LuMi Dining in Pyrmont

Took my mum here and we had the Omakase menu and everything was stunning. The marron, toothfish, egg and coffee dessert were all standouts. It does take a few hours and it s a lot of food so bear that in mind when booking the time and go hungry. Staff and service were outstanding. The wine pairing also went perfectly with the food. Highly recommend will definitely visit again.

Where do I start? I ve been hearing good things about this restaurant for a long time, so I had high expectations. Came here for my anniversary celebration and the service did not disappoint, lovely staff. Unfortunately the food (starters) were good but nothing special at all, with exception of perhaps the greatest oysters I had in Sydney. The mains in other hand were all delicious and well presented. Good experience but a bit overpriced for what you get. I missed a bit of the fine-dining wow over the courses.

The food and overall taste felt very average for the price. One dish came with ice on an empty oyster shell no oyster, no meat just ice, which was quite surprising and disappointing. Many dishes were heavy with cheese, butter, and cream, leaving the meal feeling overly rich by the end. The attention to detail and the elevated standards expected from a fine dining restaurant were noticeably missing. Overall, it was an underwhelming experience, and I wouldn t return or recommend it to others.

Best place Ive ever eaten in my life. I usually avoid fine dining due to the price tag as I cant understand spending so much for food. However so many people have told me to just try Lumi Dining just once. I booked it for my girlfriends birthday and we were blown away. Every single dish was amazing. There were some dishes where I didnt even know what I was eating and it tasted literally out of this world. Definitely must try.

Everything about this restaurant is exceptional. The location, the food, the knowledgeable staff and did I mention the incredible food! The combination of flavours, cuisines and the beautiful balance of all these elements will leave you wanting more. Definitely worth the experience

Amazing food and great service!! What an experience. A must in Sydney!!

We had the most beautifully whimsical afternoon . Thank you

The food it s not giving me any sparkle moment, on the contrary, some dishes taste really wired. We don t mind novelty, but that doesn t mean a simple combination of all different flavours together without balance. We were wondering if the chef tastes the food themselves. Presentation it s very ordinary as well. I feel like they are trying to use fancy plates to disguise their ordinary food. Lumi it s not the only fine dining restaurant we ve been to. Being my birthday dinner it s very disappointing. 2nd big thing. 3/4 of the dinner, I started to feel sick, really nauseous. The oyster doesn t tastes fresh, together with the wine that waitress recommended, I vomit in their bathroom. I told waitress about my condition, guess what they said: It must be from the food you had before. And the nauseous feeling they said you could had virus or bacteria infection prior, which could be 24 hrs lag I had Korean BQQ for lunch which was completely well cooked. I know I feel sick from their food . I just can t prove it. Then I searched their review, and guess what I found another review commenting un fresh oysters! We ended up paying full bill, skipped dessert and left. Had they handle this matter better, they wouldn t get this 1 star review from me.

We went to Lumi last week to celebrate my partner s birthday, following a recommendation from his sister, who s a huge foodie. And we were not disappointed at all! The snacks, entrees, and main dishes were delicious. Sitting at the bar really made a huge difference, as we could feel the intensity of the kitchen firsthand. A staff member actually called me an hour before our reservation to offer us the bar seats, and I m so glad I said yes. The bar chairs were comfortable as well, which added to the experience. The service was very good as well. The staff were friendly and highly accommodating. I d like to thank the server who suggested we order just one serve of the tagliolini to share between us it worked perfectly, as we wanted to taste it without having large portions, so we could save room for other dishes. Aside from the food, my partner and I both agreed that one of the highlights was the wine pairing, guided by the amazing sommelier, Julia (I apologise if I m not remembering her name correctly). She was incredibly friendly, knowledgeable, and passionate - it felt like we were traveling through Italy with her as she shared stories about the winemakers and their unique techniques. Her insights encouraged us to appreciate the details of each dish and its paired wine, which truly enhanced our experience. I m usually not a huge fan of white wines, but my favourite wine of the night ended up being a white that was paired with the crudo. Personally, I would choose the standard wine pairing again over the premium, as the premium starts with the entrees, which would be a bit much for me. A personal highlight was sitting right by the dessert making station. I bake and make ice creams at home as a hobby, so watching the pastry chef meticulously prepare the desserts was fascinating. The desserts themselves were perfect. I can t handle overly sour flavours, and the blueberry ice cream struck a lovely balance - not too sweet or sour but refreshing. We enjoyed the other desserts just as much. The only part that could have been better was the timing of one snack. While we were enjoying the first main dish (the crudo), we were served a snack that they said was a kitchen special, with fried chicken skin. It was okay, but I felt it would have been better served earlier. The crudo was light and refreshing, but that feeling was quickly overshadowed by the oiliness of the snack. My partner noticed that the couple next to us received the snack earlier, so perhaps there was a mix-up. It was a minor disappointment, as we were really savouring the crudo. We ended up spending around $510 per person, but we have no regrets. It was a very enjoyable experience, and we would definitely return.

We visited Lumi Dining to celebrate a friend s birthday yesterday and had a great time. Lumi is a Japanese-Italian fusion restaurant and we went for the tasting menu. The food was impressive and the standout dishes were the gunkan, crudo, toothfish, and desserts, especially the blueberry rose dessert! The quail dish was not my favourite, however, my friends enjoyed it. The staff were efficient and the dishes were brought out quickly, However, once the final course was served, the staff s attentiveness seemed to wane where it took a bit too long to get the bill.

Food was very good and inventive (Sample tasting menu). Cocktail nothing special (Divino). Auto selecting a 10% tip before handing you the machine is not on, don t do that.

It was very noisy and the food was served slowly. It took 2.5 hours to eat dinner. It felt too slow and the taste was average. I felt it was not worth the price at all. It may also be that the Chinese taste is not suitable

delicious! Kid-friendliness: They offer Kids menu which is still so fancy so kids can enjoy the night too. Kids will be getting gourmet pasta, toothfish & quenelled ice cream, while the grown ups get the full on Omakase menu, everybody enjoys.

After many visits I think I m done. Definitely too much complacency going on these days. As always food and snacks presentation is beautiful, but there s just something missing (agree with some of the recent reviews saying something similar). Service is also lacking - sometimes extremely rushed, sometimes we had extended periods between courses couldn t figure out any pattern. The Sommelier we had most recently seemed disinterested and was likely stretched too thin - staffing issues perhaps? Overall, just not the vibe we re after when going out of our way to get to the venue (or for the price).

My partner and I were there on my pre- birthday I really happy and satisfied with all the food and services They made my day Thank you so much Food : 5/5

food is normal.. service is rlly good Food

Impeccable service, great atmosphere. Food is exceptional. Well priced for the experience and the quality that goes into the preparation of the dishes. Will never understand how the hours go so quick when dining here!

Go here every year for my wedding anniversay and it never disappoints. Planning to keep going and highly recommended.

