Definitely the best coffee down this part of Center Road though that's all I will be getting from now on. Stopped for lunch and even though I requested a seat inside and agreed to come back in ten minutes they gave my seat away so had to settle for outside lunching in the cold. Very crowded and found it hard to hear my partner through all the other conversations and traffic screeching around us.

Like the previous review we ate here because we could easily get a seat at 7pm on a Saturday night - even with a group of 12 people! Our waiter was lovely, very attentive and patient as a few of our guests may or may not have had downed some hard liquor prior and gotten somewhat loud! He didn't mind and even entertained them. Menu is quite vast and caters to anyone. I had a chicken parma though I found it to be bland, more like cardboard with a few sprinkles of oregano on top. But I seemed to be the only one who found this as two other girls whom ordered the same as I did where satisfied! Oh well maybe it was just my dish but I suppose I would return again and try out the beef ragu or a pizza.

I've heard a few people raving about this place lately so decided to try it out since I was in the area for lunch. Took me a while to find their shop but I should have kept an eye out for a small store packed with people! Bit of a wait to get served but it was so worth it. I had the open bun as recommended by our server and it was so good. That good and cheap mind you we decided to go back for seconds and we would have if there wasn't an even bigger line than before! Will be back soon!

I hate to leave bad reviews but this was horrible. Service was appalling. Though our waiter was 'friendly' we had to wait some time for service, not to mention close to an hour wait on our pizzas which were bland. My partner trying to leave some constructive criticism to the manager virtually walked away while he was still talking to him. We wished we spoke before paying as we would have walked right on out without paying after that treatment.

Utterly impressed with the quality of service here which literally goes above and beyond; very attentive, friendly and respectful. Was a little apprehensive dining out with a friend of ours and her four year old son, since prior to dining with them I found a lot of 'high end' restaurants and their patrons don't like to cater for children but this was not the case as our waiter brought out a special children's menu. Food was delicious, especially the sashimi. Just delicious.

Invited out for dinner on a Saturday and found it to be packed. Luckily our friends had booked a table as I noticed another party involved in heated argument over waiting on available tables! Aside from that it was an enjoyable night, overall nice menu of hearty pub food but with a 'fancy' twist and priced more towards the 'fancy' side. I had their barramundi and my partner indulged in porterhouse steak which he raved about! I wasn't as blown away as he was as I felt mine was a little under-seasoned, regardless was still a nice night.

Gosh the view alone is something special but the service, food and drinks are spectacular. On the decadent side of things so be prepared to splash out a tad more money than the usual but it's really so worth it. Beautiful interiors and ambiance, didn't get rowdy or loud but very classy and sophisticated. Staff are attentive and lovely, exactly what you'd expect (but don't always get) when paying premium pricing. Definitely a great night to catch up with friends and even better for a romantic date night over Melbourne and great wine!

Love this place, a friend introduced me to it last week and have gone back twice since! Presentation is exceptional as is the food. Besotted with the raspberry and honeycomb cheesecake!

Really enjoyed my prosciutto pizza which I found to be quite generous in topping! However service was too slow and our waitress was way to distracted and a little 'all over the place' but atmosphere was pleasant so would probably eat here again if in the neighborhood.

Friendly staff however found our meal to take a little too long. Satay chicken rice paper rolls were quite nice though duck pancakes had too little duck! Price is fairly reasonable, more on the cheaper side though service was too slow for my liking.
