Wow what a beautiful restaurant. The service was 5 star. The food was amazing. I shouted my mum the hot platter for her 75th birthday and it was amazing-we couldn’t get through it all. My daughters had entrees then one had steak - wow cooked to perfection, and the other had pasta. Both were mouth watering. Then we had dessert - again just beautiful. The dark chocolate brûlée was to die for as was the crepe pillows with hazelnut ice cream and the coconut mango panna cotta was so yummy. We definitely will go back again. The wait staff were so attentive without being in your face. We all loved it and it was extra special for my mum.
Some of the best seafood around.We started with whitebait to share YUM. I enjoyed the Garlic Prawns which didn't have that over the top garlic flavour. I could taste and enjoy the huge prawns. My friend had the seafood risotto which she raved over. The service was great and very attentive. A little pricey but well worth the experience
Took a mate here for a celebration and dropped about 500 between the two of us. But we spared no expense and didn’t regret it a bit. Several nice bottles of wine, Cray to share, bugs, prawns, squid, we went absolutely crazy and it was one of the best meals I’ve ever had. Don’t change folks.
Super friendly staff here! It’s a must do if you enjoy seafood. The highlight of my dining experience would have to be the natural oysters with ginger and , and the mussels in Napoli sauce was very tender and the spice gave it a nice kick.
Will definitely return for the signature lobster.
Yes it is expensive but I cannot fault the service nor the quality of the seafood. Our waitress was lovely and pre-empted all our requests. Thank you so much for a lovely night 👍😃
We got in early before a show and the place was quiet then but filled up. The service was prompt and attentive. I had oysters natural all quiet plump. Followed up with bug in mornay sauce which was tasty but a little pricey for one bug. I then ordered the prawn risotto which had six big prawns and lovely rice. I finished with a very light and fluffy sticky date pudding and ice cream. Overall a very good dining experience.
We wanted a seafood platter and thought we would give this place a try. Great location in the CBD close to some great hotels. We had the hot seafood platter and it was stunning. Presentation was fantastic with a great variety of fresh seafood. Oysters Kirkpatrick scallops mornay, fish, bugs, prawns, muscles, calamari and sauces for everything. Very impressed. Wine list is good. Staff were polite, professional and attentive. A really love meal in a great location.

One of the stalwarts in the city, for finer dining, even more for upmarket seafood. Pricing makes it more of a place for special occasions, but quality comes at a cost, simply. And quality the Box delivers. Greeted and looked after by accommodating staff you feel well taken care off from arrival to departure. We enjoyed the soft shell crab, the Moreton Bay Bugs and the Barra special immensely. Cooked spot on, making the produce shine with little flim flam. Not that it was needed, but the chocolate brûlée and the Bread and Butter pudding were absolutely gorgeous. Great place.
My husband brought me here for dinner tonight as part of my birthday surprise and the food was beautiful. We had a prawn cocktail and morten bay bugs in mornay sauce which were incredible. Salad was good too. My only complaint would be the service was a little slow. Thanks to the lovely waitress, I felt bad for the 2 amazing waitress staff who were totally run off their feet. They were pretty amazing under that pressure, the manager needs to remember it’s close to Christmas so it’s going to be busy. You could of easily done with at least one more waitressing. If you’re looking for a place to chat and that’s quiet to do so then don’t sit upstairs, it was very loud as it was full so it was very hard to have a conversation. We went there for seafood and we received a lovely dinner.
I really enjoyed this place...staff were lovely...food was delicious and the wine was top shelf. Venue itself is a little strange which detracts...but a must if you are going to the Regent Theatre
I paid a visit to Box Seafood Restaurant last night to celebrate my husband's 27th birthday and the restaurant's service made his birthday just that much more special. The staff were absolutely fantastic and the food was to die for. Every bite was worth every cent and the staff even organised sparklers to place on the dessert. I would love to come here again with more family and friends. Thank you to the staff for making the night as amazing as it was.
Prawn spring rolls and the Moreton bay bugs with the garlic sauce are a MUST. Seafood platter is the best option as you get a little bit of everything. I have Never had a bad meal at this restaurant. Classy restaurant with professional waiters.
Service was excellent. We ordered the seafood platter for two. It was a little bit pricey but we come from the country so we were happy to pay for fresh seafood. You got one or two of each type of seafood for each person.Left with full tummy's. Would highly recommend.
Incredible food, incredible service. Always consistent and Adrian always ensures every guest has the best experience 👏👏
This restaurant offers some of the best seafood in Melbourne, along with top champagnes and wines. Service is spectacular, attentive and friendly. Today we enjoyed Daintree barramundi with crayfish segments, parsnip cream, special cray sauce and fresh asparagus spears. The crispy decorative parsnip on top was a delicious treat. Top quality crays were served to happy patrons too. This restaurant is an excellent choice for those going to the Regent Theatre next door, the great service will have you to the door on time and well fed and watered!
Amazing dining experience. Spoiled myself and had crayfish that was so fresh, superbly prepared and I can't stop telling people about it.
Service is first class; responsive and fast. Yes, a little bit pricey, but that's the way it is with quality ingredients.
Already planningy next visit there. Well done, guys!
Taste was amazing! It is a little pricey but I guess you're paying for high class meals so you can expect high class prices. If portions increase a little it might be more worth the price. Overall, a great dinner out.
Absolute pleasure to be back at the Box Restaurant with Adrian & Mark and the rest of there team. Great family business always make us feel welcome we’ve brought our staff and family here many times. I love the food and ambience we recommend the Box to everyone thanks again everyone!! I recommend the Crayfish love it!!!!
