nice dinner date spot, great atmosphere sitting at the open kitchen bar top.
service was great, completely flawless.
lamb shoulder and spanner crab toast are must orders.
diamond clams were also very nice.
tuna tartare was not bad but nothing special.
would not recommend the winter greens.
We were lucky to catch their oyster happy hour at $2 each, which was excellent value and very fresh. The Wagyu bresaola was a standout and easily one of the best we’ve had.
The O’Connor porterhouse and the chicken were both cooked beautifully and full of flavour — you can really sense the kitchen’s confidence in the quality of their ingredients and execution.
Overall, a very satisfying meal and a place that clearly knows what it’s doing.

Wow. Amazing restaurant. Fabulous food. Awesome vibes and friendly and knowledgeable staff. So wish this restaurant had a branch in London as I would happily eat there often.
Wonderful way to end my birthday, eating at Cumulus Inc. Our server was so lovely, bless him and even came to say bye before going on his break.
The food was incredibly delicious and worth the $95/£50. The presentation was perfect and the pairing of flavours worked so well too. Such an interesting menu too. Totally worth blowing my holiday daily budget for. Would go back in a heartbeat if I was staying another night in the city.
Buzzing vibe and it was busy but that added to the atmosphere beautifully.

Great night at Cumulus!
We had our end of financial year team dinner here and it was the perfect atmosphere for a team function. The set menu portions were excellent for dinner — just the right amount. The food was fresh, with great quality proteins and plenty of fibre-rich options that suited all dietary needs.
Our waitress was attentive, friendly and made sure everything ran smoothly throughout the evening. A special mention to Ritza, who made everyone feel genuinely welcome and added to the great experience.
A fantastic venue for team celebrations — we’ll definitely be back.

Melbourne really knows how to do food, and Cumulus Inc. was one of the restaurants I really enjoyed during my trip.
The service was impeccable, as I often found in Australia, and the atmosphere was lively, warm and very pleasant. The small plates came one after another and were all very good, with that relaxed but polished Melbourne feeling.
A great dinner spot and definitely worth visiting.