Great position on the water, service was awesome and the food was amazing. All our serving staff knew their stuff and was attentive to our needs. Food was a great mix of surprises and pacing was excellent. The Entrees are to die for. We did the omakase- excellent value for the amount of food served- The extra options Taglioni Pasta in this instance is a must order.

Lumi Dining is a must-visit for anniversaries in Sydney. As an Italian-Japanese restaurant, I think Lumi Dining is the best dining spot in Sydney. The staff were also very friendly, and we had a great time.

The menu was fairly comprehensive and the food was very tasty. For $350 a head I had very high expectations that I felt weren t met. When I walked in for my 8:30 reservation I was seated at 9. After I was seated the waiter was very helpful and made our experience enjoyable. We sat at the bar so we could watch the kitchen, this was the highlight of our night, without watching the prep and kitchen I would consider the experience a bit of a waste. This place uses a lot of technique on the food they cook but for me that s something that s lost as I couldn t appreciate it to its fullest. I originally thought the menu was very creative but when I looked at other reviews it appears the menu has remained largely unchanged for an extended period of time. Overall I d say give it a go but don t have high expectations.

Lumi has really improved since 5+years ago when I last visited. Now easily in top 3 in terms of food amongst Sydneys 2 and 3 hat restaurants.

Amazing dining experience. Everything and the attention to detail from the moment we arrived. Once in a lifetime does a restaurant like Lumi come into your life.

Quite possibly one of the best fine dining restaurants in all of sydney. I have been to quite a few fine dining places around sydney but i can say with certainty, nothing compares to Lumi in terms of both the presentation of dishes as well as the flavour. I m not usually a big fan of seafood (especially not raw), however i loved every dish i had on the night, even the uni! I will definitely be back again.

Wonderful and delicious. Very helpful and informative staff. Your sommelier and mixologist offered great advice on wine and cocktails. Thanks for a memorable experience. Noise level was high but tolerable.

It was my first time dining at LuMi and was I blown away. I ordered the Omakase menu and not one dish disappointed me. Although every single course was outstanding, my favourites had to be the Pie Tee, Potato & Wagyu, and the Marron. All the desserts were god tier and truly completed the end of the experience. I couldn t have asked for a better gastronomic journey. Chef Federico is genuinely a master of his craft.

This is top shelf dining, service and location. Weve been to LuMi about 6-7 times all up across the years, including the now retired Friday four course lunch. The food is absolutely outstanding, service impeccable and the light filled room is fabulous during the day and its all sparkles outside at night. No one else is doing food like this in Sydney, mixing Japanese and Italian with great effect. Big #chapeu to the whole team. My score 18/20. We had the standard tasting menu and arrived via the Light Rail. Just go.

Always amazing

Great venue for a long lunch. All the staff are charismatic and attentive. The food is excellent, my favourite being the Kombu snack and chawanmushi. Umeshu cocktails were colourful and well balanced, some of the best in town. Looking for to the next visit

Highly disappointing. The last time I came here the food and experience was amazing. Have been wanting to dine here ever since, and finally did over the weekend.. but sadly it did not meet expectations. The menu was heavily japanese influenced which was unexpected.. I would go to an actual Japanese restaurant if I wanted that. Where was the Italian / Australian fusion? There was none, except for one pasta dish and a pie. Some dishes were very salty. The service felt robotic but understandably they were busy. It was for a birthday celebration and they gave a birthday plaque on the dessert.. expected something more special / personal, like a handwritten happy birthday and a candle.. that basically was the anticlimax for an overall lacklustre dining experience. For a $600 dinner for two, this was highly disappointing. A shame, as a few years ago this place was incredible..

The food was great, and the service impeccable - warm friendly and engaging. It is work visiting for those reasons alone. I do however have a few constructive criticisms. The restaurant is very dark (obviously we visited in the night ) - to the extent that other tables were using mobile phones and table lights to read menus etc. its also open plan and has loud music playing. Making it difficult to hear the staff and each. However towards the end of the night this did resolve itself. In general, its well work a visit, but if you have hearing or night vision problems perhaps think about visiting in the day or a quiet period - its worth it for the food.

What a delightful meal with surprises all the way. Such a wonderfully inventive combination of Italian and Japanese flavours was beyond my imagining - before I got to try them. Thanks to Federico and the team for such a wonderful evening. We had the Omakase menu and were not disappointed by the wonders that kept coming throughout the evening. There wasnt one course that I found disappointing, in fact most I found unbelievably wonderful.

I just had a very disappointing birthday dinner at LuMi. Probably the worst birthday dinner experience I have ever had. The food was ok. Some dishes were extremely salty (leading to us drinking two glasses of water, which, interestingly weren t refilled until we asked). Several dishes had excellent seafood which was eclipsed by poor choice of sauces with heavy handed flavours to the point that you could barely taste the seafood. Most dishes were too busy with lots of ingredients that didn t seem to go together and foam foam everywhere. The desserts were actually good but we were so annoyed and bored by that time that we couldn t really enjoy them properly. The service was a complete let down. The beginning of our omakase felt rushed to the point that they brought out the next course before we had finished the current plate and took away my partners empty plate before I had finished mine. We had to ask our water glasses to be filled twice and not once were we asked whether the meals were to our liking. Towards the end of the meal it felt like a never ending wait between course. No one paid us any attention as we were leaving other than a harassed (?head) chef who shouted thanks from the kitchen. The biggest annoyance was the atmosphere of the restaurant. If you are not deafened by the awful loud music, you will definitely lose your hearing from the sound of the patrons constantly screaming across their tables trying to have a conversation with each other over the music. The chaos of the kitchen was clearly audible in the din and added to the noise. At almost 400 dollars per head (that is without any drinks) you would expect a better meal, better service and definitely better soundproofing.

Amazing artistically presented dishes and very attentive service. I received a Lumi dining experience as a gift from my family and it was a fantastic dining experience. While I have had degustation dinners before, the Lumi 12 course tasting menu was exceptional. It was well planned and each one of dishes was delicious. The service staff took care to explain each dish and keep our wine and water glasses filled. The sake selection is quite extensive and well matched with the food. Vegetarian options: My partner is vegetarian and he was happy with all of his 12 courses. Lumi took care to make sure our courses looked visually similar so that we had a shared experience even though the contents of dishes were different. Dietary restrictions: They served a very good poultry and fish menu as I do not have any red meats or pork. Each dish was unique.

Every single dish and bite was an absolute taste sensation , amazing service and no rushing. Even the wine pairing was perfect !

Birthday dinner, where to begin Service: Honestly, perfect. Everyone who came to our table was incredible. Friendly, chatty (but not overly) and still very professional. Couldn t have been better balanced. Atmosphere: We were in a little section near a wine fridge and cellar thing. Was nice and peaceful and kind of private. Food: Unbelievable. Every bite. I don t even want to say anything else because I won t be able to do it justice. It was fkn amazing. So yeah, you can say I enjoyed it.

