Was Claus Gravesen at The Mess Hall a mag?
We tried gnocchi and duck with pasta dish as well as a wonderful red wine. Everything was elegantly serviced with a nice balance of flavorful sauce. The service was attentive. View all feedback.

What Izan Domínquez dislikes about The Mess Hall:
Coffee was sub par. Food was way below Melbourne standard. I ordered the smoked trout; was served supermarket smoked salmon. Was not informed of the change at any stage of the process. I spoke with the staff about it and got nothing but bad attitude....Not even an apology. There are so many better options at MUCH better prices. Recommend you go anywhere but here!

When we were standing on the way that read the specialties of the restaurant, one lady went out and shaved over the pasta. So we went in and she was right. my wife.
