Restaurants near Mount Pakenham

Food was great. Appetizer, main and dessert. I was full but not too full. I had the arancini but also sampled the short rib and the duck. Tres leche tiramisu cake was delicious. We were there before it got busy so the noise level was rising by dessert. Coat check was a nice touch. Service attentive and professional.

Our waiter was amazing the cooks were fantastic and Management was great.

Love going to NeXT because the food experience and ambience is always so exceptional. Barb, who was a pleasure to be served by, made us some great drinks and great recommendations. Thank you to the staff at NeXT & we look forward to the next experience with you. Anna

Our server was exceptional. She has served us before. She confirmed whether or not there were allergies as she remembered serving me and having to modify an order (my sister has celiac). She is friendly, attentive, gave the appropriate amount of attention to our table. I hope next time I return we are served by her again. I forget her name. She has a lovely tattoo sleeve filled with flowers.

We had a great time at this restaurant. Seating was comfortable. Drinks were excellent. The interior is very welcoming and good music in the background. We only had appetizers so I can’t judge the mains. We were all too busy talking and snacking to enjoy a full meal. Ha ha. We will be back to have a steak but I will add the presentation of each app we had was very well done. Great experience and our host and waitress were excellent.
