Everything was off to a great start and the food was really lovely. The service started off great and friendly throughout but slowed down noticeably at the end when we had to flag for a bottle of water and order desserts - took 30 mins to get attention after we had finished our mains. Otherwise a lovely meal and we’d happily come back!

We had an amazing experience last night at Hacienda. The staff looked after us with a great view, as I booked a few months ago and requested it. So nice that it was remembered. The food was to die for, amazing. I loved every dish. The Manager was always checking in to see if we are ok. The beautiful waitresses had the most amazing smile that said ‘welcome’. Please don’t lose that. Most of all, my family of 4 come to the city every year to celebrate the years end. We talked, laughed, made fun of each other, watched a guy swim across the Yarra, and drank. The night was a triumph, the team were a big part of it. Can’t wait to go back.

The waitress who served us absolutely made our experience. I’m not sure if her name but I think she was French. She was kind, friendly and very welcoming. The food was delicious and it was great value to get in with the happy hour cocktails! Opting for the courtyard out front isn’t something I usually do but considering it had been a 30 degree day, it was a balmy night so it was lovely. Overall, great experience!
