5 star service and menu. We thoroughly enjoyed our sample menu lunch. From the moment we arrived we felt incredibly special. My husbands nut allergy did not detract from the flavour sensation.

We treated ourselves to the June omakase menu with wine pairing, and honestly, it was an experience worth writing home about (or at least posting a cheeky review for). True to fine dining form, the staff were warm and attentive, and the setting was spotless — not a napkin out of place. It made our special family gathering feel that extra bit more special. Even our 8-year-old was impressed — and that’s saying something. She gave the kids’ menu two thumbs up, followed by a surprise high five for the head chef. Pretty sure that moment is locked in as one of her core memories now. Safe to say, we’ll be back. Probably with the same kid, possibly with even higher expectations.

Had an unforgettable birthday dinner! The food was WONDERFUL and truly unique - definitely not your average dining experience. Presentation was stunning, and every bite was a delight. The cocktails were excellent too! The atmosphere was lively, but the noise level was a bit high due to a large group nearby. Would be great if they had a quieter area for tables, but overall, the experience was top-notch. Staff were friendly and made our celebration special. If you're looking for a memorable dining experience, look no further! 5/5 stars!

Unmatched. Have visited LuMi for years and it never disappoints. We casually mentioned we love the Lode pastry they used to serve. 5 minutes later there it was, they served it just for us. Truly special, every time.

Absolutely top tier casual fine dining. There are simply not enough words to describe the variety, tastes, and textures that came with each unique dish. The superlative blend between Japanese and Italian cuisines is simply wonderful. The location is very accessible, and the service was very good and attentive, with every dish being explained when it is served to you. Hurry up and make your booking if you haven't already.

My experience at Lumi tonight was BEYOND spectacular. Words cannot describe how amazing our night was, but I will attempt to in this review. Before even arriving, I called the restaurant to see if they were able to shift our booking to accommodate our slight change in schedule, to which the staff were so accommodating to my request! The food to say the least was an absolute DELIGHT! Never in my life have I ever experienced such unique and interesting tastes before. Every single bite of food was a FLAVOUR EXPLOSION! 🤯🤯🤯 Yet, the thing that sets Lumi apart from all the other fine dining restaurants I’ve visited is the superb service! Everyone was so attentive and thoughtful towards making our night so memorable. Big shout out to Will and the super knowledgeable bartender who I sadly didn’t catch the name of - thank you so much for making our dinner so special!!! 🥹☺️ I one hundred percent IMPLORE you to please give Lumi a visit ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️

Now we’re cookin’! We’ve dined here a couple of times and even though we’ve only gone with the tasting menu and not the full omakase, each visit has been great. Chef Federico has found the perfect fusion of Japanese and Italian cuisine and turned it into one of Sydney’s best dining experiences.

The food at Lumi Dining was creative, beautifully presented, and full of flavour. eEach dish felt perfectly balanced and thoughtfully crafted. The service matched the quality of the cuisine: attentive, professional, and genuinely warm without being overbearing. From the ambiance to the pacing of the meal, everything was seamless. Special thanks to Chef Federico for looking after us and making the experience even more memorable. A true highlight of Sydney’s fine dining scene, highly recommended.

We’ve been going to Lumi consistently for over five or six years and have always been blown away by their dishes and service. The highlights for me would be their snack game - each one looking pretty as a picture and even better to eat. We love it so much that we have spent our 20th to 23rd wedding anniversary each year there. Lumi is where you go if you want to celebrate a special occasion but even if you don’t have one - I’d suggest you make one up to enjoy the experience. Definitely my top two in Australia.

LuMi Dining – One of Sydney’s Quiet Masterpieces LuMi is not flashy. It doesn’t chase trends or shock value. Instead, it delivers one of the most refined, balanced and confident tasting menus I’ve had in Sydney. We had the full 18-course tasting, and every course felt intentional and thoughtfully paced. Highlights were exceptional — the abalone toast was deeply savoury and buttery with incredible umami depth; the beetroot and ocean trout with roe was beautifully balanced and precise; and the rosette dish showcased incredible knife work and restraint. The lobster pasta and the mains were outstanding, rich, perfectly cooked and deeply satisfying — everything worked, except the quail, which was technically good but less memorable than the rest. The seafood and fruit courses were bright and refreshing, and the desserts finished the meal with warmth and nostalgia rather than unnecessary theatrics. Service was calm, professional and well-paced, and the dining room felt serene and quietly luxurious. LuMi is a restaurant for people who appreciate precision, balance and confidence in cooking rather than hype. A destination restaurant, and easily one of Sydney’s most memorable fine-dining experiences. Highly recommended.
