Food is average, much better restaurants in the Crown precinct available than this place, but there are also much worse restaurants in the Crown precinct!! More

We had a top quality meal at Number 8 last night. We arrived in Melbourne for a stopover late afternoon and ventured downtown to get a feel for the city. Having been advised that Southbank was the place to be we were spoilt for choice. In the end we opted for Number 8 as we could dine outside (a novelty... More

The wait staff at this restaurant were spot on. The restaurant management has created a seemingly flawless method of service - providing an almost abundant number of staff for each aspect of dining - beverage staff, food service staff, sommeliers and customer service staff - meaning that when you eat here, your glass is never empty, your table and empty...

Nice setting. You need to book a table as it will get so busy on the weekend. We had a table outside which was lovely. The food was good and the staff were nice. More

Excellent food and service and, all in all, offered what was expected and promised. Ambience is great for a special occasion. The flames and riverside location is great. A window table is a must. More

My meal was just okay, absolutely nothing memorable about it. It's not cheap so you'd expect it to be special but unfortunately it's not. Service was fine, the place itself is nice enough but not as good as the restaurants surrounding it and the food just lacks anything to make you go wow! More
