Went for lunch today (New Years Day) and the staff were definitely under the pump. They had issues with chefs calling in sick and warned us before ordering that there would be at least a 30 minute wait for food. We decided to wait, and were very glad we did. When the food came out it was definitely worth the wait. The pizzas were delicious and the staff offered us food that had been prepared for other customers who had decided to leave. The whole time we were there the staff were extremely polite and very apologetic for the time it took to receive our food. Despite this the atmosphere was great (minus the whining customers) and we had a great afternoon by the river. Would recommend it to others and we will definitely be back.
Great friendly venue from very happy staff Excellent service with reasonable prices and prompt service. Very happy to recommend this gem. Would definitely go here again ....Absolutely 5 star !!
My fiance and I had dinner here and was absolutely beautiful! The staff and Managers are so very accommodating and couldn't be more genuine and kind, great atmosphere and great people! Highly recommend!! Thanks guys! �

Yum!
We had lunch today, I had the most amazing soft gnocchi with asparagus cream sauce and pancetta and hubby had a smoke salmon bruschetta, both were on the specials menu and both were divine!
Great location, friendly staff and a great vibe, will return to this little gem.
We where visiting Melbourne and we come across this little gem in south wharf nice and perfect live music , good food , great service definitely we will recommend it to our friends
An absolutely amazing place! We celebrated a 50th birthday party here and the staff couldn’t do enough for you.
Incredible cocktails and service! Danny made me the BEST pina colada that I’ve ever had so of course I had to order 3 ��� Awesome atmosphere and even better food! Highly recommend to EVERYONE
The best night out I have had in a very long time. Really enjoyed the food and cocktails. The music was the best.....all the oldies from the fifties!
We celebrated Jack and Emily's engagement on Sunday with all the family and friends. The staff were amazing, the food was great would highly recommend if you need somewhere for a function!
We had my daughters 21st at Plus 5, so many people said what a great venue it was. Sam and Lotta organised everything beautifully, was so easy for us. Sam made sure everything was running smoothly through the night updating me every hour, was very organised. Great food, staff were very accommodating and friendly we all had such a great night till 1 am. Thanks Sam, Lotta and wonderful staff XXX
Great place to eat and have a few beers, Food was very tasty and the service was quick.
What a great place!!! Awesome food that can only be topped by the friendliest service youll ever encounter. Eugene you made our night!!
Dined for lunch. We shared the lamb pizza which was tasty, however would've been good if they were more generous with the amount of lamb on the pizza. I also had a lychee martini which was refreshing. Service friendly.
Visited here after a little tiring shopping at DFO. It's a very cosy place. They had a band playing on the day we went. The music was very soothing and relaxing.
Ordered a Margherita Pizza , Melanzane Pizza and Bruschetta. All were very well made. They accommodated our dietary restrictions very easily. The food tasted great. We also ordered an Apple Mojito. It was alright.
Would visit again and recommend to friends and colleagues.
The guys at Plus 5, especially Samantha, Thank You for such a lovely evening.
Beautiful views for a beer and some eggplant. Had a simple snacking style tapas menu. Reasonable priced. Beer was good and egg plant well cooked with some gooe flavours
I had a wonderful afternoon tea at this place. The big plus for me is its location. Ambiance worked for me. It’s great to be outside under alfresco over looking the South Wharf. I love the pizza, and coffee was not bad, but I had better. Service was quick, maybe because of the time of the day and toilet was tidy. It’s worth coming back.
The views across to docklands, the Seafarers Mission bridge and the city from the terrace aren't bad. We'd booked using a dimmi 50% off food offer and chosen the restaurant based on location and a quick look at the menu online. In fact the menu on the day had a few different dishes. The crab sliders were small and nicely formed with a mix of crunchy veggies accompanying the meat.
So someone organised a work lunch here today and I came along for the ride. There was a Dimmi lunch booking special for 50% off the food items so it was a little hard to say no thanks. Perfectly positioned to capture the sun and view of the Yarra the signage of this South Wharf Eatery was initially hard to spot.
