Great dining experience with fantastic service and delicious food. We were guided through the menu and thrilled with the recommendations that we followed. The food was delicious and a good night was had by all. It was a lovely alfresco dining experience and we would all love to go there again. I definitely recommend the broccoli salad and the lychee cocktail.

We live in central Victoria and this was our second time at RPS this year. Food is so very fresh and high quality. Cocktails are great and its become our go-to place when visiting our daughter in Melbourne. It can be noisy at peak times, but if noise is an issue for you, just ask for an outside table. Its in a laneway, so its pretty quiet out there. They have a modern and clever menu with delicious food and a young energetic staff who do a really great job.

Food excellent. The barra! But masa an curry cold? And the replacement dish v v v small for 3 people. Not good.. The worst was the air in the restaurant. Your extractor fans /vents need attention before the the kitchen catches fire! We asked to be moved outside when we arrived .. the air was so stuffy and heavy w kitchen fumes. .. sadly no tables … we had to wait to get outside and then virtually ran out as our eyes were stinging w the fumes. You erre my favourite !!, but I won’t be back unless you can assure me the air is cleaner

Our meal was absolutely divine from the first mouthful to the last. We took advantage of the sharing 5 meals - everything we chose was fresh, delicious and the service was excellent.

Visited a few weeks ago when visiting Melbourne with some friends - really enjoyed it. Returned to dine solo - did not enjoy it. Limited menu options - serving size was small. Ended up paying more than their shared menu. They could take a leaf out of supernormals book in terms of their menu offering for solo diners.

A great find, food was tasty (we had the 5 course selection), a few hits and a few misses (our taste rather than the food), staff were excellent, friendly and informative. Busy place, so booking recommended.

Would highly recommend this establishment. Booking on line was very easy to do. Arrived to be greeted by very amiable, friendly staff. Our waitress was accommodating, helpful and nothing was too much of a bother. Her recommendations of dishes and cocktails were spot on. Appreciated little things like replacing napkins between entree and main dishes. Allowing us to split the bill and the fact some of us paid cash and others by card was not an issue and appreciated. Lovely staff, lovely ambience, delicious food and cocktails - a great place.
