Best Restaurants for Groups in Elsternwick

Always exceptional service by the floor staff and wonderful food.

We enjoyed really delicious food at Donovan’s - we loved the specials, particularly the anchovies and kingfish crudo. The service was excellent, our waiter was super friendly and very attentive and our water was always topped up. I’d definitely recommend dining here, although the only challenge was that we were seated by the window facing the sun and it was uncomfortably warm as the lightweight blinds gave little shelter from the heat!

A great place to kick off 2025. The restaurant was packed but the staff were friendly and unflustered. We were asked if we would like to move to a window table that became available - we took up the offer and enjoyed the wonderful view. Great assistance from a staff person in selecting our wine. Generous servings of food that was delicious. Minus 1 star for small portions of seafood in my pasta but aside from that I would highly recommend.

The service was good and the staff was friendly. The food was really nice and the coffee was good as well. Highly recommended, and only a quick stroll to the botanical gardens.

Always a treat eating here... food and service: top of the rostrum! The 2 wait staff today were amazing! Chefs seem to make consistently great food. It's why we love this place!
