I really enjoyed my evening at Bluestone. Fortunately, being a week night I was able to get a last minute booking and found the whole experience wonderful.

The entree of scallops was delicious, the scallops were cooked to perfection and plated attractively with a well matched accompaniment of rocket salad. The main of ocean trout was also excellent with a lovely crispy skin and again a well matched snow pea tendril and mango salad. I was not planning to have dessert, but after the entree and main were so good, I decided to try the milk chocolate mousse with coconut marzipan and I'm really glad I did as it was superb, a great way to finish the meal.

The service was great, very attentive and unobtrusive. A great night which I am looking forward to repeating when next in Melbourne.

Great place for dinner with friends. Good service, didn't feel rushed to leave at the end and the food was great. Love sitting in the little lane way and as it was a weeknight there was no live music, but great blues background music on the PA. The prawn linguine was superb, heaps of prawns and just the right amount of chilli.

I really like this restaurant. Food is excellent, staff are attentive and friendly. I have eaten here in a couples setting and also with kids and staff are adept at handling both.

The curries are delicious, from the milder kormas to the spicy but tasty vindaloo and the breads (particularly the keema naan and peshwari naan) are fabulous. Portion sizes for the curries are on the large side and I like the variety in the side dish platter.

I like the way you can also ask the staff to make your selection milder or hotter to your liking and they actually cook it that way, rather than just giving you the standard menu options. They are also very attentive when the meal is being consumed, when they check if things are ok, if you have a problem, they fix it right away.

Prices are reasonable, especially given the quality and quantity of the food. Yum!
