Food was delicious and great value. We had the olives, bread , dip and pate to share and it was fantastic. The baba ganoush was roasty and yum. Mains were all delicious and were elevated pub food, at very reasonable prices. The staff were so friendly, helpful and relaxed . We sat outside on a beautiful Melbourne evening and loved the chat and the beers ( a mix of tap and alcohol free) watching the life outside. The rooms inside though look charming. Thank you for a great night

The chefs are really clever in what they prepare for each dish, delicious food, amazingly presented (wish they would share their recipes as a memento of the dining experience). Prepare yourself for a massive feast of 13 dishes. Staff are friendly, ensuring a warm welcome and a comfortable dining experience. The restaurant has elegant décor and views of Melbourne, making it ideal for special occasions. The restaurant is in high demand, so prepare to book few months in advance. Truly a memorable experience.
