Went here with work colleagues for Friday night drinks and really enjoyed myself. Happy hour is betwen 5pm-8pm and the $10 pink martini I had was unique and lovely. We ordered tapas, I paid about $15 for my share, which was a small plate of a few pieces of beef and some sweet potato chips (which were divine). Had I paid $15 and been served what I ate on an individual plate I am sure I would have felt ripped off, but with tapas you dont really notice. Overall, the interior is stunning, the atmosphere lively but not overcrowded, and the food quite alright. I'd recommend this place.

Have been here a few times now and never had a complaint. Cocktail bar is out of this world and can get quite busy at times, so expect a small wait. Wine selection and price is excellent and the food is superb. The staff cannot do enough for you so service overall is excellent. If you want to impress friends, the ambience of this place is sure to please. Highly recommend!

Saldechin has a stunning interior, but service and food left a lot to be desired. Wanting a light meal, I ordered the Salt & Pepper squid on a bed of mix salad & tomato; cost $19.90. This squid is identical to the Pacific West salt & pepper squid you can get from any freezer of a supermarket for about $7; needless to say it was unpleasant. The salad had no dressing, and the tomatoes were flavourless and basically the cheapest type of tomato you can buy. The surly waiter compounded the less than positive experience. I will not be returning.

I has salt and pepper squid that could have passed as overcooked chicken schnitzel. Twice now I have been disappointed, especially this time as I took friends there.

Loved the tea. Loved the tea. God that tea was good. The lemon cheesecake was pretty nice too. Did I mention the tea? I came back for dinner and it was quite nice. The waitress was lovely, the food took a little while but not absurdly so and when it came it was very nice.

While they don't have many vegetarian options, they were happy to change things around to suit my friend. I really liked the space, although the couches were a little too deep to sit on, rather you had to languish but that wasn't a problem!

I had my birthday here a couple of weeks ago. It was brilliant. The staff were so helpful and the food and the room were just great! We came and had pre-dinner cocktails in their lovely lounge area first, had a great dinner and then went back to the lounge for more cocktails after dinner. I had nearly 30 people and they did a brilliant job! Could not have been happier! After living in Sydney and Melbourne for the last few years I thought going home for my birthday, it couldn't possibly be that good and it exceeded expectations!

A lovely room (it looks as though it used to be a banking chamber), pleasant service and an interesting menu. We enjoyed our dinner here, particularly the kangaroo dish.
