4 of 5 stars Reviewed 27 May 2012 NEW

Took a little while to find as the entrance is tucked away in the corner of the rather grandiose entrance to the Crown Hotel. Initial impression was that of a calm, serene environment not dissimilar to a good hotel's spa. Not sure if this is the right environment a restaurant should be seeking on a Sunday lunchtime. Nice surprise when... More

First impressions are extremely good, very well laid out restuarant, roomy and view to the yarra river..service was slick and professional. But at $150.00 p.h. for food plus drinks, I think that we all expected a little more from the food. Whilst hard to isolate dishes as not up to scratch, it just didn't reach the dizzy heights we were... More

This is clearly a very good restaurant - but not as good as we expected . The location, right alongside the Yarra river, is spectacular. The presentation of the restaurant is warm and comfortable, the service is impeccable, the wine list is extensive and the food is very good. But we expected a bit more than 'very good' for $150...

Booked a Sunday brunch table & found it a bit disconcerting that this huge restaurant was almost empty. Service was excellent but the food was disappointingly nothing more than 'good'. We had duck pancakes - nice, salt 'n pepper squid... More