Had an amazing experience. Staff is super friendly and attentive. All dishes met the high expectation. And especially the special limited dish the Chef recommended, the fish was solo soft and just melted in the mouth. Couldnt think any other food anymore for the whole night. Only the dessert was a bit down but probably the expectation was raised too high after the whole surprising night, but still top dining restaurant

Incredible food, service & atmosphere. Thank you LuMi Dining team.

Lumi dining is one of the best restaurants in Sydney for me foods tasted amazing and atmosphere was so nice. We had omakase menu. My favorite was Pie Tee, Potato & Wagyu, Scampi toast, Lobster chawanmushi. Unfortunately they didn t have sea urchin Gunkan that day :( I like sea urchin so much so it was a shame. Scampi Gunkan was good though;)

Always perfection whenever we dine here. Cannot fault any of their dishes over many years we have been visiting.

I recently visited Lumi Dining. I have visited Lumi so many times. Lumi was my numero uno of fine dining restaurant in NSW. However, the last visit I was slightly disappointed with the service - in term of the tempo of the food served. There was a gap of 40 mins from my scallop crudo to marron. It might ve had a bit of situation in the kitchen, maybe? In addition, the bread (croissant) normally part of the degustation menu but not on this visit. We asked for it and it was the additional cost (which is fine with us to pay additional. But it was not advised in any forms - while the other patrons sat next to us were served the bread/croissant). Other than that, people from kitchen to floor are so nice, warm and friendly. JM is always a superstar! Food never disappoints us.

Phenomenal dessert and creative combinations. Great for a special occasion, although maybe a little bit overpriced considering portion size of the mains

Lumi was the best dining experience we ve ever had in Sydney! We chose the omakase set menu. The restaurant venue seems a bit outdated so not going to lie, I was a bit skeptical, but boy was I wrong. Every single snack, entrée, main, and dessert was absolutely amazing 10/10 across the board. The flavors and presentation exceeded our expectations, and it s safe to say that Lumi has easily become one of our favorite restaurants. We will revisit without fail when we return to Sydney. The entire experience was flawless, and we were not disappointed at all, which is incredibly hard to achieve. Highly recommend

Over the years have dined here a few times and it has always been so good. Amazing mix of flavours in each dish, great presentation and cosy atmosphere. No idea how there are any reviews that are under 5 stars. If I had the funds I d dine here every night of the week. Was lucky enough to enjoy their take home dinner meals during the first covid lockdown, feast on fresh breads and pastries the lockdowns after that and now able to restart dining back in the restaurant.

In my opinion, one of the best if not the best restaurants in Sydney! Dietary restrictions: Available Food : 5/5 |

Exceptional culinary craftsmanship Professional service Food

We chose the $255 pp tasting menu as we found the Omakase $350 included almost identical food as the tasting menu but a few more items. Food was delicious, innovative and nicely presented. Staff were friendly and courteous. As the staff were pretty diversified, background music was a little loud that it would be great if they considered including more descriptions, information or details of the ingredients in the menu. It would help patrons a lot to get to know each dish better. Glad that we didn t choose the omakase as it was being served at the table , nothing different to the way tasting menu was served. It lacked the interactions with the chef as other omakase chef would have a small talk in between dishes .

One of the best restaurants in Sydney. The dishes are very innovative, portions are just right. Service is prompt and the staff takes time to explain every single dish. We had Omakase menu, quite a few dishes but thoroughly enjoyed it! Dietary restrictions: Omakase menu was especially modified to cater to pescatarians.

Celebrated my birthday here with the hubby. I have been here a few years ago and loved the food then and I can say I loved the food this time too. Service was impeccable as expected. We went for dinner and I felt it was very dark. I think I would prefer to go again during lunch. Parking: Ample parking available at the Star and it is a short walk to Lumi through the park.

I had high expectations for this place, especially from what I ve heard from others, but I quickly realised I shouldn t be taking good advice from instagram addicted girls. As per my photos, the food presents well. But that s about as good as it gets. There was an abundance of people, in a tight space, making it hard to hear ourselves and hold a conversation. The seat near the window absolutely destroyed my back. The food was below average, maybe a 3/10 at best, not sure who they bribed to get any of the awards I heard they have. They messed up our order of the extras we wanted and overcharged for truffle we didn t ask for. And worst of all, they knew it was my girlfriend s birthday and didn t bring out a little candle or anything. Pretty poor effort from that perspective. Not to complain about the price, there s just better places to take your money.

Excellent experience, we had to go early becuase of a family emergency but they understood and allowed us to come back later to finish off our mean free of Charge!!!

An exceptional dining experience. You will remember the individual dishes that packed a flavoursome punch. Nice location. Friendly staff. Great wines.

This was on a last minute desperate attempt to find a spot for dinner, but this place did not disappoint! We went all out with the Omakase menu and wine degustation and it was simply amazing. Will definitely go back to enjoy it again! Definitely recommend to sit at the kitchen bench, watching the chefs at work is real entertainment, and bonus when asking questions on the food chefs are happy to share tips and food! Dietary restrictions: Gluten free

Its better than great. Its worth the price and would be the place for you if you want decent and creative italian food. Good plasce have a date or celebrate special occasions.

Absolutely amazing experience. We will be back for my birthday! Keep thinking about each unique dish even the day after. Well done team.

Ive had the pleasure of dining at this remarkable restaurant for the fifth time, and each visit continues to surpass my expectations. Undoubtedly, this restaurant is the best in Sydney. Its unique blend of Italian and Japanese flavors is a culinary triumph, and I cant wait to return for my sixth visit and beyond.

I got the omakase set and it was the highest CP fine dining I ve ever had. Great ambiance and amazing food. This is the first time I ve ever walked out of fine dining FULL as well! Highly recommend.

Fave Sydney restaurant!!! So good!

I recently dined at Lumi and was thoroughly impressed by the perfection of everything. The agnolotti was the best Ive ever had, an explosion of flavor in the mouth. Service is impeccable! Anastasia is such a gem, always ensuring every detail was taken care of. Massive thanks to GianMarco for his professionalism and making us feel truly special. Lumi is a dining experience not to be missed!

Delicious Italian and Japanese creative cuisine at Darling Harbour, good service, great atmosphere, perfect dining experience

True fine dining at its very best! Team Federico is truly amazing, not just staff but experts in their field and will deliver on food and service that exceeds many 3 star Michelin-starred restaurants that I have experienced. Chef Federico and Team, Thank you for a lovely Friday evening, it was perfect as always, looking forward to seeing you soon!

Savour each bite!! Savour each mouthful !! An explosion of amazing flavours with every dish Talented Chef Federico Zanellato nails it every time A superb omakase menu that transports you to a CULINARY UTOPIA!

