Had a family dinner at our regular dinner spot. The spaghetti marinara was good as usual and delicious! The chicken schnitzel was also crisp, nice and tender. The steak was however overcooked (meant to be medium rare). The usual white tablecloth is now gone. This is a pity as the dining room now looks darker, less fresh and inviting because the tables are dark brown/black. That does affect the ambience.

One of the best meals I've had in a while. We booked for an early seating which may have helped. Staff were very attentive and food delivered was of a high standard. Expected to pay $$$. However it was for my wife's birthday and the ambience was nice plus we were staying at Voco Melbourne

What a great experience here! The food was delicious, the service was very good and we had a lovely meal overall. It was a birthday meal and our party brought our own cake, the staff here even decorated it on a plate and sang for the birthday.
