff extremely knowledgeable and make great recommendations of what to choose, personalised to the individual. Professional and attentive without being overbearing or seeming to to be “going through the motions”. You would be hard pressed to find a better duck parfait anywhere and the trout caviars and potato rosti are always a hit when we dine with friends/family. If there are only two of you, then sitting up at the chef’s bar is always very special as you watch the chefs go about their business in one of the quietest, organised kitchens imaginable. Definitely a South Yarra highlight!
