    Great food, service and decor but spoilt by one small and very solvable issue. The entry door needs a stronger door closer and we had the leave our table several times to close the door to stop from freezing. Ora screen is needed to stop the blasts of cold air . The front desk hostess spent most of her night closing the door as patrons arrived or left. If you book don’t book downstairs or if you do ask for a table at the rear of the restaurant. But management, please fix this!

    Loved everything about our experience at Rowanos! The food was sensational, as was the service from the staff. Our kids loved the big pillow cushions on the bench seats too! Can’t believe we haven’t been here until now when we live so close! We’ll be back quick smart and in a hurry!

    Beautiful food and great service - the only disappointment was that we booked a downstairs table as we had my 88 year old mum with us. When we arrived we were directed upstairs (even though when I booked I was able to select downstairs) Mum did manage but not easily. Other than that it was a lovely lunch thanks

    Of course we weren’t expecting a lot as you do when you head out in Melbourne these days but we were met by great people including the owner that made us all feel very welcome. The food was really good. We will go back again
