Hi, we had a 2for1 deal to try this place out, and found the food to be fantastic! We tried the 'trust the chef' degustation.. which were smallish samples of a wide variety of seasonal produce, which totally filled us by the end !.. Some of what we had..: -Amuse-bouche - crushed ice melon with prosciutto -Tasting platter of three... More

We dined here on a voucher, we had purchased two but The Victorian could only manage to honour one!!! These people obviously don't understand that vouchers are to "showcase" your restaurant. Right from the start there were issues, you had to book via email. What they didn't mention was they were closed from Christmas until 11th January and the voucher... More

Nice venue but really, really bad experience in every other way. Honestly they haven't got a clue. We could have just been unlucky on the night of course.

Very bad experience. The hostess was surly and did nothing to make us feel welcome. Entrees took 35-40 minutes to appear after ordering, Two dollar-size scallops for $15 = Highway robbery. Mains did not appear for 75 minutes after ordering, which was puzzling since there were only 5 or 6 other guests in the restaurant. Between us we ordered 4... More

Owner very tentative and attention to detail. Food excellent and staff friendly. Great location for breakfast or afternoon drinks/ snacks. Sometimes open for dinner - but can be booked out for special functions.