We came to celebrate our anniversary & LOVED our experience here. Service was warm & thoughtful throughout. We so appreciated having the corner table near the water. The food was exceptional. I have never come out of a fine dining experience with so many standout dishes, deciding on a favourite would be impossible. One small feedback I have is that some waiters are less audible than others. I enjoy knowing & remembering the contents of each dish but they not written anywhere, so if they arent clearly spoken I am unable to fully appreciate the details of the food. Brilliant work here & compliments to every worker that is a part of running this establishment. It is a blessing to live local, & I am eager to return.

Amazing. Go for the omakase you wont be disappointed. The bartendress was amazing as well and cocktails were top notch

(4.5 stars) LuMi remains in the upper echelon of Sydney s fine diners but some things were lost in translation during my last visit. Considered as a whole, the omakase ($350/person) snack selection remains an impressive onslaught of eye-catching and innovative bites. Jeju Island tangerine burst on the palate before giving way for sweet amaebi prawns in a spinach and parsley tart buried under carrot chiffonade. By contrast, David Blackmore wagyu tartare was hard to find amidst the flavour of browned food caused by the Maillard reaction when the underlying potato cake was taken too far. The gunkan, or war boat of uni, stracciatella and koshihikari rice is a seductive and thrilling experience enhanced by the soft, round mouth-strokes of the Miyoshino Jozo Hanatomoe ($180/720ml). The same homage to a luxury ingredient Moreton Bay bugs felt lacking in tiny beetroot cannolo dominated by smoked rainbow trout rillettes. The stroopwafel smeared in a honey-topped mousse of Emmental, Comté and Manchego should have been a pre-dessert. Whispering a promise of spring, snapper crudo is vividly green. Cucumber and wasabi dressing, diced grapes, pickled fennel, kiwi fruit, tomatillo and caramelised pepitas for textural interest play well together and leave a hole to taste the fish. The eastern rock lobster gets subsumed in a curry bisque chawanmushi. In too many cases exciting produce is lost under all the bells and whistles needed to justify a $350 degustation price point. This isn t helped by impenetrable accents and rushed dish descriptions which made it hard to understand what we were eating. West Australian marron is a delicious dish, but it took repeated questions across two different staff members to uncover the hibachi-grilled marron came with a green paste of garlic, lemongrass, dill and sugar snaps. Upgrading to the Moriki Shuzo Tae no Hana Yamahai ($180/720ml) sake is a good choice with the richer end of the meal. With yeast and mushroom notes it copes when liquid agnolotti go bang under a frothy wave of beurre blanc, sage oil and veal jus, and pork terrine arrives wrapped in (too-dominant) Parma ham against rosemary, date and black garlic in a dish that reminded me of Xmas. Set on spongey French meringue, blueberry and rose was the standout of the two desserts the other being coffee, cinnamon, Pedro Ximinez and ricotta mousse that both utilised the same experiential cold quenelle format. Portion sizes and pacing were both strengths here, and despite Lumi feeling understaffed for the price point, when they were able to take a breath from rapid fire dish delivery, floor staff showed a great willingness to please.

Incredible experience as always at Lumi. Thank you.

Exceptional experience at Lumi Dining, we were a very late booking due to a cancelled flight and the team were beyond accomodating. Often with my crustacean allergy I miss out on some things but their substitutions were absolutely incredible. Staff were friendly and hospitable and food delightful. Highly recommend, as fine dining restaurant owners ourselves we were very impressed.

We had wonderful lunch at Lumi , the food was incredible, our taste buds were truly tantalised. The staff were friendly and professional. Look forward to returning soon. Food : 5/5

Outstanding Omakase Aesthetically Pleasing Food : 5/5

Good food - feels like japanese inspired italian food. Interesting interpretation.

The location was special overlooking the marina. Attentive yet relaxed service. The lobster pasta was next level. The fusion of Japanese and French cuisine just genius. A fine dining experience indeed.

Lumi - what an experience, undoubtedly one of Sydney s food lovers hot spots. The food is out of this world, the atmosphere and passion shown by all chefs, floor staff and the bar man Andreas who s infectious personality and his craft to make every drink you order just perfect was so good to watch , you can see all the food and drinks being prepared for you . Shout out to head chef/owner as you have created a good feeling restaurant which makes you happy and fulfilled. Wine list is impeccable !! Can t wait to go back . Heaven !!. . Parking: Easy, park & Star and simply walk across the road.

What a night ! Best experience i got in Sydney, the food was amazing, cocktails, wines. The atmosphere of this restaurant is special. You can see passionate chefs, passionate bartenders and waiters as well. Thanks LuMi Dining a flawless night. Food

Food was great but the service was average. Food was just placed on the table without any explanation. Atmosphere was a bunch of people looking into their phones the whole time. Certainly not worth the price.

The restaurant was booked out so only bar seating available and it was the best seat in the house! We got to see all the actions in the kitchen, how clean and tidy it is and how every dish was precisely done and prepared efficiently. The sommelier recommended us the best Italian red wine we d ever had. The food was amazing as well, definitely worth the price ($255 pp) Vegetarian options: They also have a vegetarian set menu for the same price at $255 pp

Amazing dinner! Agnolotti are our favourite dish <3

Enjoyed a family dinner. Food was delicious.

We went there with my partner and 2 year old daughter for my birthday. Lovely atmosphere with impeccable service, the staff looked after us very well. I loved it that they had an option for kids as well which was one of the reasons why we picked this place. The food was exquisite, really fresh produce elegantly presented. You must like raw seafood to enjoy most of the menu here though. I think the chef hats they ve been getting over the years are well deserved. Kid-friendliness: They have a separate 4 course kids tasting menu

Best restaurant in Sydney. Food is unlike anything else in Sydney and the staff are fantastic. Vegetarian options: They have a full vegetarian menu

Delicious food, excellent service. They catered very well for gluten free.

8 years since we ate here and still just as good. Was one of the main reasons we travelled to Sydney from Auckland.

Hands down the best gastronomic experience in Sydney!

There is basically no fire. All food is cold. The room is also very cold. The food is exquisite and the service is very good.

We had an excellent time celebrating Mother s Day. The experience was a bit long however food was truly a work of art! Dietary restrictions: Able to accommodate no pork

One of Sydneys best culinary degustation menus weve had in a while! The food was not only very delicious but the presentation including the dishes on which it was served was artistic. We all loved it and couldnt fault any dish!

I was given a $500 voucher by my daughter for paying for her wedding last year and I must say this was probably one of my most interesting dining experiences. No question, it was expensive but worth every $. The flavours and presentation were 1st class, the service was terrific, the wines outstanding and overall a brilliant dining experience

Absolutely stunning meal. My husband and I both felt it was in one of the top 5 restaurants of all time for us.

