    Food is amazing!!! Omg! The place is packed, people everywhere so i can understand that service isn’t fantastic, the team seems a little on edge/short fused and could improve a little. But gee, did i say the food was amazing. Beef Laksa was to die for! And good value too.

    Kiss & Tell is a must try. Service was fantastic from the moment we walked in. Our server Sammy was just a breath of fresh air and so engaging. The food: was to die for, especially the lobster sliders, duck curry (probably the best curry I had had in Melbourne) duck cooked to perfection and the curry sauce so velvety and flavourful and paired with the best coconut rice! The restaurant is cosy with a moody vibe and the green velvet bench seating and eye catching artwork just perfect! Loved everything about this restaurant, a great new find for me and one I will definitely be visiting time and time again and have already told friends about. Thank you for a wonderful experience and well done to the chef and staff at this establishment.
