Provincial is always a good consistent choice for European pub fare. Dishes always have an interesting twist, but doesn't veer too far from the original.
Bouillabaisse was lovely, rich, generous flavours. The boys had the fish selections both were cooked to description.

My husband took me for Valentine's day. Food was lovely and the view of the park gorgeous. The waiting staff were knowledgeable, friendly and attentive.
Only downside was the ventilation in the terrace building was completely lacking. We both left the restaurant smelling like a grill.

Disappointing. Overrated and unprofessional. Certainly not Melbournes finest seafood restaurant.

Yong’s is a vegetarian restaurant, there are many ‘gf’s on the menu and many more ‘v’s (vegan). All of the dishes pictured were vegan and gluten free.

While visiting Melbourne from Sydney over the Easter long weekend, Fenix was high on my list of restaurants to visit as I am a fan of Garry's recipes and my sister is mightily in love with him.

First impressions count, and the location alone was worth a glowing review. We were a group of 6 and were greeted within seconds of entering the premises and were seated immediately.

Our waiter, Ben, was one of the most helpful wait staff I have encountered. We were not left wanting for anything, our water was constantly filled, something we normally find ourselves having to ask for and all drink requests were fulfilled quite quickly.

The food was absolutely divine, I cannot even begin to describe the party all of us at the table described our mouths as having with each and every bite, with each and every dish.

Beautiful décor and atmosphere, amazing view of the Yarra river through the trees, brilliant service and brilliant food, brilliant night out. It is the most expensive restaurant I visited during my trip to Melbourne, but worth every cent, no disappointment was had.

Aboslutely Super Highly Recommended.

This has for many years been my favourite restaurant in Melbourne and I have taken many visitors there over the years, however, when there on Friday night for a birthday celebration, we could not have been more disappointed, not by the food, but the service, which was surely the most apathetic, disinterested and rude in all of Australia. No one seemed to care, we had to ask for our drinks 4 times before they finally arrived, half way through our main course. What a huge letdown for such a previously great restaurant. I am sure that Cath Claringbold would be very sad indeed.

The second time we have eaten there and it just never disappoints! We purchased a "voucher" (always a little sceptical!) but the food, service, ambience on yet another occasion was just 100%, it's such a rarity to combine all of the above but the Boulevard certainly ticks all the boxes!

Well done and we shall certainly be repeat customers with recommendations all around! Cheers and thanks once again for a super evening!

Went for mother's day and v v disappointed. Service was amateur, food cold and tasteless, the pavlova was, however, as great as always. Used to be one of my favourites but 2 v average experiences in a couple of months and won't be back. Sorry. Melb has too many great restaurants to go back for average food and service.

Appalling service. We regularly attend this restaurant and couldn't have been less satisfied by the service. We twice requested the senior staff to our table and despite acknowledging our concerns and promises of greater service, nothing improved.

A Mothers Day lunch ruined, next time we go to a more consistent restaurant.

I'm a vegetarian and a real foodie and sometimes I find it hard to combine the 2. Lots of menus have only few vegetarian options and often it is quite obvious the kitchen didn't put their heart into it, saving the passion for meaty dishes.
Attica has a range of great vego dishes!

This is an amazing restaurant. I am not a big red meat eater, and I cannot stop myself from booking in at this place. The menu has great variety and the staff are extremely knowledgeable especially about the wines. For those who are wary about the price, rest assured that it is worth every cent!

Chapelli's is a decent fall-back option but it's hard to recommend for dinner, unless you're going there because everywhere else is closed.

The meals are alright, albeit a little over-priced for the quality, and the portions are generous.

Service is very hit-and-miss, with some of the wait staff very poor, and another couple - Andy, for one very good.

A decent place to go for a coffee, and not a bad option if you're looking for a restaurant meal at an unusually late hour, but otherwise try somewhere else.

Peggy and her crew were involved in catering for 162 guests at my daughter's engagement just 2 weeks ago. Her quality service and looking after all guests and their tastes was something beyond description. All guests boasted so highly of the quality of all her food and they said they all will be going to her restaurant and using her for catering services in future.

Peggy is so innovative and listens to all special requirements as we had requested. I have not tasted such food provided by her in Australia as we have eaten at so many restaurants. Tonight we are going back to her restaurant. I would say to everyone who has not been to her restaurant to make a visit and try her cuisine cooked to your taste especially in hotnees. The Best Indian Restaurant in Australia.

Very disappointing food regardless of the price. Sophisticated menu but poorly executed. Questionable freshness of seafood, some ingredients felt pre-prepared and reheated (fish, risotto), flavours were not balanced, red meat not cooked correctly (way overcooked) overseasoned and definitely way overpriced. Service was good but after paying the bill I felt ripped off. Would not recommend it. Fail.

We recently made a reservation and dined in for a birthday dinner at the Empress of China last weekend. From start to finish the whole experience was a bit of a disaster. Aside from the language barriers which made it difficult to make the booking, order and pay the bill (which was all written in Chinese), we didn't receive any table service for 20 minutes after being seated. After hunting down a waitress myself she then was very rude to us when trying or order drinks.

We were handed 3 menus for 13 people and when I approached staff to ask for me she simply told me they had no more. Main meals didn't arrive (or got mixed up) and then we had trouble interpreting the bill and needed assistance because we couldn't understand Chinese. The food, however, was very good and it is fantastic value for money. However, we won't ever go there again and won't be recommending it to anyone.

Carlton Curry House ticks all the boxes. I went here with a large group of 15 and we all thought the food was outstanding. The prices are very reasonable and the servings are generous. The service is great, very friendly but not invasive. Upstairs caters for a large group. So if you’re into Indian food and would like to impress your friends, this is the venue for you!

Recommended. I love the place. We have lived in Melbourne for 2 years now and tried a lot of restaurant, but this is excellent. My tortellini was fantastic.
