    As we were overnighting at Melbourne airport we decided to treat our son and partner to a birthday dinner at Airo restaurant. We had eaten there before and not been particularly impressed. This time was different. Both the food and the service were excellent. Not a cheap option but on this occasion worth it.

    We booked the pre theatre option at Pure South Dining. The preset menu was amazing, beautifully presented and all courses were delicious. Their service was friendly and professional. The view over the Yarra was fabulous. We finished our meal with plenty of time to get to our theatre booking. We will return.

    Very cool looking venue with mural, foliage and illuminated sign. Friendly service. $14 workers lunch which is good value. We shared the snitzel wrap and chips but the wrap needed more sauce/flavour, and the chips were not salted enough. Nice and spacious rooftop with an undercover area. We went on a really hot day and although there were fans and coverings it was extremely warm and uncomfortable though lovely and cool downstairs in the restaurant section.

    Celebrated another birthday dinner at Switch. Great company, delicious food, friendly staff and relaxed atmosphere. The chicken tacos were packed with flavour! The nutella donuts were nice, but way too much for one person. Perfect to share between 3 people.
