My wife and I had lunch there yesterday. The staff were courteous and helpful albeit still learning there craft. The meals although not large but for the price very good. I had the pa naeng chicken curry while my wife han the roasted barramundi, Both were excellent. The only downside was the vegetables were barely warm or I would have given it 5 stars. We followed up with the white chocolate pear desert and flourless lemon,coconut and almond cake, both were sublime. We will definitely be back next time we visit Melbourne.
