It's as though the chef had an aversion to salt. Presentation was beautiful though and their wine pairings were excellent and truly enjoyable. Service was very slow the day we went and the waiter warned us about that so at least we got a heads-up. It took us 4 hours for 3 courses. We'd normally only take that long for 8 course degustations or something and I almost fell asleep by the time dessert came around. We had the following: 1) Wagyu tataki entree: small portion. Nice mustard sauce but the meat slices themselves were quite bland. 3/5 2) pork...read more

Our water wasn't filled up regularly and staff not knowledgable about the ingredients. They need to learn to pour wine properly. Maybe there has been a change in management. It was a pretty quiet night so maybe I was expecting too much. However the food here is what brings us back.

The prawn dish was decent, but the tempura batter was a bit soggy, and the sauce tasted like bottled tomato sauce. The veal dish was somewhat tough, although the flavors were pleasant. The pigeon, however, was excellent, and the presentation of all the dishes was impeccable. Unfortunately, the table service left much to be desired; water wasn't refilled, and there were long waits between wine refills. We had higher expectations for a restaurant of this caliber. The decor is lovely, and the overall ambiance is wonderful. The cocktails are quite good, but overall, the meal was a disappointment.

We spent 3.5 hours for a 3 course meal! After waiting over 1 hour for our mains, we had to wait further for our sides. We ended up getting charged incorrectly and there were no apologies. For a place that charges over $100 per head, we definitely expected more. It's such a disappointment...will not be returning. In Melbourne, you can easily find fine dining options that are much better than here.
