Reviews
"Interesting place. Happy hour runs from 4:30 to 6:30 pm with good value drinks. You can use the QR to order, and the drinks come promptly. I've given four stars for the food. It was standard Pub food with an excellent vegetarian menu. However, I ordered the salmon, and it was a small piece floating in a watery sauce that I think was supposed to be the lemon caper butter. Not very tasty and I was still hungry when I finished the meal. However, it might have been a bad choice as everyone else's meals were good."
"Wagu ‘401 burger’ was the most disappointing thing I have ever seen or eaten. Cold burger bun made soggy by the pickle half sat on top. Cold chips. Tactfully mentioned all this to the bar staff (when they asked) only to be told that cooking the bacon until it was brittle and hard was the chef “adding texture”. FML"
"Great hotel, bar or restaurant to visit if you are in Melbourne Huge dining area Reasonably priced meals that look delicious Wonderful staff. So nice to meet you Carmelo I hope you do well in Australia Call in and have a drink or feed"
"On the last day of our trip to Melbourne, we wanted to have a dinner out, somewhere nice and came across this place on our way back to the hotel and decided to try it. It certainly did not disappoint. The place is fantastic, nicely decorated and the atmosphere was fantastic. It was not crazily noisy and we could at least hear ourselves talking. The display on the wall was amazing. The food was great, we had the mussels, potato cakes and schnitty. The service was quick and the staff were extremely helpful. It's a place that we would definitely go back again and would recommend it to others. Thanks for making our visit enjoyable."
"Recommended this spot to a couple of friends and they loved this place as much as we did! Like everyone else who has reviewed this establishment, I’m super impressed by the unique interior and friendly staff. We had a delightful server whose name I didn’t catch and she gave great cocktail recommendations despite not being a drinker herself. We enjoyed everything we ordered especially the char grilled broccoli. Frosty Fruit is a cocktail I will fondly miss and will likely bug some bartender to recreate in the near future. We’ll definitely be back for more!"
