My husband and I popped in here for a quick bite and a glass of wine before heading home, the Crispy Pig on the bar snacks sounded delicious. Service at this point was friendly and the wine came out promptly.

Our cutlery was then set up and we waited and waited and waited, 45 minutes later my husband was getting slightly irate as it was only a bar snack and the restaurant wasn't busy, while he was using the rest room I asked one of the passing waiters how much longer?, he went to ask and I knew something was wrong, the person that took our order had forgotten to push the button to send it through to the kitchen, he asked if we still wanted it, as we still had a 40 minute drive home we said no.

I know that the restaurant is fairly new and things do go wrong sometimes but we were right in front of the bar and the staff should have noticed that the food was taking too long to come out well before we had to ask especially as the table next to us came in about 20 minutes after and had their food within 15 minutes.

My husband and I had an amazing dinner here recently. The bar was quite loud but they sat us in a lovely private spot in the restaurant. The service was professional yet friendly. I had the Alaskan King crab, the snapper and the chocolate bar. They were all superb. The flavours and the presentation were faultless.

I loved the atmosphere of the restaurant too though the music might have been a bit loud and hip for other patrons. Overall a wonderful experience, we couldn't have enjoyed ourselves more. We can't wait to return on our next visit to Melbourne.
