Absolutely amazing, as always. Every time I have visited another Melbourne I eat here. This place is so busy, for a good reason, the food is amazing. Btw the Limoncello is from Sorrent, Italy and it is amazingly good.

Waited around an hour and a half. Meals still hadn't come out. Asked several staff about where the meal was both couldn't tell us we also had to chase it up again. Offered 1 free round of drinks. I was the only one drinking beer. So we were going to get a free beer and 3 cokes like really a couple of drinks is nothing to them. People had come in half an hour after we ordered & they got there meals well before us. Sooo we left without dinner Worst experience.

Great food and atmosphere. Best pesto pasta I've had in a long time. The Maitre D went out of his way to accommodate for our dietary requirements (gluten free and vegan) and provided great table service. Whilst there was one meal which was made differently to how we had ordered it, which resulted in an extra 15-20m wait time, the Maitre D was very apologetic and didn't charge us corkage due to the inconvenience. Prices were also very reasonable. All in all, a great experience. Highly recommended.

Waited hour and 10 minutes to be served $32 of a seafood pasta dish with 4 small prawns and a handful of pasta. Pizza was also cold.
First time for me writing a poor review, however not happy at all

The ribeye was cooked from frozen, came with fries. Just pathetic for $40.00. The salad was old and vinegary and the cheesecake was put in the microwave before serving. The eggplant for $14.00 was a good laugh. $170.00 for two peoples with no alcohol. Very poor all round.

Warned them if it was bad I would give a bad review. House scotch instead of the JW ordered.
That's just trying to rip ppl off.
Ribs were cold upon delivery, obviously microwaved from frozen.
Pastas were undercooked, dry and atrocious and even the lamb was dry.
Would not have paid and argued the toss if we weren't in a hurry to get to a show.
No excuses anymore, you are terrible and don't deserve your spot on Lygon St.

Got seated at a wobbly table, to then be offered someone else's drink we didn't order. Ended up waiting around an hour and a half for food that was cold and had to be sent back. Similar situations all around and felt uncomfortable to even dine from all the poor service.

A freind ordered a chicken Parma. They gave him a massive ass third of salad, the chips had too much salt and the Parma looked it had been reheated in a microwave, with the cheese melted like a gross gloop and the chicken was cold, not raw but not hot.