My favorite Restaurant in Sydney........ Vegetarian options: Just let them know when you book and they substitute for vegan Dietary restrictions: The Chefs cater for restrictions by making a separate dish or working around it. Wheelchair accessibility: All flat level. And wide doors for entry.

Thank you Lumi, had New Years Eve dinner with you. It was great, food fabulous as always. Thank you for a lovely evening . The snacks were truly exceptional, loved the biscuit wafer with cheese. Went to Lumi Easter Sunday, a different menu, was exceptional as usual

Brilliant food combinations and great wine matching. So imaginative we were impressed by every dish. The wait staff were informative, attentive but not intrusive. Parking: Lots of spaces along the main road.

TLDR: My second visit and personally for me one of my FAV ever in Sydney It s SO expensive but I still want to come back, their snacks are the best I ve ever tried compared to other fine dining places Their menu is always changing but their snacks never misses. Mains can be a bit of hit or miss, but compared to my visit from Nov 2022, I enjoyed this visits (Feb 2024) menu way more especially the Marron. It s located by the water, also near The Star in Pyrmont so the views are great! Love the vibes and service as well. Perfect for a special occasion like birthdays or anniversaries.

Excellent food and service

I had the pleasure of dining at this fantastic fusion restaurant, and I cant say enough good things about my experience. Their professionalism and dedication to making my dining experience enjoyable was truly exceptional. The presentation of each dish was a work of art, and the flavours were a harmonious blend of diverse cuisines.

The cuisine was exceptional, surpassing many renowned Michelin-starred restaurants in Hong Kong and Japan. However, the service lacked customer interaction, and certain sofa seats had limited legroom, resulting in discomfort. It was necessary to request a seat change for greater comfort.

We dined here on Saturday evening for my wife s birthday. The food was magnificent. A Japanese/italian fusion. We thoroughly enjoyed all the courses. The wine pairing was excellent and the cocktails were also brilliant. We will certainly be coming back later this year, perhaps at a slightly earlier time slot so we can enjoy the water views.

Food portions are too small, not worth the price offered.

Had a lovely dinner on Saturday night for a friends birthday. The service, location and food were all fantastic. Couldnt pick a favourite dish as each new dish was just as delicious as the one that came before it.

Spectacular! This is the best dining experience Sydney can offer. Every time we come back it exceeds our expectations.

Second time to dine here. Food is delicious and presentation is very good. Atmosphere and open kitchen is great. Wait staff should be a little pushy to upsell for extras.

Perfect place to celebrate a special occasion. We ve been three times and it is consistently some of the best food in Sydney. Definitely try the omakase!

Bravo! What an amazing experience. Not often do you get exceptional food, wonderful service and million dollar views - Lumi excels in all three. The seafood were so fresh there was not a hint of after-taste that typically comes with seafood. The sophisticated techniques used was on show with the sea urchin, where you are left savouring the flavours and the melting softness of the sea urchin without the pungency that accompanies it. Each dish was complex, combining a host of ingredients that belong to each other; and textures were well thought out to make sure it enhances the flavours. This is a demonstration of cooking of the highest skills. Service was impeccable - balance between making sure our table is constantly clear of debris, topping our water, and yet making our dining experience feel very private. Worth every cent we paid for.

I recently went to Oncore, which is highly rated, and LuMi was 10x better. The food, service, ambience and the passion of the staff (especially the sommelier and mixologist) was fantastic. Most places take the time to explain the food and wine, but these guys did it with a noticeable and genuine underlying love for what they do - a distinct difference. They were also fun and not too stiff for a fine dining restaurant, the perfect balance! We had a great time across the board and couldnt fault it. Will be back for sure.

Mind blowing experience, food, atmosphere, servcie and the views are all A+. The tasting menu is nothing but a mind blowing delight and worth every cent, quite possibly the best restaurant in Sydney. Food

Excellent service, very considerate from the staff when introducing and serving the food, especially they can all remember I have a friend who has allergy to raw oyster! Food quality is top-class I have to say. In my opinion, if under Michelin standard, it should be either 1 star or 2 stars restaurant. As a tourist, I would like to come back again!

Was absolutely blow away by our lunch at Lumi Dining on Saturday. 18 courses of perfection! The 4 of us agreed it was one of the best degustations weve ever had. The sommelier was fantasic and explained in detail every matching wine, and did so well selecting a delicious chardonnay by the bottle for us. Worked out at around $600 a head incluluding tip, and I have zero regrets.

I just wanted to thanks the All Lumi team for our sensationnal dinner last saturday night. The food was amazing and the service never disappointed, even though I went there many times. They always step up their games. We are looking forward to go back again. Thank you guys SO MUCH.

During my vacation, I had the immense pleasure of dining at a remarkable restaurant that undoubtedly deserves a five-star rating. From the moment I walked in, the experience was nothing short of spectacular, setting a high benchmark for culinary excellence. The food was simply amazing, transcending the typical dining experience into something truly memorable. It was, without a doubt, the best meal of my vacation, showcasing a masterful blend of flavors that left me eager for more. Each dish was a testament to the chefs prowess and dedication to quality. Speaking of the chef, their presence added a unique touch to our dining experience. The chef was not only great at their craft but also incredibly nice, providing us with lots of personal attention. This gesture made the meal feel special and personalized, enhancing the overall experience. The staff mirrored the chefs friendliness and professionalism. Every team member we interacted with was incredible, displaying a genuine warmth and making us feel truly welcome. Their attentive service played a crucial role in making our visit memorable. The ambiance of the restaurant was equally impressive. It boasted a great atmosphere that perfectly complemented the dining experience. The thoughtful decor and comfortable setting created a relaxing environment that enhanced the enjoyment of our meal. In conclusion, this restaurant is a gem that I would not only return to but also highly recommend to others. Whether its the delectable food, the exceptional service, or the inviting ambiance, it checks all the boxes for a must-visit dining destination.

LuMi is undoubtedly the best restaurant Ive ever experienced. A huge thank you to the entire team for making our day so exceptional and unforgettable.

Interesting place. Food was lovely, the snacks section and the angiolotti and marron were my favourite. Deserts way too cold, every filling in our heads zinged. Ambiance was truly awful every diner scrolling their mobile phones, bit like being at a two hatted Maccas really.

Dinned here on a Friday evening. Upon our arrival for 830pm our table wasnt ready so we were sat by the bar. It was a great opportunity to be a spectator of the kitchen operation. Once seated the waitress explained the 2 menus and from there we chose the larger menu and i dont regret it. The food was very free flowing. Most of the food was layered with a variety of textures and flavours which shined a light on the culinary excellence we paid for. Over all the food was 5/5. Given the price tag for the evening, some of the flaws were that some of the front of house staff were sub parr compared to other competitors. Being seated for +3 hours the chairs were very uncomfortable after a while. Is this a must try venue? Yes! Parking: Street parking was very full. Only 1 - 2 hour paid parking. We were parked for 3.5 hours and didnt get a fine considering there were parking rangers around once we parked. To be safe, perhaps arrange parking in the casino across the road.

