Loved the hospitality from the staff when we dined in a summer night and they kept the ice chips coming!

We had to fill out a coronavirus registration form that only took a minute, and the waiter quickly showed us to our table. We were surprised when we were only served water at first, as we were expecting a menu. It turned out that the menu was written on a large blackboard with chalk, which was a bit confusing. Although the hipster cafe vibe was appealing, it was difficult to read the menu and we had to walk to the middle of the restaurant to see it. We ended up looking at the menu on our phones on their website. Despite this, we were able to order our food and drinks. The cocktails were delicious, as were the steak and octopus. However, the cocktail prices were on the higher side. Overall, the food was great and the atmosphere was good.

Lovely spot with a fantastic ambiance. The coffee was excellent and the Margherita pizza was absolutely delicious. read more Lovely spot with a fantastic ambiance. The coffee was excellent and the Margherita pizza was absolutely delicious.

Have come in once with a big group, and a couple of times, solo trying to bang out work works equally well for both, in a cinch. Ditto date nights and such. Genius orchestration of this airy corner down the street from Prahran market into a 'bar and kitchen ' works so well. Open, green, clean lines,airy, beautiful lighting, potted plants and absolutely top notch food and drink. To define top notch, try some of the real simple stuff on the menu say the bread sourdough, they bake onsite served with fantastic local Olive Oil and a Walnut Dukkah par none. Ask for some olives and you get perfectly smoked almonds, plump olives and pickled Jalapenos on a heaping plate, for barely much . Quality craft brews and coffee...AND...I saved the best for last...the music...goodness! some of the best tunes in all of Melbourne. The onsite DJ knows how to keep the place jiving morning, noon and night. This place has it down! and down pat! Just go and experience for yourself!

Food was very underwhelming and added extras ridiculously priced. Eg $4 for dessertspoon of goats cheese.

Recommend the house aged butcher cut most, as it has a beautiful aroma of beef, especially when it comes to bone marrow. The lambskin is served with pumpkin, which has smoothed the whole taste. The drinks they recommend are also lovely. Will definitely share the experience with my friends and come back.

Most recommended is the Lobster cigar! Very fresh lobster meat served with jalapeno cream and black pepper and seasoned with shallots. Bite, full of luck! Bathurst beech cancer also gave me enough energy for the day!

Also recommend mushroom linguins, delicious with caviar!

The 12hr slowly boiled beef check and the cancers were simply fantastic and you can rarely find these types of dishes in a brunch spot. Would highly recommend this place.
