   Inside is perfect for a cute date, outside is perfect for a meal with friends or family. All the food is incredible. Our only negative was only 2 mock tails on the menu and they were pretty average. Add some fancy mock tails/non alcoholic versions and it would be perfect

   The perfect place to debrief with a group after events at the Convention Centre. The selection of drinks and snacks works well to suit most preferences and staff are flexible and friendly.

   We attending the venue with a large group for my husbands birthday. We all had our children and this was no problem. The staff were very accommodating to the children bringing them toys and letting them play on the stage. We ordered using the QR code which is so convenient. You just have to be very mindful of the water as it has open fences. Otherwise we will definitely be attending again.

   Nice food, good vibe. For some reason not all the available drinks at the bar come up in the Menu App, a walk to the bar its always interesting but can be a thing when the place is busy. Other than that will certainly keep going back.

    Great location, and our group was well seated within the cafe area. Food service was good, though food for other tables was sometimes presented to us in error. Not everyone likes to use their phones for ordering however.

    Great venue. ESP for children! The food was mixed up a bit but I think this was because there was a large group of us. Burgers were a bit soggy. Otherwise it was fine. Drinks were expensive but that’s Melbourne I guess.

    Overall fairly poor experience. Wait staff were sassy and rude and brought over beers but didn’t know which was which. The food was standard, nothing special. Our booking was for a really large group (20) but we were split over three tables despite there being other tables we could have used and sat together at. I could see how it would be a much better summertime venue but doesn’t change the attitude from staff.

    We decided to try this place for a little catch up with the girls to celebrate a friend's birthday. We went for the bottomless drinks and we were very happy with how quickly they came out. The staff were very friendly and the food, even though it was a bit slow to come out to begin with, was very tasty. We'll definitely be going back there! 👍

    great place for a casual meet up. Good shared plates: easy ordering via Q code and staff would check in on you regularly. Great spot on the river although our table was at the back of the yard. Would recommend as a place to catch-up for a drink and snack/meal.

    We had booked and our reserved table was quite small but the concierge immediately offered a larger table. The food was delicious and the noise level not too bad. We would go again

    Honestly, this was kind of disappointing. We went for the 90’s Mixtape brunch as a group of 10 to celebrate a birthday. On arrival they claimed they didn’t have our group booked in despite us showing them multiple email & text confirmations (turned out the host was missing a page of the booking sheet) Brunch/drinks package was supposed to start at 2.30, we arrived at 2.25 but were not seated until 2.45 and were told no drinks would be served until payment was taken, however only the 2 managers could process payments so we waited some more to do that. Managed to eventually pay and sat back down at our table to wait again for our server to come round, got sick of waiting so went to the bar and were told we could not order drinks there, finally got the attention of wait staff and ordered, got our first round of watery “cocktails” at about 3.10pm At one point there were almost as many staff as there were patrons in the place however service still seemed to be battling, no one seemed to have any idea what was going on or who was responsible for what, I get that it’s hard to find staff right now but this was almost comical how bad it was. Food was average, not bad but definitely nothing memorable. This event has so much potential to be awesome but the disorganised service, “meh” food and watery drinks made it a thumbs down for our group, especially when you compare the standard of food, drinks and service to other bottomless brunches at say Half Acre or Captain Baxter.

    Very limited options for breakfast on the menu, only 4 items to select from Restaurant ran out of Croissants? I cant believe this although our reservations for 11 people was booked days before 15 mins to get a coffee? the waitress even forget to get a coffee for our of our friend Overall not a very good experience, ambiance was amazing but we are not going back again.

    Truly exceptional service and great food and drinks spoiled somewhat by the insanely loud music - like crazy loud nightclub level - at lunchtime. It's a shame because I really like this place but the music is too much.
