Reviews
"We had the entree and main banquet meal. It was so delicious with a selection that hits most diets if you're eating with a mixed crowd ( our group had two meat eaters and two vegan/veggo people). Our server Alex was absolutely lovely and the French Martini I had was sweet and perfect."
"As a long time fan of The Black Jesus Experience, I only really came to see the band. That being said, I was blown away by the food and service. My bill came to around 60aud, which felt like a steal given I had 3 courses and a couple of imported beers (plus 90 minutes of live music). Only criticism I have is its too far away from me - wish I could go every week!"
"Unfortunately did not have a great experience eating here. We started by ordering 2 dishes and 2 drinks... 30 minutes later a small dish arrived. We reminded our waiter about the other dish and drinks, which he had forgotten. The first meal was also small, so we added another meal to come with the forgotten one. These 2 meals took 1.5 hours to arrive... at the 1.5-hour mark we got up to leave and the manager told us 4 more minutes. It took another 10-15 and more small meals were brought to the table. We also had the beetroot dish that others have complained about on reviews, and it was literally that, some diced up expensive beetroot... We also asked for some water for the table 3 times. When paying the bill the manager or owner (not sure what his role was) did not apologise and then offered us adding a tip for the band, which we declined. There was 2 lovely young wait staff that were clearly just run off their feet, and I place no blame on them. The manager was sitting across from us listening to the Jazz band, I did not see him serve any tables. You'd think you'd help your team out if they were going down. But hey, they do accommodate for gluten free."
"We ate here last night - very attentive and great service. Peter was front of house in this family run business. He was friendly and respectful, checking in on us. The food was amazing - we had the banquet option with 6 vegetarian dishes for 2. There was so much food we couldn’t fit dessert in. Other diners appeared to enjoy their dining experience too! I’ll be going back for sure!"
"My favourite restaurant in Melbourne! Possibly the world. Absurdly good food by a master chef. I always choose the vegan options but have heard the meat is equally amazing. Have been many times - love it!"
