Bar Exclusive

We had a lunch gathering for a celebration for my son. It was absolutely perfect. I honestly could.not fault them.
Everyone had a main each and we shared a few pizzas, fries and bread. All our guests were amazed by the food and friendliness of staff.
Food is a 10/10
Service 10/10
Cleanliness 10/10

Really lovely atmosphere to enjoy Galentine’s Day with a bunch of school mums, we ate from the set menu and we were served very generous portions. Food was unbelievable, staff were lovely and venue 10/10. We can’t wait to go back.

Discovering multiple favourite dishes in one spot is very unlikely, but this west-side gem has seriously broken the record! 🙌 Hands down, my favourite pasta in Melbourne - TIGER PRAWN SPAGHETTI! 🦐🍝 Don’t miss out on the lamb skewers, bruschetta with goat’s curd, chicken Caesar salad, and Bailey’s Affogato! 🌟

Amazing! From the moment we walked in the moment we got up to leave everything was to die for!! The staff were lovely the food was so delicious! There’s something for everyone even the kids! Definitely recommend and will be coming back for sure!

I ordered the 250g PORTERHOUSE, cooked to perfection, tasted very nice, but seriously, $45 for that small portion? You could have thrown in some greens. Even the BABY BARRAMUNDI $37 for such a small portion of food is overpriced for a bar style place. Not very value for money. Definitely will not be going back there.
