We had a great meal here. Nice to see genuinely enthusiastic staff (even away from the table). Accommodated our 2 year old without any problems. Nice ambience- music, not echoey, good temperature, no kitchen noise, good lighting. Food was excellent. I would describe it as modern Italian. Very nice fig and gorgonzola tart (could have done with more gorgonzola though).... More

We had a beautiful meal here. Drinks and meals were on the pricey side, but the quality was excellent. We both had the homemade pasta for main, the best I've had in a long time. Pasta wasn't a big serve so we had desert as well (along with an entre) however I would prefer a beautiful small dish than a... More

The Title says it all. The food was very good, but the general attitude of the restaurant staff was that 'real service' was reserved for Melbourne's A-listers. This was unfortunate, as the food warranted a return visit, but due to the pretentious attitude our group opted to eat elsewhere on subsequent evenings. More

Had dinner here on our annual trip to Melbourne for our wedding anniversary.Having dined the night before at our first choice of restaurants this was our second choice on our second night.This, however, was outstanding and in hindsight left our 'first choice" for dead! Every course of the 3 we had was delicious and generous.The staff were busy but very... More

I attended a party in a private function room on the top floor. Thanks to the hosts, there was plenty of drink flowing all night. We were served finger food by courteous, knowledgeable staff and it was delicious, although a little stodgy and deep fried. It's in a great location, easy to find and a very short stroll from the...

This place is deservedly popular. It always seems well patronized, even on a dull Monday evening. Well situated on a popular restaurant "stretch"' it offers a well above average meal always well presented, always tasty, and a pleasant helpful atmosphere and no attitude from the staff. It is a regular haunt of this reviewer when a night off from the... More

Had dinner there last Saturday. I had salt & pepper calamari for entree which was perfectly cooked. My main was osso bucco on a bed of risotto. Meat was taken off the bone & was blended beautifully in a tomato sauce. Hubby had duck which he said was delicious. Only problem is that the restaurant is extremely noisy & service... More
