Grill Americano reimagines Melbourne’s ’60s and ’80s Italian steakhouses. Highlights include tableside service, a bistecca alla Fiorentina, and sides like potato focaccia and mac’n’cheese. Desserts feature tiramisu and vanilla-meringue cake. The elegant space combines New York energy with Venetian style, featuring a marble bar, royal blue decor, and a 2000-bottle wine cellar.

Supernormal blends sleek, understated design with a warm, inviting atmosphere. The space, with its Japanese-inspired decor, features neon lights, vending machines, and even a basement karaoke room. A long, zinc-topped bar runs parallel to the open kitchen, where chefs prepare a menu influenced by Chinese, Korean, and Japanese flavours. Dishes like dumplings, ramen, and creative desserts, along with McConnell’s signature lobster rolls, highlight the dining experience.

Gimlet, nestled in the 1920s Cavendish House, blends old-world glamour with modern comfort. The space features high ceilings, art deco columns, and plush burgundy booths, creating a luxurious yet inviting vibe. The menu offers a refined selection of wood-fired meats and seafood, all paired perfectly with creative cocktails. Retro touches like a cheese trolley add to its timeless charm.
