We started with the seafood platter, which was easily the highlight of the night. Everything on the platter was fresh and beautifully presented. The Moreton Bay bugs and king prawns were absolute standouts, sweet, tender and full of flavour. A fantastic way to begin the evening. We then had the beef tartare, which carried a rich mustard flavour. It was bold but not overpowering, and well balanced overall. For mains, we tried the Wallaby Wellington, which was a first for us. While it wasn’t to our personal taste, it was clearly well prepared and the pastry was cooked perfectly, golden, crisp and not greasy. Unfortunately, the steak let the experience down. Although it was cooked to the requested medium rare, it arrived stone cold, as if it had been sitting on the pass for quite some time. We sent it back, and while the staff did offer to prepare another one, we declined as we had already been seated for over 2.5 hours by that point. Service was another disappointment. Upon being seated, we ordered a wine and a scotch, but it took over 30 minutes, and a reminder to staff before they arrived. When the wine finally came out, it was the wrong bottle. Overall, the seafood was exceptional and showcased the kitchen at its best, but inconsistencies in service and execution took away from what could have been a much stronger experience.

We had a lovely experience at Blackbird Melbourne. We ordered the seafood platter to share, and it was fresh, well-prepared, and very enjoyable. The service was excellent—attentive, friendly, and made us feel well looked after throughout the meal. A special mention to the eggplant steak, which was absolutely delicious and a standout dish for us. Overall, a great dining experience with quality food and service.

The reason I chose this restaurant was very simple — it’s open for dinner on a Monday, which is surprisingly hard to find. The service was very good, especially from Demi who was attentive and friendly throughout the evening. In terms of the food, it was quite okay. It didn’t fully match my personal taste, so I wouldn’t say it’s an outstanding dining experience for me. However, considering the limited options available on a Monday night, it’s definitely a solid choice.

Their lunch deal is incredible! Only $45 got us each exceptional appetizers and entrées along with an alcoholic beverage. The presentation was top-notch and the food was fresh. Service was very attempted and the seating is very comfortable. I couldn’t quite figure out why the place was so empty at lunch. I guess it’s just a hidden gem. As an aside, I’m not a drinker, but their wine list was quite extensive. They did have a nonalcoholic beer option for the lunch special.

the atmosphere was really nice, super pretty, and the service was good. the steaks were amazing, however the ‘wallaby wellington’ was quite flavourless and tasted like grass, it wasn’t to our liking. the presentation and all the other food was super nice, it’s expensive, but you expect that.
