    A place that restores my faith in restaurants in Melbourne. Warm and engaging service. Oh, there’s great bread and butter. So that’s a win. Food is excellent and cooked with love. Drinks are awesome, and with the might of Prince Winestore behind them, it keeps getting better. A Melbourne classic for a reason.

    An unforgettable experience from start to finish. Every course was not just a meal but a carefully crafted sensory journey—visually stunning, full of bold, balanced flavours, and matched perfectly with soundscapes and lighting that heightened each moment. The attention to detail was extraordinary, from the themed decor to the seamless service. The entertainment wove beautifully through the dining experience, adding humour, emotion, and atmosphere without ever distracting from the food. Truly one of the most immersive and memorable dining experiences I’ve had—an absolute must-do.

    The environment is very elegant, and there aren't many people, so it's not crowded. Because it was a bit cold today, even though there were no customers in the store at that time, the heating was still turned on in advance. The dishes are very delicious. I think this is the best steak I've ever had in Melbourne. Finally, I would like to say that the service here is very good. I especially want to thank the staff today, which made this anniversary even more complete.
