Such a cute place! Mentioned in my booking we were there for a birthday celebration and was gifted a $20 voucher at our table. The staff were so lovely and considerate, plus our drinks and food came super quick despite it being quite a busy Saturday! Would definitely recommend :)

This place is popular for a reason. On a busy Saturday night, the staff managed to remain calm as they navigated through tight walkways to get trays of drinks to the right tables. The decorative plants are lovely. If you sit on the eastern side of the venue, you get a front row seat to the Christmas water show. The QR code ordering is convenient and it's great that you can order tap water in a carafe (and even raspberry cordial) to your table for free. The online menu will even tell you if there's a 30 or 45 minute wait for cocktails. The calamari was delicious. The music is quite loud, and it was difficult to talk to people not directly next to you.

Walked into this botanical paradise on the Yarra and the staff were so welcoming and accommodating, despite us not having reservations. We were able to get a seat at the bar while we waited, and got ourselves a drink to start our evening off. They have an amazing selection of drinks to choose from, so no fear that they will have something that suits your tastes. Once we were seated at a table we ordered some nibbles to eat while we enjoyed the awesome ambiance of the place. They're very generous with their portions, and delicious to boot. Also from what I could see other tables getting, the rest of their menu looks super tasty. Can't wait to come back again to enjoy the best vibes on the Yarra!

An excellent addition to the Yarra. We alive this river, bringing life to our city. This establishment has fantastic staff, a great unpretentious atmosphere and staff that care - not seen since COVID. Love it. Will be back

Went there for some appetizers and drinks. We ordered the crispy haloumi and the flatbread and a few cocktails. Everything was great. Especially the haloumi. The thing that bothered me is that we had to ask for water and I always watch places if they bring you water as soon as you sit. Another small thing is that you have to order with qr code, which is fine but when that's the way to order, you have to order free open WiFi. I know most people will have data on their phone, but there are people who won't have it especially tourists. So you can't have that for ordering while not offering wifi. Other than these 2 minor things, everything here Is great and you are dining or drinking while on a boat. Granted it isn't going anywhere, but it is still a bit different. I would go back if I lived around here.
