    Attica stands out as a shining light in the Australian restaurant industry. Every single team member we encountered was positive, attentive, and a pleasure to interact with. You can tell that Ben and Kylie really treasure their team, and they reciprocate in turn. Every dish was thoughtful and immaculately presented and described by staff. The matched wines were also thoughtful and excellently described by the French sommelier who we enjoyed talking wine with. We joked with a few of the staff who were happy to banter with us, which is a sign of a team who were very calm, confident, and happy in their roles. Congratulations to Ben, Kylie, and the Attica team on a fantastic institution in Australian culinary excellence.
