Generous staff discounts across all Lucas Collective venues About Society: A statement of contemporary Australian design and sophisticated dining culture, the art of à la carte is the centrepiece allowing diners to curate their own experience promising no two visits need ever be the same. Grand yet intimate, the restaurant has 180 degree views over Collins and Exhibition streets encompassing distinctly different dining experiences – the Society dining room, customised private dining, the Lillian Brasserie and a luxurious lounge bar with each space remaining independent in menu offerings.