Amazing food, service and ambience

Food was absolutely delicious and the place was super fancy!!

Visited Lumi with my partner for our anniversary and were blown away by the food and the service. We got the $350 omakase menu. The food was fantastic and we walked away feeling more than full. I particularly enjoyed the view of the kitchen area, where you can watch chefs prepare dishes. There was a couple seated near us, in which the lady had too much to drink, and was unfortunately throwing up at her table. The staff handled the situation so well and provided top notch service to them despite the situation potentially putting off other customers. The staff catered to them until she was feeling better then continued serving them their food. Overall it was a fantastic experience and I would absolutely visit again.

My friends and I came here to celebrate my birthday and it was an inspired choice. The food is absolutely amazing, the service is friendly and attentive, and the views are just beautiful. It was a perfect and magical evening, and we will certainly be back.

Had Omakase. Positives: Everything about the food was on point. Plating, presentation, explanation of the dishes from the FOH staff, taste all exceptional and befitting of the price point. Nothing to complain about the food. The FOH team was attentive and regularly checked on us to see if we needed anything and filled our water glasses. They were also quick to fold our napkins whenever we had to use the restroom during the dinner service from sipping too much water. Areas to improve: - We noticed that some tables received wet towels to wipe their hands before service however this was not offered to us. - While the menu was very concise and the FOH staff explained what was in each dish as it came out, it would have been helpful to have the menu describe the main components of each dish to better appreciate the overall experience and craftsmanship behind the dishes. - The overall service was quite long (almost 4 hrs from when we arrived). Im not sure if this is expected for 18 dishes Omakase style. There was a 40-minute delay between the last starter and the first of the mains being served (Crudo) and we had to ask how much longer it would take for the mains to be served. - During the first few starters we noticed the staff were not wiping away the crumbs on the table in-between plates and we had to ask. After we asked them to wipe the table once, they continued to do so when needed for the rest of the service. It would have been perfect if they noticed a little bit earlier. - We observed near the beginning of the service the Chef and Owner Federico looking frustrated and stressed at a particular section of the kitchen. We witnessed him yelling and kicking equipment near the plating station out of anger or frustration. At the time the restaurant was not yet full and there were no customers at the bar. However, i wonder how the customers would have felt if they had witnessed these scenes right in front of their seats. Interestingly enough, once the night progressed and the restaurant was even busier, the kitchen was calm and it seemed like everything was running smoothly.

Food was exquisite, I would come again and again!!! Dietary restrictions: They also had a very nice alternatives to crustacean allergies Food : 5/5 |

Went for birthday dinner. Beautiful view and great service. Amuse bouche were very salty but after that everything was excellent especially steak was amazing! Really enjoyed dining in Lumi. Recommend!

Perfect food, impeccable service, delightful atmosphere. Thank you LuMi.

What a sensational place. The food, the service and the atmosphere are faultless. This place is special and it will be an experience we ll never forget. Thank you so much!

What a wonderful evening we all enjoyed at LuMi. Three of us celebrated a birthday with top shelf and interesting food. The food was topped off by a fantastic and interesting wine pairings. The sommelier really knew his stuff, he was interested in our different tastes and accommodated them.He was an asset to the restaurant and to us. Thank you. I would really recommend LuMi for a special night out. HOT TIP - go early so you can watch the evening come in.

Simply the best restaurant in Sydney. The chef is a genius. Italian, Japanese, French influences. get ready for a tour de force!

OUTSTANDING DINING EXPERIENCE

LuMi is perfection at every level. This is hands down the best restaurant in Sydney and one of the top in the world. The food is sublime from the otters to the snacks down to the desserts. The service impeccable. I ve been going for years and it s consistently been amazing. Could not recommend more.

This is the best food in Sydney. Service is exceptional and the location of the restaurant is unbeatable.

The dishes were kinda mid ngl. Had the tasting menu. Had to wait 30 minutes for our booking, they gave us free caviar and drinks though.

Nice restaurant by the water. Food was delicious and well presented. Some dishes were quite salty for my liking but overall they tasted nice. We had the Tasting Menu with 4 entrees, 5 mains and 2 deserts to celebrate our 2nd Valentine s together. Food

Dinner at Lumi blew my mind! Second visit and its even better than the first, continuously impressing with its creative elegance and perfect fusion of Japanese and Italian cuisine. Every bite is a revelation bursting with umami and ocean flavors. Despite the 17-course menu, including 8 bite-sized snacks, 3 entrees, 1 pasta, 2 mains, and 3 desserts, we savored every single dish and didnt want to miss a single bite. Each dish was a highlight on its own, but if I had to pick some favorites: Potato & wagyu: essentially beef tartare on the worlds greatest hash brown absolute perfection! Uni sushi: fresh, sweet uni that melts in your mouth OMG, love at first bite! Scampi foie gras toast: the combo is ingenious fresh, umami, earthy in one Lobster chawanmushi: Umami lobster flavor in a silky smooth egg custard truly the best of both worlds Agnolotti: Mind-blowing liquid tomato filling, it s an Italian xiao lung bao the burst of tomato broth is sensational and unforgettable. Chicken Wellington: A delightful twist on the classic crispy flaky pastry and layers of savory, umami-filled chicken. Pistachio ice cream: hands down the BEST Ive ever had rich, authentic pistachio flavor with a smooth texture that melts in your mouth. Absolutely epic!

The best Sydney food we have! Beautiful views beautiful presented food!and soooo delicious my family had a great time!

Amazing food, Italian/Japanese fusion feels very unique. Well deserving of its two hats, but some very nitpicky finer points of service were lacking; waiting a bit for water/drinks, no place to sit and wait for table to be ready etc. Catered to my friend s preference for no cooked fish on the night, swapping his dish for a piece of Wagyu which was impressive. Personal gripe: on a $350pp Omakase menu, things like caviar and truffle should be included where they are required, not up-sold. It comes across as cheap and tacky. *Should be noted that the chef did give us complementary truffle on a dish, one of the best of the night.

The food is so amazing here. This is the best fine dining in sydney in my my dining adventure so far. Every single dish is so perfect. Its beyond my expectations. Service is good, the staff is excellent. Perfection is the best word to describe this place, in my opinion.

Absolutely excellent fine dining. Expensive but well worth it. My partner had a few allergies and didn t enjoy the dishes raw. They prepared everything specially. Amazing I definitely recommend LuMi Dining

Honestly I think LUMI is one of the best restaurants I ve been to. The food and the wine pairing was just perfect - Big shout out to the sommelier Giorgio for his knowledge. Absolutely loved the snacks and the marron, and I really appreciated the fact that they were able to cater for me that I m celiac. The service from the staff was impeccable. 10/10 recommended, we will be back!

