I've dined in this place several times for both lunch and dinner and have never been disappointed. The venue is beautifully done. The do an outstanding job catering for my food allergies. The service is very good. The food is outstanding. I love this place and can't wait to return when back in Melbourne.

One of my all time favourite restaurants. Love the fact they recognise their signature dishes, the Beef Carpaccio, the Duck, and do not dissapoint the regulars by taking these much loved dishes off the menu just for the sake of it. Excellent wait staff and all round great dining experience.

This became even more annoying when he proceeded to seat us next to one of the restaurants terminals and cutlery draws despite the restaurant being only a quarter full.. We... More
