    This was an exceptional experience. Everything had been thought out to the minute detail. We have been to many 3* Michelin restaurants in Europe and this restaurant equates to the best. The food was wonderful , the service second to none. The culinary theatre was spectacular. You felt the team worked like a well oiled machine. Everyone pitched in, down to the sommelier also waiting on table. You felt that this was a culinary family who were keen to ensure that every diner had the very best experience. This meal was a celebration of our 50 th wedding anniversary and the team were keen to acknowledge this. There were so many nice touches that there were too many to mention individually. The wine parings were super and the sommelier was helpful, well informed and above all enthusiastic about the wines he had on his list. This is a real gem one that Melbourne and Australia should be really proud of. We can not recommend it more highly.

    I have been to this venue a sister cafes also. Whilst the service was good, I’m sorry to report that the food hasn’t been up to scratch. The additional chicken I have added for the burrito bowl previously has been dry. This time I ordered the salmon bim bim bap and the salmon was overcooked and dry, along with the egg being overcooked also. Otherwise the flavours are nice. More care needs to be taken into the cooking of food. Otherwise service is great.
