    The staff was accommodating when we changed our booking to 1hr earlier. Unfortunately, the experience was underwhelming, 3 out of 5 dishes we ordered were unavailable so we had to change our order twice, on a Saturday night. Plus, the food was not worth the wait and price. They brought the wrong dish after we had pointed in the menu and asked the waiter to repeat the order. They also missed some of the side dishes (rice paper, even though it was part of the menu). The service was rather slow. The FOH staff took a long time for 2 glasses of wine, 1 mocktail and 2 cocktails. They brought the drinks out one at a time, and the mocktails were quite small and not tasty enough for the prices they charged. They brought us water for the table, once we finished the water bottles, they took the bottles away and never refilled us until we asked for it at the end of the meal. The noodle soup was specifically bland and does not taste good at all. We came because of the good reviews, but these seem to be unreliable. Would not recommend.

    The food was good, but the portions were very small and overpriced. Despite asking multiple times for no chilies, my wife’s dish arrived topped with them. We didn’t want to wait any longer, so she just scraped them off and continued eating. Service also needs major improvement. Our drinks took a long time to arrive, and the first drink was served warm, though they corrected it later. We ordered entrees expecting them all at once, but one only came out with the main meal, which was disappointing. Overall, while the food was tasty, our experience was average due to service delays. We would have loved to stay longer, but waiting 25 minutes for a bottle of beer wasn’t worth it. Hopefully, the service improves in the future!

    The food was amazing but everything was a disappointment. -We were given filthy menus with bits of food so on them - we had to remind staff for our drinks, and when they arrived they were wrong - they reached over us frequently to grab items instead of walking around, dropping dirty cutlery on us - we had to ask them to remove finished plates The live music was great, and the good itself was delicious. Wouldn't rush back due to service

    Disgusting. Service terrible, we had to ask to order as no one approached us, we also had to ask for table water. Then several dishes on the menu were not available. What we did order was overpriced and portions small including poor quality. $42 for a few tiny slices of duck and 2 carrots! $37 for coconut prawns which had 5 prawns soaked in coconut milk?! This is a joke!! We paid $150 and left feeling hungry. By far the worst restaurant I have ever been in Melbourne and I live here which says a lot!! Do not go here EVER! You will be happier eating Subway for a fraction of the price!!

    The food was delicious!! Lots of flavours. Pancake and barramundi fish wrapped in banana leaves were the highlight for us. Quite small portions though.

    This is our second time dining at this beautiful restaurant. We stumbled across this little gem a couple of months ago. We just wanted a place to sit and chat after dinner. On our first visit we ordered their creme brûlée and tiramisu and were absolutely blown away. The owner and head chef served us herself and we were told she has recently won best chef in Hoiana. We couldn’t wait to come back and try their menu. Our second visit we chose a Thursday night as they had Ladies night (2 for 1 cocktail) with live music. The food was amazing and the service was fantastic, friendly and attentive. The live music just topped it off! Thank you Eddie we had the most amazing night and we will sure come back again!
