My husband and I thoroughly enjoyed our anniversary dinner at Cecconi’s Flinders Lane. The restaurant came highly recommended by family members and our daughter gave us a very generous voucher to use towards our dinner. The staff were knowledgeable and helpful with the menu, without being intrusive. The food was delicious and there was an extensive selection of beer, wine and cocktail options.

Amazing. I've been recommended Lona Misa for years but was put off by price. Finally came because of a special occasion. Had a fabulous time and the price was actually worth it as it was total value for money unlike some other exy places. However best part was the staff who were super kind and accommodating and went above and beyond to make it a fabulous night. Will definitely be coming back for just regular dinners now too. Literally no bad words to say. My mouth is watering as I remember back to last night's food. Will have to come back ASAP!

A beautiful wholesome experience. Everyone had a job and they got it done. From the welcoming, to being seated, food and drinks arriving was seamless. Each dish was brought out by various kitchen staff and talked you through the dishes. Fergus made a excellent wine pairing for us, allowing it to be specialised and personalised from local wines to wines from around the world. It was amazing seeing the city view from the afternoon to sunset and then getting to enjoy a cocktail in the Lui Bar to finish off. A massive thanks to the whole team for an incredible experience. An experience that I hope to get to do again!
