Incredible service from start to finish. The staff took so much time and care explaining the wines and the menu, which really made the experience stand out. The stracciatella peach dish was the highlight for me, while the beef tartare bites were enjoyable. The fish and lettuce dish was a little underwhelming, but the wine list was impressive and the staff were exceptionally knowledgeable. I’d definitely recommend coming here. It would make a great date spot. It’s comfortable and welcoming without feeling pretentious. I’ll definitely be back to try the new seasonal menu.

Great local spot in Cremorne with a fantastic atmosphere. The food was good and well executed, while the service was friendly, attentive and made the experience even better. The vibe is what really stands out though, relaxed, stylish and perfect for a catch-up over a glass of wine. Will definitely be back.

One of the best wine bars we have been to in a while. The wine selection was fantastic, paired with a variety of small plates. Happy to see lots of vegan options with no compromise on flavour. Nice and dimly lit atmosphere. Would definitely come back.

Buster our server made the evening so enjoyable. His service was so attentive, and he was very clued in on what I could eat following a strict gluten free diet. He brought a menu clearly labelling what is available which put me at ease. As for the food, roast potatoes were the star of the show.

We had a great reception at Lilac for our wedding, and honestly couldn’t have done this without Arianna who is our venue coordinator! Lilac is great with the details and made all guests felt welcomed and cared, and the presentation of the food was also beautiful! Food was great and complimented a lot by the guests, all the staff were nice and kind for the whole night. We highly recommend Lilac if you have a special day to celebrate🤍
