Visited for lunch during The Food and Wine festival. We had booked for the express lunch which offers a choice of 2 courses from a limited menu for $35. We have done this several times over the past 2 or 3 years, and find it a good way to try different restaurants. If we like them we often return, however... More

We were walking through the casino restaurants and stumbled along the Atlantic. The bar was inviting so we had a drink and ordered at the lounge bar. The meals were small and bland and way too expensive for what was served. The waiter wasn't very friendly and took way too long to serve us and wasn't very friendly at all.... More

I appreciate ambient lighting but this restaurant was far too dark for me. The chairs were too hard also. I found this restaurant uncomfortable. More

We were very disappointed at the quality for the very expensive price and... More

We went to Atlantic for lunch after a hard morning shopping. I love the atmosphere and the decor. Staff were helpful and friendly. I ordered the seafood cocktail for starters which was fresh and juicy and everything you could hope for (except possibly hoping for a little more perhaps). I then had fish and chips which was great. Not too... More

Tried the bar after a concert, lost our order, to add insult offered free coffee ( it was already midnight!!) the food that came out was burnt and small and expensive. Walked away with a burnt taste in the mouth, this was a 2nd try and will not be going for a 3rd. More

We went on a Monday and it was fairly busy. We had the degustation menu. Paid approximately $130 for a 6 course menu. Every meal was immaculate. It tasted fresh and presentation was crisp.Extremely happy with it. Out of the lot, we felt the steak was cooked to perfection. We will go back for sure. More

Second time back and its still just as good. I'm so glad I didn't pay for it. Service was good , the food was great. Dessert was perfect. I had the Peanut and jelly Sandwich. As must have. Happy to go back as long as I'm not paying. More

We had a dozen of oyster there mixed with different variety, pasta and clam chowder. Food is not up to standard and not value for money either. Totally disappointed first meal we had in Melbourne. More

Quite a large restaurant within casino complex. We dined on tasting menu with wines. We were happy with a longer dining experience but felt the courses were a little to big and the overall menu a little ambitious. Waitress was attentive then dissapeared for the evening. Somelier was constant and informative. Flame show at window added excitement and flair otherwise... More
