I have eaten in the Graham many times and will continue to visit. In my opinion this is the best restaurant in Port Melbourne. The staff and service is excellent. The staff are very knowledgable about the food they serve and wines to match. They change their menu on a reasonably regular basis which is good. My only complaint is... More

Although The Graham offered a fixed priced lunch menue we elected to have A La carte and selected three entrees and shared.Each was excellent and more than enough volume for two people.We added a sald and desert.Wine prices were reasonable and the selection good. Service was friendly and afficient.We will return. This restaurant deserves a higher rating than the 14.5... More

The service is still excellent, but the meals can take a long time to arrive and the selection or choice is average.. Whilst The Graham has seen better days the service and wine selection still stand out...

As always the food at the Graham was clever and fresh. The table service was excellent and the plating was tasteful. The owner (or one of the twin owners) was the problem. A couple arrived without a booking and with a two year old in a pusher. The owner sat them next to our table and directed the wife to... More

Really love this place. The ambience and food quality are always top notch. I've eaten here on around five occasions and finally got around to writing the positive review I always should have. Service: Always friendly. The brothers that run the Graham used to work at Bortolotto's which was a Melbourne insitution and anyone that has been here will instantly... More

We have been to The Graham several times since moving to Port Melbourne and truly believe it is one of the best kept secrets in the city. Disguised as a neighborhood wine bar, it far from it with inviting warm ambience, and offering a fine dining experience, it has far exceeded our expectations on every occasion. Consistent highly professional service,... More

We headed to the Graham for a birthday celebration recently. It was a wonderful evening with beautiful food enjoyed by everyone in our group of nine. We enjoyed a couple of drinks in the bar prior to dinner and the service there was attentive without being intrusive. There is a certain skill involved in catching the eye of your customer... More

We went to the Graham as a last minute decision on a Sunday Night. It was a cold night and inside the open fire (well, gas, but it looked real), kept us very snug. It seems that Sunday night is locals night as the wait staff greeted all the guest warmly and seemed to know what they wanted to drink... More

Combine an imaginative menu, efficient, unobtrusive service and you have the Graham. I have been there many times and have had only one bad experience, which incidentally had nothing to do with the restaurant. To explain I was, on that night, seated next to a table where a woman smelt like a garbage dump.The restaurant was busy so my wife... More
