Wow, what a delicious meal, all of our dishes were amazing, mouth watering in fact. The crab cakes were a great start, and the ribeye & fillet were requested medium rare, and were cooked to perfection! We were warmly greeted and experienced great service. I highly recommend Bossley.

We can’t thank the team at Bossley Restaurant and Bar enough for making our wedding day even more special. Our lunch there with our bridal party, photographer, and videographer was one of the absolute highlights of our day. It was the perfect chance to relax, soak in the moment with our closest friends, and enjoy some truly spectacular food and drinks. The experience was incredible from start to finish. The staff went above and beyond to make sure we felt welcomed and looked after. When I mentioned that my bridesmaids and I would need to leave for hair and makeup touch-ups, the team graciously encouraged us to stay and even accommodated our hair and makeup artists, ensuring they had everything they needed. This thoughtful gesture allowed us to feel pampered and at ease before heading off to our reception. Those couple of hours at Bossley were unforgettable, and we are already planning to come back to celebrate soon. The atmosphere, hospitality, and delicious offerings made it an experience we will always treasure. Thank you, Bossley, for making our day so fabulous!

We are so glad that we had a chance to have dinner at Bossley’s tonight. Food was absolutely delicious, dish sizes were quite good, prices reasonable and lovely staff. My personal favourites were ‘Rump Cap 200g, 28 days aged, Gippsland, VIC, smoked bone marrow butter, watercress’ and ‘Lakes Entrance King Dory, roasted fennel, lemon, almond, brown butter sauce’. Chips were nice and crispy. Both Tiramisu and Snickers desserts are yummy. If you are after a less sweet dessert, then go with Tiramisu, otherwise Snickers is very yummy , packed with peanuts dessert. The atmosphere was great, the only thing I would prefer less music, but given this is a bar too, it’s expected, I suppose. I would highly recommend having a meal at Bossley 😊

In the heart of the theatre district is this beautiful modern restaurant/bar We attended and ordered the 3 course pre theatre dining option at $79 per person which included a beer/wine or cocktail (great value) The food was presented lovely however lacked some flavour, was quite bland. We ordered the wagu beef croquettes and the steak for main The dessert was definitely king! The bossley snickers was to die for! Absolutely delish

Bossley’s Melbourne CBD ⭐️⭐️⭐️ (3/5) The experience was average overall. While the restaurant has a nice vibe, there were several misses that stood out. I asked for a custom cocktail due to my allergies (citrus and pineapple), but it still came with Cointreau, which contains citrus—disappointing attention to detail. I even had to ask for garnish, and another cocktail came with an entire lemon wedge instead of a delicate tuille of orange or lemon, which felt out of place. At an average of $24 per drink, the flavours weren’t balanced enough to justify the price. While the drinks looked pretty, optics shouldn’t count for more than flavour. The bathrooms didn’t match the vibe of the restaurant at all, feeling completely disconnected from the atmosphere. Not worth returning for me.
