At the @espyhotel the Mya Tiger restuarant has Lucky Hour between 5 - 6pm with $3 fresh Tasmanian oysters, $15 cocktails and the chance to roll the dice to get a double 1, to win a free cocktail. I tried but no double 1 for me đ The tassie oysters were amazing, absolutely delish w some spicy sauce. Just perfect. â€ïž The cocktails are delicious too. They have a great range to choose from, including - Espresso Martini's - Aperol Spritz - Limoncello Spritz - Dragon Fire đ„ - Yuzu Basil Gimlet - Kaffir Lime Tommys and many more. What a selection. You will be spoilt for choice. The views across the bay are spectacular, and the sunsets 𧥠The food menu looks impressive too. Cheers đč

Delicious food with fresh ingredients, a lovely atmosphere, and a great location. It's perfect for a relaxing meal, followed by a walk along the beach. Would definitely come back!

When I come to Melbourne I make it a point to go to the Espy. It has changed over the years and it looks fabulous. Do look around, there are some great bar areas, especially the ghost bar on the top floor, all beautifully decorated in their own way. It is also a live music venue so look up who is playing. If visiting St Kilda add the Espy on your list to visit.

What a beautiful old building. So many different areas to explore. So much character. Food on the other hand is ordinary, typical pub style food as all the other pubs. Corn and Cheese croquettes was probably the highlight. Chicken roll was only OK but definitely not worth the $34. The potato cakes that came with it were way too oily...terrible. The pepperoni pizza was standard but not a stand out. Next time will try their Cantonese restaurant, Mya Tiger, seems like a better option.

My partner and I visited here for a dinner. It didnât go well. I donât normally give review lower than two stars but I will and I do this time. Food We were a bit disappointed by the foods. Entree and mains came at the same time which was not ideal. The entree dishes were waiting for the main in the kitchen for too long and it started getting cold. When the foods were served, we had to rush to eat everything very quick so we donât have to eat stone cold foods. It should not be operated in that way at all. -Crispy Halloumi The combination of halloumi and grapefruit was quite nice and I like the flavour. Very innovative and creative. It was meant to be hot but by the time when it arrived, it was only a bit warm. Perhaps it has been sitting and waiting for our main to be cooked and got cold. But it was still crispy. -Calamari Well cooked. The calamari was not chewy. It was crunchy. Nice amount. But the salad was a bit soggy. But it was just average. -Scotch fillet I wanted to order âblueâ but the app didnât have that option. I had to order it through the app and asked the staff to talk to the kitchen to make it blue. The steak was properly seasoned and cooked. The sauce was very flavourful but it was a little bit too salty. It will be perfect if it was less salty. -Caesar Salad We ordered a Caesar salad with chicken. The chicken was STONE COLD. It was coming straight out of the fridge on to the plate. The egg was also stone cold. I just cannot understand the philosophy behind to service large amount of sliced roster chicken cold in a Caesar salad. The salad dressing was not even enough to tell itâs there. The mustard, Worcestershire sauce, lemon juice in the dressing could barely be tasted in the dressing. Weâve tried Caesar salad from different places and most of them will serve the chicken and egg warm. Itâs not pleasant to have icy cold chicken in the salad in such a cold night and itâs very disappointed to have Caesar salad like that in restaurant in metropolitan area. Service - There were only 3 or 4 staff members on the floor and it was not very easy to ask for help. I had to ask a staff to come around and clean the table which shouldâve been cleaned before. No one even came to the table and asked whether we need table water etc,. It shouldnât have happened in a public holiday evening. - The plate of our salad was shattered while my partner was trying to cut the chicken. The staff member helping us made a bad joke on that saying âOh no! We lost a plate.â I donât think itâs funny. Itâs very embarrassing already when the plate was broken during the meal. We donât need that type of comment. Atmosphere -The lighting was not the best. It was a bit dark to see our foods. Table was not very clean when we sat down. The indoor area was a bit cold too. I couldnât imagine I had to put on my jacket while having a hot meal. That might be also why our foods went cold very quick. Overall This was not the best experience we shouldâve had. To be blunt to say, a lot of places weâve been to in regional Victoria have done way better than that. Compared to the businesses in Melbourne, they might have less resources. So there is no excuse for a business in Melbourne to operate in that level. Suggestions -Make sure entree and main are not served at the same time. -Manor adjustment might be required on recipes. -Trainings are required to ensure staff members will react properly. It is not funny to make jokes in some situation.
