Delicious food, well executed and a solid variety. Lovely staff. It was a hot day so the dining room was extremely warm, making it rather uncomfortable for guests.

Wanting a feel for Australian cuisine, we selected the sampler on the menu. Six courses representing plenty of food and a wide variety of items came our way. All tasted fantastic. The grilled wallaby, lamb, and smoked trout were especially satisfying. The price was a little steep but we had a great dining experience.

The chefs are really clever in what they prepare for each dish, delicious food, amazingly presented (wish they would share their recipes as a memento of the dining experience). Prepare yourself for a massive feast of 13 dishes. Staff are friendly, ensuring a warm welcome and a comfortable dining experience. The restaurant has elegant décor and views of Melbourne, making it ideal for special occasions. The restaurant is in high demand, so prepare to book few months in advance. Truly a memorable experience.