Wonderful dining experience. I took my Italian relatives there as they could not understand how one could pull off a modern fusion of Italian and Japanese cuisines. They were suitable impressed, as was I. This was my 3rd visit to LuMi and wont hesitate to go back again. Strongly suggest the wine pairing, which included one premium sake.

Amazing food and beverages. The sommelier was really friendly and knowledgeable (the pairings were perfect). The location was perfect and atmosphere . Worth every penny Vegetarian options: They were great with my partners vegetarian/pescatarian dietary requirements

This was not my first experience and the two last experiences were incredible. When I made the booking I was very clear it was my birthday. when I arrived and when I left there was no mention of my birthday and not even a simple birthday candle which I got the last time I was here 2019 & 2021, very disappointed, and only received apologies when complaint about this issue and offered nothing to rectify problem.. Also without sounding racist but it was extremely difficult to communicate with the both waiter and waitress.overall it was a bad experience and I felt very embarrassed as I bought my partner to experience what I thought would be amazing.

My partner took me here for my birthday and it was hands down, one of the best dining experiences I ve ever had. I couldn t fault anything about the restaurant. Location was semi-secluded with a nice view of the wharf, so it was away from the hustle and bustle. We opted for the tasting menu (11 courses + 1 additional dish per person added), and everything served to us was impeccable. Every bite taken my tastebuds were dancing with excitement. They had an array of drink options too - I had a yuzu honey cocktail drink and it was lovely. My partner had a white wine (Riesling) and it was nice and sweet. The staff were very accommodating and very sweet. Never received a top-tier service like this, so I was very impressed. I hope to visit LuMi in the near future again with my loved ones.

The food and staff were amazing. The team went out of their way to accommodate all our needs. Table of six and three of us had special dietary requirement each special request met with ease. Can highly recommend LumMi Will definitely go back Vegetarian options: All dishes looked and tasted amazing Dietary restrictions: Very good accommodated all our needs. Everyone was happy with their choice Choice Parking: Given where you re located parking is an issue, unless you pay for it not much you can do about it

Food exceptional as always! Excellence in service next level! The genuine care for customers will not be forgotten. Thank you so much to head chef and all staff. Brilliant customer service 7 yrs ago and nothings changed!

We like it so much we went 2 weekends in a row. Food is just amazing, fusion unlike any other I tried. It s not cheap, but you get what you pay for and that is outstanding service and fine delicious food! Food

Amazing food and service. Highly recommend the wine pairing by Giorgio Food : 5/5

Developed Covid with positive RAT test photographic proof on the morning of the lunch and left a message with the restaurant at 10am. I was phoned to say How are you ... and we will be charging you because within their non-refund guidelines. Shocking communication skills!

Great place for celebration

One of the most memorable dining experiences weve both had in ages. Could not fault a thing. Our gorgeous Brazilian waiter, Anastasia was amazing. We ate dessert at the bar area to witness the buzz of the kitchen & got chatting to gorgeous Scottish guy James. He made our Creme Caramel - the best weve ever eaten, along with out other 2 desserts. 10 stars Chef. Outstanding. Nick & Jo

First time at LuMi. Had the limited truffle menu which consisted of a few snacks, entree, main and dessert. The snacks were definitely the highlights from the gravity defying potato stack to the crispiest croissant I ve ever had. The extra Martin we ordered was definitely a weak point and I craved a bit of fresh acidity to go with it. I d imagine that their usual omakase is a much better standout option. Choose the truffle menu if you really want truffle, but you can get the standard menu with truffled added as well! Looking forward to coming back and trying their standard offerings. I will update this review with additional photos then.

Been here a few times now and it never disappoints. Incredible, exquisite food, wine matches were perfect, great service

The tasting menu was good (a lot of butter) and the snacks were a highlight. Portions were generous and we left stuffed. Our sitting was at 8.00pm and the service was not the best for a two hat and the price point. Our waitress was friendly but was nowhere to be seen for most of the night, and never asked if we wanted another drink. Will give it another go though because the food was promising.

LuMi Omakase - $350pp White Sturgeon caviar - $25 per serve Black truffle - $20 per serve Tagliatelle extra course - $20 per serve LuMi is situated in Pyrmont on the water, a wonderful setting for a fine dining experience. The dining room is dimly lit surrounding the open kitchen, really enjoyed the vibes here. The Omakase menu offers additional items to their tasting menu, which is priced at $255pp. If you enjoying eating I would definitely recommend the Omakase menu. There is almost a $100 increase to the Omakase menu, but I definitely thought the additions were both delicious, unique and well thought out so if you are ok to fork out the cash, go for it. We were able to add on caviar and truffle to items on the menu at an additional cost per serving; we asked our waiter what he recommended to add on and went with his suggestions, this was most definitely worth it. We also opted for the additional extra course of Tagliatelle with quail ragu, which was absolutely sublime; this was also offered with a seafood ragu option. The whole menu was delicious, seafood featured heavily on the menu including tuna, scampi, lobster, marron, Moreton Bay bugs. Quail featured twice; in wellington and tagliatelle. The add ons of caviar and truffle were the icing on the cake. I personally enjoyed the yoghurt ice cream with fig and raspberry oil, I thought this dish worked extremely well. Service was fantastic, waiters were professional and attentive, but also engaged in the occasional discussion and could easily answer any questions regarding the menu/restaurant. We are waiting in anticipation for a new menu so we can experience LuMi again.

We had fantastic service

Fabulous experience for my birthday. The detail and flavour in each dish was extraordinary

Probably my favourite restaurant in Sydney.

Incredible food in the tasting menu with extremely attentive staff! Will be back

Best fine dining place Ive been to in Sydney! Vegetarian options: Able to cater for vegetarians. Dietary restrictions: Can cater to most dietary restrictions, let staff know beforehand.

Service is great and food is delicious

We came here for a birthday. I enjoyed the experience. Staff were so nice and friendly. Food was good too and the view was amazing. We came at 6pm in December when the sun was setting. It looks so nice.

Amazing 20 course meal, one of the best restaurants I have been to

Had my birthday dinner here with my husband, food was spot on, overall great dining experience.

The food was served so fast that I was distracted. The taste was not good I can see why its not Sun Restaurant. Food taste is nothing special. It was standard. The uni was didnt taste good. The desert...................isnt creative. I have Omakase dinner course. But basic course is similar just some dishes more added on the Omakase.

Best Omakase dinning in town, highly recommended. Every dish is well presented and delicious, with great services; the waiter explain each dish clearly.

Well presented fine dining, excellent service and lovely atmosphere. Food was beautifully presented and nice, but nothing that special.

Good reviews, have eaten there twice and very satisfied both times. Especially the appetizers are delicious, the main courses are a little salty, and the desserts are all ice cream, which is not very sincere. But the impression of the appetizer was so good, every dish touched the taste buds. I think the appetizer should be the chefs specialty. The price is not cheap, but it is worth going again.

