Kisumé

Moody three-level Japanese fine diner on Flinders Lane, known for sashimi, wagyu and a sushi bar.

Dimly lit, cinematic three-level room of concrete, timber and gold accents with a ground-floor sushi bar and live violin; calm enough for conversation, polished and moody.

Sushi bar where chefs work in view; chef's tasting and à la carte menus; lunch set menu; upstairs bar; careful allergen handling; celebratory dessert plates for birthdays and anniversaries.

Modern Japanese with Western influences: reviewers rate the sushi and sashimi as authentic and fresh, while the fusion dishes divide opinion.

Premium Melbourne pricing, and many reviewers feel portions and some dishes do not justify the bill; set menus and the lunch set read as better value, while water charges and surcharges lift totals.
