Six of us went for dinner on a Wednesday night. The service was great, the food just as good and very good value too. On Wednesday nights they have a steak special, that's a 400gsm steak, 4 of our group had it and loved it. I had the soup special, and it was amazing too. All up $500 for 3 courses, coffee and 6 men drinking alcohol, very good value.

Three of us who lunched together agreed that our food was excellent and our service was great too. I loved my homemade gnocchi which was not at all gluggy, and the cream brûlée was delicious. We had all dined here before and agreed that The European keeps up a wonderful service with really great food in a pleasant environment. It is a real asset to Melbourne dining. We shall certainly dine here again.
