We went here during The Age Good Food Week offer, opting for the fixed price, set menu $40 deal. We had the choice of two courses and a glass of wine, and a cup of coffee. We both opted for the main, chicken and the dessert, which had the interesting name "mess."
Our wine was served very promptly and although the advertised red wine was not available, a substitute was offered in the package price. We were offered a taste for approval, a nice touch. Warm dinner rolls were served soon after the wine, and bottled tap water.

Our waiter was attentive but not intrusive. A dropped serviette was whisked away and replaced, photographs taken and some friendly chat exchanged.

Our meals were excellent, the presentation, taste, everything was just right. I used my last piece of roll to wipe the plate, it was so tasty I did not want to waste a drop.
The "mess" arrived and it was not your average pretty dessert, but oh boy, it was wonderful. Berries scattered in cream with some lovely sauce, the tastes all blended in and the blueberries were the best I have ever had.
The coffee was excellent too and we agreed it was a very nice meal.
The atmosphere is very much a cafe, it was crowded and noisy but we were able to comfortable converse and the table next to us was comfortable distant.

All the staff were pleasant and helpful and the regular menu looked inviting. Most St Kilda Road trams stop very close by and this offer was excellent value for money.
