Very polite and friendly service, made an online reservation and all went well. Got the Thursday night Set Menu for $45 and the Beef Cheeks from the main menu. Nice and fresh. Seasoned well. Good selection of drinks 🍸 👌 Little bit expensive but worth it.

Ok it's not the prettiest picture. but after a few bites I realized that this is the best burger I've ever tasted. that's why I decided to take a picture of my half eaten burger. I've tasted quite a few burgers in my life but this one is really number 1. The atmosphere is also excellent and I absolutely recommend this place.

I went there the other day and it was amazing and wonderful experience with the charming blend of historic and modern elements, with its open-air design offering stunning views of the Yarra River and the city skyline. The cozy outdoor seating areas and fireplace create a relaxed atmosphere. Its scenic riverside setting makes it a popular spot for dining and social gatherings. 👌

Really pleasant spot by the river. If you want simple but hearty food, here is the place. There's also a reasonably sized outdoor seating area too. Picture attached was my breakfast, I chose the poached eggs on toast with no extras.

The food was tasty and reasonably priced given the location. The wait staff, were polite and talkative. The vibe was pleasant. Ultimately I'd describe the experience as nice and not amazing.
