Lots of room around the tables. Staff friendly and prompt service. Well worth the dinning experience - view of the city all worked in with the environment of the Restaurant. Entering a building off a laneway into a lift to the restaurant - very Melbourne . Highly recommend.

Hands down one of the best places I’ve been to for a nice romantic dinner or dinner with mates! 10/10 recommend to anyone as the food, drinks and service is unmatched. Will deffinetly be returning, thank you!

Food was very good but service was very bad. I won’t be coming back. Myself and two friends spent $451 and felt it the value was not there at all. After addressing this to the manger we were offered nothing. Even after my glass was given to me with a huge chip in it.

The quality of the food and service was outstanding. The seafood was exceptional quality as was the rest of the food. It was also plentiful, being re-stocked regularly. The desserts were to die for! Couldn’t recommend highly enough. We will definitely be back!
