What Magnus Wyman doesn't like about Thirty Eight Chairs:
Nice food and good service however a bit pricey compared to similar establishments. Located in North Carlton this is a relatively new Restaurant and so far it seems to be doing well. I probably wont return in the near future because of the prices as there are a wide selection of similar Italian Restaurants offering similar fare. View all feedback. What Hector Rippin likes about Thirty Eight Chairs:
A very good mid- priced atmospheric restaurant. Good service. The food was very good, the wine was reasonable value. For two we paid $130 including a small tip for a small starter of olives, a wonderful gnocchi, a lovely tasting sea food pasta, 500ml bulk Tuscany wine and bread. I think they have judged the market well. At $40 the wine is on the high side. View all feedback.

Fantastic spot for lunch. We had a 2 course express lunch with wine for $30. Tasty and great value. Great staff and ambience too.
