    Riverside setting and prices good but food and service just ok

    Everything about it is just ok not special. There are lots of restaurants to choose from on the riverside and so it can be a bit hit and miss, but this place seemed lively so we thought we would give it a go. The staff...More

    Good Steak Special

    Had dinner at this restaurant on a Monday evening. They had a $20.00 Steak special which also included a drink. Very good deal to say the least. Not sure if it was just a Monday night special but we took advantage of it for sure....More

    Waste of time

    We travel a lot and we love the dining culture of Melbourne. Alas we were very very dissatisfied. The Waygu burger was a very very poor McDonalds knock off. In fact for half the price McDonalds would have been better. The chips were cold and...More

    Great venue overlooking the river

    Great little venue overlooking the river and great for people watching along the southbank promenade. A nice selection of tap beers, a decent range of good quality wines and by the looks of the drinks moving past the table, cocktails were a speciality. The food...More

    Nice spot for drinks or dinner by the water
