Loading Dock Bar & Grill - Melbourne

A bit out of the way from the main South Wharf restaurant precinct Loading Dock was the gem where I had lunch. I chose their Ravioli (spinach ricotta along with home made napoli sauce) at $23.50, followed by Panna Cotta with mixed berries at $10.90. The ravioli was moist really enjoyable, served within 15 minutes of ordering one could visibly see the steam rising from it (I dislike mildly warm food). The dessert didn't disappoint either, full of contrasting flavours I loved the unique presentation of the strawberry. Service provision was fantastic by Chantelle, super friendly, chatty polite as well as being efficient when  Loading Dock loses her they'll have lost a great asset. The vocal pop background music was at a suitable level and the ambiance was bright cheery with plenty of window space.<br/ <br/ Oct 14, 2016 update<br/ <br/ Popped in for a dessert having lunched elsewhere tried their Sambuca Strawberries with ice cream at $12.90 and absolutely loved it, the Sambuca flavour was just strong enough not to ruin the flavour of the fresh strawberries on my palate.<br/ <br/ The Juror's Verdict: Food 4.5/5, Service Provision 5/5, Will I return: Yes, definitely soon.<br/ <br/ Phill Jury (food critic writer)

Zomato is disappointing. If a business doesn't pay, they prioritize negative reviews. It's shocking in this day and age, I thought extortion was a thing of the past. LOL.

Always consistent with regularly changing specials.<br/ <br/ Regardless of day of week, the standard is good, A great default place, where you can be assured of a quality meal.

Delicious. Grabbed a quick bite. I was pleasantly surprised that the $20 appetizer came with 5 prawns instead of my expectation of 3. The dish was very flavorful and it made for a lovely light meal.

Good home style cooked food. Love this place eat here often for dinner food is tasty especially the red curries or pastas or anything really great view of marina and parking is available at Sth wharf or on lorimer st
