    I want to have a nice late night dinner with my friend. It was raining heavily and there was a bit of a traffic on the road. I was being told by the restaurant even if you come after 10.30pm should not be the problem. We reached by 10.45pm there waited for a while to be seated. We ordered everything and told the waiter to bring entrees first and pasta and pizza together as a mains. But they brought everything together when I told the waiter, some manager or supervisor person came in and said as we arrived late they have to serve all dishes together as kitchen closes at 11.00pm. So strange the waiter did not informed us about this plus manager blaming us for coming late Also the last order was passed on at 11.35pm Utter non sense!!! And we were being served with same pizza just reheated in oven. Also they closes at 12.00am why bother taking bookings or walk ins if closing kitchen at 11.00pm haha Poor management and poor service Please do not visit if you want to hear that you are late and thats your mistake lol.

    We were a little worried after reading some negative reviews, but the food as well as the staff were great. It is a noisy place so don’t go if you want a quiet dinner, but then again this is an area full of tourists and young people it will be hectic every where .. but we did enjoy our food and the staff was attentive, helpful and gracious. I couldn’t decide which white wine to order and was given 2 samples so I could pick .. not many busy places will bother with that! The chicken skewers were delicious and the portion was very large. Last but not least we had no problem whatsoever with our reservation via Open Table. It s a nice lunch and dinner spot and have no problem recommending it!

    It took over 45 minutes from first to last person receiving meals. People had finished before others even started. Only a table of 8. The food was terrible and under cooked in most cases. Pizza was soggy. Chicken Parma dry, burger raw. Tortellini not cooked and prawns were the worst I ever had. So disappointing as it was for mums birthday. On a high - the cocktails were nice.

    3rd time dining here. Food is always great. Thats why we keep coming back. But service is very average and they need some coaching on how to use OpenTable. Even though you have a confirmed booking they can’t find it. Turning up after booking and having no table available is not fun.

    I made a booking for 6 online that they didn’t have luckily we had a photo of the reservation and there was room! It was so loud we couldn’t hear the waitress or eachother. I ordered lamb cutlets and asked for rare and they were burnt and completely opposite to what I ordered. The waitress was unable to answer any questions about the menu she had no idea! I would definitely not recommend this place especially if you’re looking for the Melbourne food experience you can basically go anywhere and get a wonderful meal! Our lunch at the food court in crown was much better! We won’t be coming back

    Unfortunately the Wedges were burnt, my Lemone Chicken was very over powered with the lemon taste it was very sour and hard to eat (like eating an actual lemon). My partners woodfire pizza was amazing, so ate some of he’s as I was very hungry. Service was amazing, the staff were very nice and accommodating. Pity the food was not worth the high price as i could have made a better cheaper Meal at home. Would recommend the place but only for the pizza and service.