We all sat outside and after perusing the menu all ordered pizzas. I choose the lamb one called the Agnello. The pulled lamb on this pizza was sensational. The other pizzas looked good too and there were no complaints other having no room to finish it.
I did have a problem with my lemon lime bitters originally but after asking for it to be remade it came out tasting as it should. This was done with no drama.
Service was good but basic and we were asked how our meals were a couple of times which was a good check in. Too bad we had to go back to work... was quite nice sitting here eating half price food.
Amazing music, super attentive service with sweet staff. Perfect venue to enjoy a Sunday afternoon, will defo be back on the regular! Thank you Plus 5 Sunday staff :)
Best pizza we've ever had and service was great.
Warm and comfortable, given the cold weather.
great out look and great location. Definitely come again.
I chanced upon Plus 5 after DFO shopping, and it was the most affordable place in the area. Little did I know that this was such a hidden gem. Went back twice in a span of 2 weeks, once with my brother and the other with my girlfriend.
Pizza was excellent, simple and fresh. Everything done simply and done right. Baked to perfectness in that rustic woodfire oven. Definitely one of the best pizzas I have ever had.
Also do try out their small plates. Over the 2 visits, I managed to try all their small plates and I am astoundingly impressed by their food and taste. Despite not being wildly creative or imaginative, they are well done, rustic and perfectly cooked. House-made meatballs and fresh battered wings are good companions to any great night out.
Will definitely recommend and come back if I am in Melbourne again!
If you are looking for a relaxing spot with river view, Plus 5 is a great place to go. Went here for some drinks and sat outdoor to enjoy the view and Melbourne's "friendly" weather on that day, such a mood booster! They also have happy hours for some alchohols which make it even better. Will definitely come back again.
I've not been that impressed by any of the restaurants in this part of Melbourne but this is an exception. Had the shepherd's pie and a beer for $20 on a lunchtime special. Great tasting pie and good value. Went with a group from work and we all sauntered back to the office satisfied. Would eat here again.
We dropped in on Sunday and ordered drinks and a dip/bread dish. The staff were very pleasant and efficient and our drinks came quickly. Although the place wasn't overly busy, we waited around 30 minutes for our food after twice enquiring when it was coming. They profusely apologised and offered us a free round of drinks and our food came shortly after. The free drinks softened the wait but the next day I was amazed to see they had refunded our purchase (made by credit card)! We will definitely be back again as this was excellent customer service to overcome a glitch on the day.
Have been to Plus 5 many times, location is fantastic even on a chilly day you are able to sit outside and watch the Yarra meander past. The pizzas are great and always found the staff to be very friendly and efficient. Cosy place to have a couple drinks. Love it!
A bar experience par excellence. And with the most comfortable bar stools in Melbourne. Dan Mariner was an attentive and intuitive bartender who looked after us in both food and beverage from our arrival. He even assisted us in the creation of my new favourite cocktail, the Rind of the Mariner, a beautiful concoction of Aperol, Spiced rum and Solerno with a touch of bitters and torched orange peel. I'll be going back for more. A lot.
The food was excellent also, made to order in a woodfired oven by one of the in house chefs. Not too much, not too little, exceptionally well presented and flavoursome.
Just brilliant.
Lovely spot by the Yarra
We ordered a sharing tapas plate for 2 - only $40 and a surprising amount of food! Pizza was delicious
The service was very friendly
Music also a plus!
I was shopping with a friend and we happened upon plus 5, I so so so glad we did! It's was great, the food and drinks were lovely and the service was good too. Definitely going back soon.
Went to Plus 5 for the first time today. We were lucky enough to swoop and get a table in the glistening sun. We ordered a pizza and I drank Thatcher's cider - both were delightful! The pizza was really good, I was expecting it to be average (no idea why) but it was delicious; fresh ingredients with good mozzarella to roma tomato ratios (trust me, it makes a difference). The only reason I didn't rate it a 4 is because the deep set couches we sat on could use some cushions (or maybe that's just me because I'm 5" nothing and felt awks haha...). Top place for couples and groups. I think I'll be making this place one of my locals.
