I dined at Luci last night with my partner to celebrate a special occasion. While the evening started well, it quickly turned into a frustrating experience.

We upgraded our main course from lamb to beef tenderloin for $15 each, but when the dish arrived, we found a piece of rubber inside the beef. I brought it to the waiter’s attention, and she returned it to the kitchen. When she came back, we were informed that the chef dismissed it as “nothing serious” and simply removed the rubber without replacing the dish. Mistakes happen, and I was willing to overlook this.

However, when we resumed eating, we found another piece of rubber inside the beef. We reported this to the waiter again, who spoke to the manager, but shockingly, the manager didn’t bother to come over or address the situation at all. Ignoring such a serious issue is unprofessional and shows a lack of care for customer safety and satisfaction.

To top it all off, when we paid, we were charged for four upgrades instead of two. Despite the issues with the main course, no complimentary gesture was offered, and the overcharge was just another sign of poor service.

While the food itself was good, the service was appalling, and the manager’s indifference left a bad impression.

The venue was stunning which resulted in a great atmosphere to begin with. The service was good however the waiter was very rushed and overwhelmed which was very apparent. They was lovely on every encounter nevertheless. We enjoyed the limited NYE menu with some highlights being the fresh salad topped with whipped feta, super delicious focaccia and a beef tenderloin cooked to perfection. Some things we would miss in the future is the duck as it was a bit too chewy and the arancini balls which very bland.  The drinks and desserts were delightful. Highly recommend the amaretto sour.

On this night, we caught up with friends who came from Queensland. While we were visiting them few years ago, they have treated us in a nice Mexican restaurant. This time we play host and chosen Luci as we had read some reviews.

In this review, I decided to split Ambience and Service as each have different view.

Ambience [3] Upon walking in, you felt you have walked into a theatre with beautiful settings. Nice table setup and big flowers hanging over. We were the first few to arrive after the place open so a sense of quietness fill the air. Soon, a large group arrived and quite immediately the place seems loud. We barely able to talk as the group voice echo across the restaurant. If you plan to come here for a romantic meal, I suggest you think twice, unless you didn't get a noisy group.

Service [2.5]. We have an unfortunate staff who served us. Based on the number of occasions , the staff barely manage the cutlery well, felt clumsy but still managed to say "what's with me today". We should be asking that question.

Food [3]. Not the best. Didn't enjoy and felt portion is small with the price tag. Dessert seems the only nice items we had. Bill came and is steep.

Luci is situated inside a well known hotel but felt it will brings down the reputation if the experience we had is a common scene.

Luci Melbourne located inside the Hilton hotel on Bourke St. Absolutley beautiful venue from floor to ceiling this restaurant is gorgeous.

Very happy with everything we ordered cocktails were well crafted and flavourful, the house made sourdough Foccacia was very possibly the best bread my wife and I have enjoyed this year! (Extra serves start at $2 per slice).

You really can’t go wrong with oysters and scallops to start things off, really loved the scallops and the delightfully creamy sauce it sits in.

Ribeye was cooked to a perfect medium rare and very well seasoned that you don’t need the mustard. Broccolini was a nice big serve which for veggie lovers was perfect.

Carbonara sauce for the Gnocchi worked very well with a side of bread so we can soak up the extra sauce and pancetta.

Highly recommend checking out Luci for a special night out or if you’re just looking for a great spot in the cbd.
