Blacksmith Bar & Grill 30 Timothy Lane, Melbourne, Victoria 3000

"Service and atmosphere here is 5 stars. The view is stunning at night and the interior is amazing and perfect for a date night. However, food was very average. I felt like they haven’t actually found their own flavour, the menu is quite disoriented. The highlight for me was probably the kingfish sashimi and the garlic bread. Apart from that, the main dish were okay, steak cut was not the best, a bit dry too. And the chicken was especially salty. I do think they have room for improvement though considering the place and service, they just need to put more thoughts on the menu and what they want to specialise in to focus on delivering the right flavour as not all their dishes are considered bad. Regardless, still enjoy spending my anniversary here, the staff gave us a free champagne and took a nice picture for us too :)"

"We attended a Dal Zotto Winery dining experience at The Blacksmith's Bar & Grill. We had great food with matched wines, the wait staff were wonderful. Our party of four really enjoyed the venue's ambiance & and the city views."

"Stunning venue! As soon as those lift doors open and you walk through to the luxurious dining area, the venue commands your attention to soak in the mood-lit romantic vibes of this trendy bar & grill. The ambient dining area is lit from the show kitchen and flickering lights from neighbouring buildings peeping through the floor-to-ceiling glass windows that allows you to oversee the breathtaking rooftop city views. From the moment you arrive, the elegant and intimate ambiance sets the stage for a truly special dining experience. The staff were very attentive throughout the evening and we were fortunate enough to be taken care of by Jason Lau, the dining director. He was very knowledgeable with regards to the menu and produce and recommended a special 1.5kg T-bone which was not on the menu. It was impeccable as were all the side dishes we had and the chocolate delice dessert. The drinks were also delicious (passionfruit was my poison) to top off a memorable night. Blacksmith Bar & Grill is the true definition of a 5 star dining experience: venue, service and food all top-tier and I'm already looking forward to a return visit for a sunset dinner on the terrace."

"Great restaurant, love the interior design, renovations, and furniture. Great vibe for dates and social gatherings. The wait staff were amazing and helpful. Starters and entrees were quite small for the price point. We got the Tomahawk steak which was great value. Enjoyed the experience, definitely worth a try!"

"This was a confusing experience. The expectation was rather high especially when you walk into the dining room with views of the city. The presentation of everything gives you the impression of a top tier restaurant dining experience but the confusion started with asking where my drink was. When it turned up it was the wrong drink and, ended up with two drinks. The steak was presented well but was overdone and warm like it had sat for a tad too long and one of starters had a large blob of avocado which, seemed disproportionate to the number of slices of fish. I was confused as for the $80 odd dollars for the set menu there are some phenomenal better value meals around the city. Most of the dishes were overall good just not what you’d expect from the overall experience and vibe."