Very positive. We had a 40 year reunion for dental techos. The party of 20 totally enjoyed their time and didn't won't to go home. The staff very helpful ( kelly &daniel )very attentive to our group. The food presentation and pizzas were delicious. Highly recommend
Went here last night before the ballet and we enjoyed it. The tapas were delicious and the atmosphere was even better. Will definitely come here again!
Great place. Came on early Friday night and really enjoyed it.
Real Italian Pizza, great atmosphere near the fire and the river and most important - very friendly staff.

Splendid. Such a beautifully located bar, which serves up quite decent food. Food is a little expensive for the portion you get though. In terms of quality, we enjoyed the air dried beef pizza and the salmon salad. We also had the lamb meatballs, which I found to be a little too herby and just didn't quite have the kick to them as I was expecting. Perhaps I like my meatballs really meaty. xD I did like the yogurt sauce that went with it though! Only major disappointment in terms of food was the pork belly. The four pieces of pork belly served were extremely fatty and little if not none of the fat from the pork belly had been rendered out. Yes, it is pork belly, and should be fatty, but I definitely have never eaten pork belly that is oh soo fatty. I could hardly spot where the meat was! I was just eating fat and I could hear my arteries scream! hehe Hopefully Plus 5 buys a leaner pork belly and renders the fat well for the next time they prepare and serve this dish. I do compliment them on serving the pork belly with caramelized pomegranate to cut through the fattiness!
In terms of drinks, we ordered a rose lemonade which was absolutely beautiful and such a great way to just soothe the mind! We also had the usual lemon lime bitters which I found not sweet enough, it was quite bland - they seemed to have used soda water instead of the conventional lemonade to make it up.
All in all, the service was great and attentive and dining here was a pleasant experience.
Great duck salad. Excellent service
Visited this place a rainy evening. The outside seating treats you to treat view of the river and the city line. It was comfortably warm to be there in winter. They have wide range of cocktails and warm drinks as winter special like the hot toddy and mulled wine. Loved them. However the other classic cocktails were alright, a little diluted. For the food we tried fries, their garlic bread and dip platter and the bruschetta pizza. The dips were alright. Absolutely loved the bruschetta. The staff were very sweet and courteous.
Upon entering this stylish venue, we were greeted with a masked smile from staff, making us feel welcome. It's a comfortable atmosphere for couples or to bring the family.
Food and drinks were fantastic - especially the Buffalo Cauliflower Balls. The menu choice hits every taste, so you'll find something. We can't wait to go back for more some day.
It's not Newcastle, but it will do. Hooroo :)
I had a great time at Plus5 . Lychee cocktail , forget the name… Arinchini balls and And Chicken Pizza . Would love visiting this place again :)
Good, tapas. Enjoyed the atmosphere.
Temperature control on the outside was good even though it was quite windy.
Favorite was the cauliflower buffalo. The meatballs were a bit plain. Buffalo Chicken was not too spicy had a warming flavour to it. The sauces complimented each dish lovely.
Great service. Went above and beyond to accommodate all guests! Awesome cocktails as well (the kiwi one was especially terrific!). The blokes got a great beard as well.
Great food and cocktails and the outdoor seating is fantastic, highly recommend this place.
Great food and drinks, the Pizza especially was excellent. Reasonably priced food and drinks. Ordering through phone is super convenient. Would definitely go here again.
My partner and I recently got engaged and we were on the hunt for a engagement party venue to host our family and friends (120+ people). We came across Plus 5 online and enquired straight away, Brendon the venue manager was incredible to deal with and the staff on the night were equally as amazing. Our guest raved about how polite they were, and they even had a dance with us! We were able to set up the venue how ever we wanted and they were more than helpful, plus the food was incredible. I highly recommend the pizza and souvlaki‘s. Thank you again so much for making our night perfect, we couldn’t of imagined anything different nor would we of change anything!! 10/10 ☺️👏🏼
