    Excellent Restaurant to celebrate or just experience magnificent food. For an intimate or small group dinner. 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.

    Definitely value for money - Thursday night $25 steak night. Dressing on the salad was delicious, the seasoning on the chips was amazing, the steak was cooked to perfection and the accompanying mushroom sauce was define and the cider went down a treat on a hot night. Service was quick and efficient and delivered with a smile. Everything was on point.

    Make a large group booking for my birthday and it went fantastically! Our table was reserved despite it being a busy night and the staff were so friendly and helpful! Gorgeous city views! Even though the staff were slammed they were so caring and genuinely happy to assist, really appreciated their kindness with our large group!
