A sense of occasion? You’ve come to the right place, from a mic’d-up greeter hitting the elevator button to the doors swishing open on an opulent bunker two floors below. Despite its furtive address, this golden-hued den is a place to be seen sipping cinematic cocktails while on a dressed-to-the-the-nines date.
The menu trades on luxe ingredients – jewelled tiles of sashimi arranged artfully on ice and fat lobes of rock lobster elevating fried rice – but it also loves a playful twist. Prawn toast is reimagined with fried Chinese doughnuts and sweet-sour chilli vinegar sauce into the love child of 1970s suburban Chinese and one of Melbourne’s current “it” dishes, while Blackmore wagyu might get the Japanese barbecue treatment and end up in a DIY bao.
End by cracking open a perfectly glossy chocolate sphere to reveal its Milo marshmallow and milk chocolate panna cotta innards – but photograph yourself first.
Good to know: A late-night supper menu is designed for elegant snacking.
