    The service from start to finish was on point. Every contact we had from being seated to waited upon all evening was top notch! The food ... delicious. Shared oysters for a starter. Steak was prepared exactly how we asked for it. The cod was perfectly cooked. Carrots & chips for sides. We did get carried away with ordering but loved trying it all. If you can fit it in the tarte de tan is a must - we couldn't of course but got a take home to enjoy today! Definitely a restaurant we will be coming g back to and bringing out friends. Oh...also got a special "happy birthday" plate of truffles. Lovely touch :)

    I can't recommend Lagoon Dining highly enough—it's hands down my favourite restaurant in Melbourne, and I eat out a fair bit through work. Chris and Keat are genuinely humble and welcoming, creating an atmosphere that's relaxed and effortlessly comfortable. The food is consistently excellent; the shredded potato, salted fish fried rice, and the char siu are particularly stand-out dishes. Lagoon Dining really is an amazing find.
