Impressive venue, effusive welcome, we were seated looking into the open kitchen which was fun. It is a rather noisy room. We had the scotch egg, cod and pork cutlet - which were all beautifully cooked and presented. Service was attentive and friendly. An unusual cheesecake/crème brûlée with mandarin sorbet made for an excellent dessert. A deservedly popular venue.

The food overall was delicious and well presented. It is the right portion for us but may be a bit small for some guests. Service from all staff is amazingly sweet, professional and just the right level. And the deco of the restaurant is nice for any occasions.

Excellent food and atmosphere, very good service along with the overall vibe of the restaurant. The table side steak tartare is brilliant, only critique I could think of is that it was hard to understand the waiter at times over the music but regardless it was wonderful. Highly recommend this restaurant!

This is my third time at Omnia and I’m still very impressed and excited about the food and beverage. Finally, got to try the duck which requires two people minimum to order. So I brought a good mate to join me and the duck was simply delicious.

Omnia is really firing on all cylinders. Always greeted with a friendly, knowledgeable and efficient front of house staff member, it allowed us to slip comfortably into a long lunch. Food was excellent, as always, making it difficult to pick a favourite dish. Many thanks to the whole team.
