   Food is always great, the service very friendly from both wait staff and chefs and these people just do whatever is necessary to make you feel welcomed as a guest and all hospitality staff should be trained here.

   First few dishes were 10/10. Service was intermittently terrible, on a quiet night it took 10 minutes to get a waiters attention to order a drink while bar staff were chatting and drinking behind the bar. The main course was swapped from lamb to goat without notice, and it wound up being too tough to eat. The cocktails were very good. For a $170 per person price tag, I would hope for better consistency and service.

   I had two specials: oysters and crab. Both fantastic but the surprise was the kangaroo with bone marrow. Succulent and tender. I also tried serai’s wine and it paired very well. Overall, I loved my experience- the staff was lovely and knowledgeable. If I was really hungry I’d go for the chef’s menu. When and if I come back from New Zealand I’ll definitely return!

   All the staff were very friendly and laid-back. Each dish was very different to the last but so very tasty. Will definitely be looking to visit when in Melbourne again.

   Had a great dinner at the Chef’s Table - a small counter overlooking the kitchen. We had 8 or so dishes as part of the 105AUD ‘Chef’s Menu’ and were so full we decided to box some of it up! Great service, lots of attention, friendly staff and a really great experience! The wine pairing didn’t disappoint either!

   Our experience at this particular restaurant was very pleasant. My wife is Filipina so she knew what to order,, so she ordered dishes that she knew we'd both enjoy and we were not disappointed at all. The service was excellent to say the least, our server was very attentive, friendly and quite knowledgeable with regards to the menu. The location is easy to find and ambience of this place is really nice. It's down an alleyway so no one pushing past and no real traffic noise, just the friendly sounds of the area. As is the norm in this area, the meals are a little on the expensive side but this is to be expected given the high quality of the food and service. We would definitely recommend a meal at this lovely restaurant, it's well worth it. make sure you book a table before you arrive though.

    The food and service were incredible! We got the chef’s feed me with matched wines and were so impressed by every single dish. Definitely will be heading back to try the items on the menu we didn’t get to taste!
