An insider told Ny Breaking Australia that Jade was sitting in a booth with friends at the exclusive Italian restaurant and bar, while Michael was partying on the floor above.
Michael attended Derby Day at Flemington Racecourse with Tabcorp, while Jade was in town from Sydney to enjoy the exclusive after-parties.
A source close to the couple tried to quash rumors that they were back together, saying the pair attended the Bar Bambi bash separately and were “amicable.”
Jade talked to Michael for a while at the beginning of the party and then at the end of the night.

The pair, who were both in relationships with former cricketer Michael, undoubtedly found the meeting very awkward.
Michael, Jade and Pip made the news earlier this year after a now infamous Noosa melee involving Jade who brought in her brother-in-law, Today presenter Karl Stefanović.
In the video, which was filmed by an onlooker and later sold to The Daily Telegraph for a reported $10,000, Jade accused Clarke of cheating on her with his ex-designer Pip Edwards on December 17.
All hell broke loose after Michael, Karl, his wife Jasmine and her sister Jade went to dinner at a beachside restaurant with accountant Anthony Bell.
The video started with Jade shouting at Michael before punching him in the face and pushing him away after the cricketer insisted he wasn’t cheating on her.
He was also accused of messaging the co-founder of activewear label PE Nation and admitting that she was the “love of his life.”

Earlier this year, Michael issued a groveling apology to those involved in the incident at the time, admitting it was all his fault.
“I accept full responsibility for this altercation and am shocked by my actions,” he said.
“I am absolutely devastated that I have placed the people I hold in high esteem in this position.
“My actions leading up to this altercation were utterly shameful and deplorable.
“I am devastated that by my actions I have drawn women of class and integrity, and my friends, into this situation.”
