A recent visit to this Melbourne restaurant left much to be desired, with disappointing experiences and subpar food leading to an overall negative impression. One reviewer mentioned a lack of respect from the staff and confusion with closing times, while another criticized the taste and quality of the dishes. On the other hand, some guests enjoyed the lively atmosphere and friendly service, particularly praising the happy hour deals and gluten-free options available. Despite mixed reviews, some diners still found the restaurant to be a great spot for a casual meal or drinks with friends.
