My partner and I went there for anniversary celebration. The furniture was dated and since my partner has back problem, she felt uncomfortable to sit on the chair. The food was above average and so as the price. The sashimi and sushi was disappointing as it was not as fresh as I read other people's reviews to claim that their sashimi and sushi were the freshest. But the oysters were surprisingly delicious. The tempura was the highlight of the meal, it was cooked to perfection. I surprised my partner by buying a bouquet of flowers and a present and hand them to the waiters before my partner arrived. They were very helpful to keep it in a safe place for me. My partner just loved it. The service was excellent and the waiters were very polite and helpful. The overall experience was good and I would visit again in the future.

Approximate cost: $70

The Charcoal BBQ was the best in Melbourne so far!! I would say the set menu for 4 people is sufficient for 5-6 people. The Wagyu beef was excellent and all the dishes were seasoned perfectly. Definitely will go back there!!

I went to order a take away for two people and there was only one table of customers when I went in there. The waitress was friendly and she said it will be a fifteen to twenty minutes wait. We waited for forty minutes and the food was finally there. When we arrive home, the food is still hot and delicious and I think it's worth the wait. But next time I will definitely call early to order!

My partner and I had a late lunch at around 2pm. There was just 3 tables of customers when we walked in. The delivery of food is within reasonable time, however, both of our pastas were very disappointing. They were dry and the sauce was much worse than the can that we can buy in supermarket. Not sure if it's just one incident or not, but we would not visit there again.

The first round of the seafood was pretty fresh, however when they refilled the seafood, it was very salty. I was quite disappointed with the seafood. The positive side is that the waiters were very attentive and polite. Also, the desserts were very appealing. That was my partner's birthday that day and they gave her a birthday cake that was of a very high standard. Overall, this was a satisfactory experience but not good enough for me to visit next time as it is too pricey compared to the quality of food we had.

Approximate cost: $61

The risotto is the best that I ever had!! Also, the seafood in the Marinara linguine is very fresh. The only negative is that it is a bit expensive. So we usually go there at lunch as there is special with a risotto and drink. Definitely will recommend to others.

Approximate cost: $20
