   Absolutely incredible! This was a meal where the rule book on how things are supposed to taste and be presented was thrown out and what you were left with was incredibly surprising and wonderful at every turn. We had a vegetarian meal (not vegan so dairy, honey and eggs were okay). Very often, we find that vegetables are used or presented in a manner that attempts to mimic the texture and flavour of meat. While I'm mostly okay with that approach, at Attica the vegetables and other ingredients definitely took center stage and didn't feel like they were a substitute for anything else. Non alcoholic pairings are usually just a dozen ways of serving something sickly sweet over and over, but the care that went into creating a series of unique, sometimes wine like drinks, was deeply appreciated. Also the fact that it was built around native ingredients and cooking styles means that I'm never going to experience anything similar anywhere else.

   I'm sorry you felt that way Max. We always do our best to engage with our guests, however we are also conscious of being overly engaging for solo diners who may not want too much of our story. I'm sorry if we read the room wrong in this case, I'm disappointed we missed an an opportunity to wow you as we would have intended.

   Had an absolutely amazing night. I went with my partner to celebrate an anniversary. We went into this experience looking for a once in a lifetime experience and we got it. My only issue after experiencing Attica, is that all I can think about is going back in the future and trying it all again. Genuinely completely satisfied by all aspects of the experience. The service was impeccable, friendly staff were always available within seconds of even thinking of something to ask. Our table was assigned to a lovely waitress named Bridget, she was incredibly helpful in all aspects throughout the night. At the end of the night I had an issue with my card and while comedic in hindsight I was completely mortified at the time. Bridget was so lovely however and a nice reminder that behind this amazing experience is a bunch of passionate humans doing what they love and serving in an environment where they can shine. I'm so grateful to all the staff who made our evening perfect in every way. We each had the sample menu and my partner had the wine tasting. With communication prior to the date about my partners allergies, they were able to offer us the same amazing experience with different dishes. Every course was like an art exhibit, with a very well informed member of staff explaining every element of the dishes. The sommeliers were all incredibly experienced, informed and visibly passionate about the wines served, giving personal stories of the vineyards and producers of the wines as they served them. I could spend hours talking about the food as we will likely remember each dish for many many years to come, however I don't want to spoil anything for anyone looking to try. All I can say is that every meal was perfect in its timing, presentation, flavour, texture and pairing. I was able to try so many foods I never had and I'm so glad I did. Overall highly recommend, Attica is pricier than other table d'hote places in Melbourne but is 100% worth it for the experience.

    Truly a bucket-list dining experience. From the kind and attentive staff to the cutlery, every detail at Attica is clearly considered. No details are overlooked! Superb.
