Our waitress was outstanding with the way she showed and explained everything to us from the menu to the drinks to the specials and communication during our experience. Will definitely be coming back with others in to experience it for themselves also

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.
