Herald Sun Simon Plant, 7-03-09 "I'm in the front dining room for lunch, a big casual space where bentwood chairs scrape on worn tiles and warm light radiates from art deco lamps. Waiters in black aprons dart back and forth, delivering oysters natural to one table, lightly grilled calamari to another. They are also shunting an odd-looking machine our way that dispenses selected wines by the glass and carafe. We select a flinty white from the Dolomites, then an earthy Primitivo di Manduria from Apulia."
Herald Sun Claire Sutherland, 15-07-08 Score: **** "One of Melbourne's most esteemed Latin eating places, Society offers simple, fine and excellent food with classics such as osso buco, whitebait fritters, and duck being regulars on the menu"
Herald Sun Dining Out, Stephen Downes, 7-08-07 Score: 17/20 "Stop all the clocks, as Auden wrote. Society is back, and I can't believe it can ever have been much better. The food is simple, fine and excellent, the restoration loving and the service superb. Though not exceptionally long, you'll find something on the wine list to suit you. Prices are reasonable and eight table whites and 10 reds are available by glass."
