If you are going here get a seat at the back near the open kitchen. Its great to watch the chefs cook and shout at each other. Steak was good. Nice place to impress a girl if you dont want to go too posh and if i rememer rightly the Burger was great. Also nice to get out of the... More

A large barn, with a corresponding din of voices, means you find your self yelling at your dinner partners. Nothing special in the range of food. Very difficult to locate if you are not a Southgate regular. More

Have yet to try the Maze grill, but here is my story on the fine dining area. Our waitress had NO idea what she was doing, she was very awkward to talk to and ask questions to. Lacked customer service skills. The food was very elegant and pricey, i liked the dessert more than any of the main meals i... More

Maze is split into two dining experiences; Maze and Maze Grill. I have eaten at Maze Grill a coupe of times and loved it! Food is fresh, tasty and a great experience to try something new. Staff are very attentive and friendly and the ambience is perfect! I am yet to try Maze which I have been told is more... More

This place really doesn't know what it wants to be. Trendy club for show-offs? Fine dining for the masses? A special occasion event for gourmands? Boutique hotel showpiece? t's 25% each and misses the mark overall. The "background" music is loud enough to interfere with the table's conversation. Probably because the clientele seems to be nouveau riche guys with high... More

not sure about this place now. went twice. first time a disaster, service and kitchen made a bit of a mess. second time the food was perfectly divine. but is it enough? not sure? I think it's more a business like kind of restaurant, you don;t eat much, you just talk all the time. More

Had a dinner here while staying at the Crown Metropol. Was excited to have a taste of Gordon Ramsay's type of food after trying Jamie Oliver's Fifteen restaurant in Melbourne as well. We weren't in the fine dining section and tried out the more casual restaurant section. The menus were different (and the prices obviously) but there were still some... More