We had the tasting menu and ordered a dozen oysters on the side. We also asked to add a few side dishes from the omakase menu and the chefs and staff were more than happy to oblige with the on the spot changes. Each dish was unique and delicious, coming out quickly and served with great attention. The service was absolutely phenomenal, with our servers more than happy to have a chat and answer any questions we had. This is the second time we ve visited LuMi and we re definitely looking forward to the next one!

This is one of my absolute favourite places to eat. I don t go often, but it s a real occasion when I do. The service is always on point, you feel welcome and looked after. The food is elegant, beautiful and technical but importantly bloody delicious, which is no mean feat. Congratulations Team Lumi setting the bar again!

Wonderful meal. The service was friendly and professional, the food was amazing. I will certainly be back.

Spectacular experience, having eaten in many of Sydney s best restaurants Lumi is definitely one of them! We did the testing menu and it just kept getting better, and the service was impeccable! Highly recommend any trying it out, we ll be back again!

I ve booked my birthday celebration dining here. The Omakase set food was amazing and waiters were friendly :) $808 for 2 people including drinks: auspicious number Looking forward to the next seasonal menu Food : 4/5

Been celebrating important events here yearly, decided to walk in one night and the experience was even better at the front. Been here numerous times and am hoping to go again when menu changes! Thanks James and Lumi team for a great experience everytime.

Amazing experience at Lumi, great team and great food. Highly recommend!

Ive dined at Lumi on numerous occasions over the past few years, and they continually astonish with their ever-evolving menu. However, its worth noting that this dynamism can result in occasional variability, where sometimes its an exquisite culinary adventure, while other times it leans towards a more conventional experience.

Absolutely beautiful omakase. The small bites were a dream, especially the gunkan, kingfish and scallop.

the food is so good !! love it !!!

Nice HarbourView

My partner and I love fancy lunches and dinners but after enjoying many, I can tell you my personal opinion is that LuMi dining is the best out of all of them overall! The food, the service, everything was amazing. Shout out to the cocktail man Andres for making the best cocktails I had in a long time!

Probably the most mediocre food I have had in a high end restaurant. This restaurant definitely imbibes the philosophy of form over substance. We got the omakase menu. 1. most of the first course samplers were too salty. 2. The chawanmushi was a modern touch - plain underwhelming. 3. Great whiting could have been prepared better - a waste for such a great fish. Saint Peter definitely prepared it better. 4. The most disappointing was the wagyu, which was not A5 or A4. None of the signature fattines - simple lean meat. I had rather not set expectations high for wagyu, which is supposed to be last entree. Youll definitely be disappointed 5. The two deserts did not spark joy either. Also, service is slow - expect 4 hours for the omakase. Positive: 1. Marron was prepared well 2. Presentation is beautiful

The food was average at best. Service was as expected for fine dining but when it got busy, it was an absolute chaos. Premium wine pairing was not great for $225. Don t do it. Much better places for that price.

Hell yeah Sydney fine dining still has hope. Food

One of the best dining experiences I ve ever had. The food was absolute perfection, the wine pairing was second to none and the service was incredible. We booked on a recommendation and it paid off. Thank you so much for an amazing lunch, we will be back!

Food: Fantastic Service: averaged about 20 minutes between serves for a 17 course meal Atmosphere: I didnt feel we had any special attention vs a restaurant, arrived on time, and waited 30 minutes for our table. We may be an outlier, but for the cost, the expirence did not meet our expectations. Kitchen was ready to scub floors while we had 2 courses to go... For the price I could not reccomend

This place is incredible! The food is delicious & unique, each bite is so special. The place itself is beautiful and looks out on to the water. The most incredible team both on the front and back of house, so attentive and caring. Looking forward to coming back here many more times

I loved this place! We came for our anniversary and it was well worth every penny. We ordered the Omakase menu. Food was of high quality- fresh, delicious with attention to detail, especially in regards to presentation. Cocktails were also tasty, they also offer the traditional cocktails as well. The overall vibe was upscale, yet relaxed. Great location also. I would definitely come back for another special occasion. Thank you for having us!

hoped for better for the price we paid. when we arrived, entrance staff were judgemental and did not greet us welcomely. got the tasting menu, food was underwhelming, very tiny servings- take 1 bite and its gone! also, service was so slow!! got there at 6pm and they didnt bring out dessert until after 8pm. then it felt like they were rushing us out. burnt butter dessert was awful and left a horrible aftertaste.

Excellent food and service! Thanks LuMi team for a great night! Food

A great atmosphere, focused and attentive staff, delicious meals catered to your dietary needs/restrictions.. If you want a fabulous night with your spouse/partner or friends, you should reserve your seat at LuMi.

One of my favorite restaurants as a well-traveled American. Beautiful pier views of the bay with a Michelin worthy tasting menu of the most delightfully plated tour of flavors that perfectly fuse Italian and Japanese tastes. Wine list is also impressive. We will be coming back.

Lumi was amazing. Went for my partners birthday, and we were thrilled with all the dishes, wine selection and the staff are incredible. I will definitely be saving up to come back. Dietary restrictions: Very accomodating of my seafood allergy!

amazing experience - the service was perfect and the food was unbelievably delicious and inventive. Dietary restrictions: we are Pescatarian and the team were more than helpful when we ordered the Omakase menu

Second time back and AMAZING still. Def a pricey special occasion meal but such a treat!!! High quality food. Flavours umami, small intimate type of venue. Loved Food : 5/5

it was an amazing experience with Lumi dining last night, I really love the wagyu and potato and the Marron too

Second time and LuMi (for hubbys birthday) and was again it did not disappoint. Had the omakase menu and was most impressed with the snacks. Every snack we had was absolutely amazing and left us wanting more. Staff very attentive and helpful! Would definitely come back again!

A big thank you to Giancarlo for making our lunch special. His attention to detail and professionalism were amazing!

Lumi is a restaurant like no other, it has an amazing ambience and is styled to perfection. The staff are very professional and friendly creating a relaxed environment conducive with the cuisine. The food is presented beautifully and the taste of the food is incredibile, it is unique in flavour and simply one of the best meals I have ever had. An elegant restaurant with a relaxed and friendly vibe with food that tastes amazing. Vegetarian options: I am a vegetarian and I was totally catered for.

We have dined at LuMi before, we enjoyed the food experience but the previous menu and food was better. We like the location, lovely next to the water. The service is professional and quick, sometimes a bit too quick :) I would encourage some menu improvements and portions, still overall a good experience

enjoyed the tasting menu and friendly services Only wine/sake pairing were different than what we wanted However overall great experience with two hats restaurant Food : 4/5

I had a fantastic first experience at Lumi. The location is superb, and the service was great. Each dish reflected a thoughtful touch, showcasing evident culinary research. A delightful dining destination.
