Top quality wine bar in a magical Melbourne village. One of the best cocktails I’ve ever had. The Lennox team were very busy as it was Valentine’s Day but was very impressed with this wine bar.

Food was delicious! Atmosphere was a little noisy though, and water bottles and glasses were on the opposite side of the venue to where we were seated. Would be helpful to have a couple of water stations in my opinion, or water offered as standard when being seated at the table perhaps.
