About this restaurant

  • Good for groups
  • Great for creative cocktails

Our Newstead venue creates a seamless connection between indoor and outdoor spaces and introduce a new design language inspired by relaxed, hacienda-style architecture.

Comuna has always been about creating places where people come together without needing

bringing people together, celebrating the everyday and creating spaces that feel alive.

    We attended a Melbourne Cup function here and it was excellent. From the oyster buffet to the food and drink selection, this place had the perfect ambiance for a lovely Melbourne Cup afternoon. The staff were all wonderful and as it has only recently opened, the place felt very fresh and new. It was well-styled. We will definitely come back again and we'll bring our friends!
    Comuna - NewsteadResponded 1 day ago
    Thank you for the lovely feedback! We're so happy you enjoyed our Melbourne Cup celebration, food, drinks and atmosphere. It means a lot to hear your kind words about our team and venue. We look forward to welcoming you back soon!

    Great drinks, but the service wasn’t amazing, it wasn’t super busy but they seemed understaffed and unable to keep up. A meal was forgotten (which was taken off the bill and apologised for), and after several attempts to flag down staff to take drinks orders I ended up, twice, having to get up and go look for someone to get drinks and checking the missing meal. It was a bday celebration and despite being assured they’d remember the candles and birthday sign, the dessert came out bare and was embarrassingly sent back to redo. All in all it made for a sub average bday dinner.
    Comuna - NewsteadResponded on 1 November 2026
    Thank you for your feedback Kelly. We're genuinely sorry we let you down, especially on such a special occasion. This is certainly not the experience we want our guests to have. We apologise for the missed meal, delays and birthday arrangements. We appreciate you bringing this to our attention and will be addressing this with our team. ❀

    The restaurant was a bit quiet and we were sat right beside a group of approx 8-10 when it would of been nicer to sit a bit apart. I did feel that we had to sometimes attrack attention. However, once we did we were very well looked after.
    Comuna - NewsteadResponded on 1 November 2026
    Thanks for your feedback Tracie 😊 We're sorry about the seating and having to wait for attention. We're glad our team looked after you once connected. We appreciate your comments and hope to welcome you back soon! ❀

    Great bottomless, with plenty of food, good service and good vibe. Only downside was that the drinks were very slow. One round took over 20min. Otherwise it was a great experience

    Thanks so much for the lovely feedback Jessica! 😊 We're glad you enjoyed the food, service and atmosphere. Sorry about the wait for drinks - we'll definitely pass this on to our team, as this is not the standard we aim for. Hope to see you again soon! ❀

    We were mainly there for the cocktails. Big problems with consistency of the drinks. Each Esspresso martini was different from the last. Two of the Margs were only half full. If we had experienced friendlier and more attentive service we would have spent much more money. You need cushions for the outdoor concrete benches
    Comuna - NewsteadResponded on 9 October 2026
    Hi Sue, thank you for your feedback. We're sorry to hear the cocktails and service didn't meet expectations. Consistency and attentive service are important to us, and we appreciate you bringing these concerns to our attention. We'll also take your suggestion about outdoor seating on board. We hope you'll give us another chance in the future 😊

    Fun experience overall. Only disappointment was the guac with chips as the serving size of guacamole was pretty small. We asked for more but never received it. Apart from that, Scott was great. We Loved the tacos & Margaritas!!
