Cutler & Co

Andrew’s only fine dining venue, Cutler & Co. strikes a balance between elegance and simplicity with service that is welcoming and relaxed without compromising on attention to detail.
The flexibility of the dining room encourages leisurely family lunches, corporate dining, appetisers and drinks at the bar, pre-theatre dinners or a full degustation experience.
For a truly memorable occasion the restaurant can also be hired for exclusive functions such as weddings, work events or engagement parties.
Worth the price. Best dining experience. Value for money.
Superb flavours complemented by delicious wines. Very knowledgeable and friendly staff. One of the best restaurants I have been to.
Second Sunday lunch (this time a late Valentines celebration). Highlights were being recognized by our last waiter, fabulous wine and cocktail list and the mesmerizing Fig tart. Consistently excellent !
Amazing food in a great setting.
I went to Cutler & Co as a recommendation from a friend who’s from Melbourne. I am from San Francisco. I chose the prix fix chefs selection. Each dish was fine, but nothing was great. Given the hype and the price I expected much more.
The space was beautiful, my service was excellent, and their wine selection was lovely.
It was just the food that was very disappointing. I kinda just wanted it to be over as soon as it started.
Outstanding food and service! highly recommend for that special occasion.
Great food overall. The entrees a little bit too small in quantity and probably more choices need to be add on the menu. Main was great. Their sourdough warm and crunchy was the star of the night for me and I would like to learn how they prepare it. Really good.
We are from the UK and saw an amazing write up in a UK magazine so decided to try- my initial booking was cancelled as I lost email connection but after arriving and finding my booking had been cancelled I was a little annoyed however the front of house manager with the most equisite accent and professionalism organised a table and we had an unforgettable meal.
Was relaxed and service is excellent. I love how the seating means it feels intimate but you’re not jammed on top of anyone else and nearly every table has a view of that beautiful room.
The staff have a lovely relaxed, but expert manner. They really love what they do. The food is outstanding... a lovely lunch!
One of the best fine dining restaurants I have been to in Melbourne. Very high class, exquisite food and service was incredible
Great food, nice atmosphere, good wine list, and great service. I was usually find it interesting to discuss with the Sommelier about different bottles of wine and what would match the food. She was friendly but she wasn't able to tell me much about a couple of Burgundy producers on the list that I had not previously tried. I would still go back as I enjoyed the bottle I chose.
The food was perfect and the wine went perfectly with our meals. Our waiter, Collin was excellent - very knowledgeable and made great recommendations.
The staff were very welcoming upon entering the restaurant. Requested for a change of table near the kitchen, the waiter was accommodating and managed to get one although our reservation was last minute (booked 2hrs before dining).
Ambience is relaxed and food is always exceptional. Service is excellent. Wine selection is outstanding (sommelier is happy to recommend great wines).
Thank you Cutler & Co for an amazing evening.
An amazing restaurant, that covers all bases. Good food, good service, great wine list and most importantly the vibe and soul.
Loved our experience here, such a stylish ambience, attentive but unpretentious service. We will return!
The atmosphere was lovely and the food devine. We had the chefs menu and wine paring, the fried chicken and pineapple dessert were amazing. Service was friendly and efficient. Will definitely come again.
Food was simply amazing. A wonderful experience. Thank you!
Great decor’ and excellent service - the waiters were attentive and courteous without being a nuisance. Great food, and not too noisey... I’ll be back!!
Delicious food, amazing staff. Catered really well for coeliacs with gluten free options. Highly recommend
Excellent restaurant. Great food. Great service. Great ambience. My wife and I shared Sydney rock oysters which were delicious. She had Loin of veal, which was cooked to perfection. I had suckling pig. We shared pineapple, coconut meringue for desert. We were not rushed no it will be crowded into a dining room full of other diners. Tables are well spaced.
Amazing food, service was exceptional. Words can of justify the experience.
Nice place, great service. Had the Mooloolaba prawns for starters that were a bit bland and chewy structure but the main course of snapper was excellent and strawberry dessert was delicious. Would happily recommend.
Everything about our dining experience was fantastic. The staff were extremely attentive and the food was beautiful. I would recommend to anyone.
We had a wonderful Sunday lunch at Cutler and Co. The staff were amazing - particularly given I had accidentally booked for the wrong weekend and despite being very busy, they graciously and calmly found us a table. We really enjoyed the set menu and paired wines
Excellent food & wine
Roast suckling pig Main course arrived cold & we sent back - replacement was very good. Service is excellent although wait staff a bit ‘austere’
It is still one of our favourites although there is room to lift
Amazing meal for my wife’s birthday! Had the Chef’s selection which was beautiful, but the meal was made complete with the pairings (wine pairings for my wife and the tea and infusion pairing for me). Highly recommend paying the extra for these.
The food was wonderful. We hade the chefs 7 course selection and it was superb with wonderfully subtle tastes. The main course servings are substantial, so be suitably prepared. The staff were all attentive with just the right amount of contact and help. Antoine was friendly and helpful with the food and wine choice. He added to the enjoyment of the evening. The restaurant deserves its reputation.

Tasting/chef's menu at Cutler and Co. was one of the best meals I had during two weeks in Australia.
Sunday lunch at Cutler and Co never ceases to impress. It’s great value for money and the service is always phenomenal. The food is fresh, seasonal and absolutely delicious every time.
Great food, great service, great place ! I ll really recommend this place to any person who is looking for fine dining restaurant !
Excellent service and attention to detail. Our party was made to feel very welcome and service was unobtrusive but attentive. Would certainly recommend to others.
Top restaurant with great food and overall atmosphere. Would definitely recommend!
Excellent gastronomic experience with wellexecuted dishes and very competent help for wine-matching in nice milieu and atmosphere! Love to be back for any good reason, e.g. pure indulgence!
Best meal we ate in Melbourne. Fun service! Upon arrival I was concerned the place took itself too seriously but they quickly lightened up. Especially personable was an Italian food runner who smiled non-stop all evening. The flavored butter was addictive and our entrees and mains were excellent. Thank you for an amazing meal! We will return when we come to Melbourne again!
Best experience we have had in a restaurant for along time. Service and food made the experience exceptional.
Everything was excellent - from the service to the food to the ambience. Staff went out of their way to ensure we were comfortable and were more than happy to cater to some specific dietary requirements. We had the set 3 course lunch menu with wine pairings. The food was plentiful and it was great value. Would dine again in a heartbeat.
Knowledgeable staff who were professional, charming and friendly in every way. Extensive wine list and food doesn’t disappoint either.
True 5 star experience
10/10
Something has gone missing at C&C. This was one of our favourite places in Australia to dine, particularly for a special occasion as it was such good all round quality. But this visit want the case- the menu seemed tired and options were too limited. The zucchini flower was nice but not memorable. Our rib eye was cooked nicely, but it was standard. And the pineapple dessert was very underwhelming. The staff looked intensely under pressure and were distracted by the focus on their own performance. We felt like intruders. Our table was small and placed in the middle of a busy walk through space- It was like being in a cafe. It was noisy, which I don’t mind, but the music was all over the place and distracting. We selected C&C for our Christmas date night, as we did last 2 years. But very sadly I don’t think this tradition will continue.
Deliscious food. Sadly we were short on time so could only have a main course. Service was excellent.
