Matilda 159 Domain in Victoria

"We had the “Feed Me” menu, and the portions were actually quite big. My husband and I couldn’t finish everything! (We upgraded to the rib eye.) The starters and snacks were super delicious. As for the steak, we read the reviews beforehand, so we didn’t have high expectations. It was indeed served lukewarm. While the steak was cooked to our liking, it cooled down quite quickly. Maybe it was left to rest too long. Overall, though, the experience was still wonderful."

"The food and prices here are acceptable and reasonable for what you get. The service was good, the place is comfortable and not noisy, and the staff were really nice and friendly, which made the experience even better. Would happily come back again."

"Recently spent a foodie week in Melbourne dining at some of Melbournes best restaurants but managed to give a special shoutout to Matilda. We booked here after seeing them make the top 100 worlds best steaks but at first was a little skeptical. From the moment I walked in passing by the kitchen where the hot coals were smoking and meals being meticulously plated up. We had a couple of entrees including Oysters & Octopus which didn't disappoint but the stand out was the rib eye bone-in cooked to perfection and jam packed with flavor. Perfectly charred on the outside and beautifully pink and moist in the middle, seasoned well. Well done team . Keep up the great work"

"The food was amazing! I forgot to ask her name, but I’m pretty sure she’s the manager. She gave us such amazing service and made my birthday even more special! Definitely will visit again. Thanks to the whole team!"

"My husband’s birthday celebration was perfect because of the delicious food and impeccable service we received. The tall guy who served us was beyond amazing. He explained the food and wine well and had little but quality conversations with is in between about the dishes and wine. The wagyu was perfectly cooked, but the highlight of the night was the duck. We also shared a dessert, our favourite apple tart tatin. Matilda 159 has been our favourite Melbourne resto. This was our 3rd time here. We always love the intimate and warm vibe here."

"I've photographed a few weddings at Matilda 159 Domain and it is such an incredible venue. The moody, elegant interiors make for stunning photos, and the atmosphere feels warm and intimate throughout the reception. The food looks as amazing as it tastes, and the team are always a dream to work with - everything flows seamlessly. A perfect spot for a stylish Melbourne wedding."

"We chose this restaurant to celebrate my promotion, and it absolutely delivered an unforgettable experience. The entire meal was worth every cent, with each dish displaying incredible finesse and depth of flavor. The meal began with what might be the best focaccia and olive oil we've ever had. For starters, the lamb ribs and salmon roe were superb. The only very slight miss was the king prawn, which I felt was a touch undercooked inside. That was quickly forgotten with our main event: the 35-day dry-aged Cape Grim ribeye. This steak was phenomenal, and the duck fat potatoes were the perfect rich accompaniment. We got carried away with ordering and ended the night unusually, but happily, full. Despite the one small suggestion on the prawn, our experience was amazing. I cannot recommend this place highly enough for any Melbourne food lover seeking a top-tier culinary experience."
