Hawthorn East Restaurants

Returning patrons, celebrating daughter’s 18th with grandparents. We all love Rococo and once again we weren’t disappointed. The cuisine was exquisite and were especially appreciative of the vegan menu. My daughter enjoyed her cocktail and the drinks list is fantastic. The staff were attentive and fun. Great night out.

We had an early table at 5:45 upstairs. It’s a great room and we were sitting in the area between the kitchen and the bar which was quite narrow, but the staff were very attentive and watching always for anyone moving in that narrow section the restaurant had an amazing turnover of people. Which I would think was a testament to the good service and the good food lots of families having, a quick meal plus others who were grazing and enjoying the atmosphere. The fit out is really really wonderful. Everything was tiptop from the time we walked into the restaurant to the time we left. Nothing was too much trouble. The food was exemplary. we had oysters, fish and steak. The steak could’ve melted in my mouth like it was covered in butter, the oysters were incredible. The cheese platter was incredible. You know I have to say for a local restaurant. It’s a nine out of 10. We will be back at least 100 times thanks for looking after us Grazie.

This was a return visit to Cafe Paradiso as we enjoyed it last visit. It did not disappoint this time either. My Salmon was cooked very well my friends truffle risotto gave her a great truffle fix! It could have been presented a little better maybe a bit of garnish. The staff Kelly, Miles, Kim were very good and attentive. Unfortunately I forgot to ask our host what his name is, my apologies, but he has been with CP for some time and runs the show expertly. I recommend this place and will be back.

It is not my first time dining in MOB. Very nice place with lovely, friendly staff.
