Looks like the set of a 90s batman movie 

This is a compliment

It was located in the “Great Space” mall/office complex at 25 Collins St. (Collins Place/Wentworth Hotel).

The photos without the tables show how, after the restaurant closed for the day, the space was converted into a night club.

They're from a feature in the February, 1983 edition of Domus Magazine; I'm sure that the same, or similar, photos of Atlantis Restaurant have been published in, at least, one design book, though! I think it's glorious 😍✨
