Step into COMPA, here the servings are generous and
the atmosphere is effortlessly sophisticated. It feels
instantly familiar. Descending into the space is like giving
an old friend a long overdue hug.

For Matt Moran’s ACT debut - antipasto, pasta and charcoal
dishes bring a touch of Tuscany to your table. As with all
his establishments, at the heart of his menu is quality
produce that is fresh, seasonal and locally sourced.
COMPA is built on a simple, often forgotten pairing: good
food and good company.

    A good restaurant. Just too much food. The meat was a bit tough and not cooked enough. The price is too much given what was provided; not good value for money.

    First time eating at Compa, wasn't too bad overall for a competitor steak house to Meat and Wine Co. Slightly over priced though in oir opinion, especially when considering the steaks consist of only four options.

    My girlfriend and I went here on a date night and ordered the tasting menu. The food was excellent, especially the sirloin, and the service was very good. We will be coming back here again.

    Staff were very friendly and helpful. The resteraunt itself had a lovely hum and wasn’t too hectic. The lighting and table setting was beautiful.

    Food is excellent but unfortunately the service was terrible. We waited almost an hour for our main meals whilst all around us were served in a timely fashion. No toilet paper in the loos was also a disappointment. We have been to other Matt Moran restaurants and have always been impressed. Thus one needs some serious attention

    Music! Loud and not required! The staff turned it down when requested but my wife and I when to celebrate a few things and we didn’t need music playing. It is not a rock concern.

    We were charged $5 per person for water (not sparkling) - this was a massive turn off for our group as this was not made obvious on the menu nor by the waiter who offered us the water. The pricing on the steaks was also very misleading. The food was decent but a little bland. Wouldn’t recommend for the price and probably won’t return.
