This place has made Melbourne my home, such a wonderful setting in the sun by the Yarra with glorious sunsets and amazing staff and food.
Sue and Laurie the local owners have introduced us to a community of the most outstanding people who know that this certainly is a hidden gem of Melbourne.
Don’t let this one slip by your radar all of you South Wharf DFO shoppers and Docklands and Etihad visitors.
A place we love coming to where you can always find good service, friendly staff and great food in a prime location. Chilling out outside on a bean bag or sitting inside, fresh flavors are always a guarantee, this place has become a weekly regular for us. Highly recommended.
One of my favourite restaurant near Docklands. Food is of high quality, tasty, fresh and the view is great. Staffs are friendly. Love everything about this 5* restaurant.
Decor is a bit meh hence probably why I'd never stopped by but today I finally came here with a work colleague to give it a try. Service was friendly. My friend ordered the beef cheeks pie with chips. He was pretty happy with the pie and pretty much polished the plate. Chips were nice. I ordered myself the meatlovers pizza on their special lunch's menu. and though the base was a tiny bit doughy, it was nice and thin. Plenty of meat and a generous helping of golden, molten cheese. The sauce was also nice. I could definitely come back.
** Update
The best beef cheek pies are on offer again! That gorgeous melt in your mouth beef and gravy is back. Fantastic that it is always consistent complements to the chef again!

This is the classic Aussie lunch. We ordered the beef cheek pie with chips. This is part of the seasonal menu, made in house. It was amazing the beef cheek was beautiful and tender it melted in our mouth with the yummy gravy too. For $15 you can do no wrong.
We complemented the chef /owner for the great meal and to our embarrassment he highlighted that not many people could finish the meal but we sure did
😂😂 lol!
Not a bad marinara. Needed a little more salt, little more garlic to enhance the flavor further. Need a bit more pasta to go with the seafood. On the good side, the seafood was fresh and the pasta was cooked el dente. Overall not a bad pasta, can easily be even better!
Went tonight with my family for our dual birthdays, The food was excellent, fresh and tasty, and plenty of it, far too much for us to eat. The staff Jordan and Sue were attentive, and nothing was too much trouble for them. l would highly recommend this restaurant to anybody either for a birthday celebration or just a lovely meal. We couldn't fault it.
A real unique space, you gotta sit on one of these big bean bags, sip a coffee or tea late morning or a glass of wine in the evening, enjoy the marina view and the calmness of this part of Melbourne! Great service with very attentive staff and the baked eggs I had were on point, lots of mozzarella!
Not to miss this place while paying visit to the South Wharf. One of the best fish and chips at MEL that I had. Instead of buying a Victoria Secret Perfume at the DFO, the cocktails here are worth a try for the same amount ( I know weird comparison ,but the VS is intoxicating as well) !!! The pizzas are as well worth trying .Enjoyed my stay at the city, kudos to this place.
Beautiful location, Its lovely to eat at the outside seating in the summer and they have great pizzas and souvlakis really great services and great generous portion sizes.
If you are hungry, the $12 pizzas are good value as they are quite large for 1 person. They have a good selection of beers on tap as well as cheap bottled beers in a bucket.
It is a great place to go for lunch.
Great view from the restaurant and good atmosphere, would love to come back on a hot afternoon to try the bean bags outside! My partner and I shared the calamari entree which was good. My partner then had the porterhouse which was delicious and he really enjoyed it and I had the half lobster mornay which was nice a creamy. I would come here again as the prices weren't outrageous and the food was good. The waitress was a little shy though but she was friendly.
I love stoping in here for a couple of beers.
There’s always plenty of locals and the atmosphere is great. I always think of this place as the city version of The Town and County for Slim Dusty’s classic.
It’s nice of a cafe than a bar but the beer is cold and excellent value. Sit outside, watch the world go buy and enjoy a beer 🍻
💥💥We called in on Saturday to have a couple of drinks and to meet up with some friends.
Tiffany and Andrew were both fantastic.
A couple of drinks turned into lunch then dinner. We stayed for 8 hours.
💥HIGHLY RECOMMEND💥 the food and service.
Thanks again Tiffany....🍻🍹🥂
Me and my girlfriend just randomly walking into this restaurant in our vacation in Melbourne and we did not expect much since it was not very crowded in the morning, but we were very surprised. We had coffee, eggs and some bacon for our breakfast. The food was amazing especially the coffee. The staff was very helpful and the service is nice. The prices were very affordable, even when the restaurant is located by the Yarra River with a very good looking view. I would definitely come back.
Great service. We dined here on Friday night dinner, with a voucher for the Lobster Thermidor. The service here was amazing. Despite being half an hour early for our booking, they seated us right away and served our food really quickly. Everything was top quality. Okay, you don't get much meat with the Lobster, but that is normal, though usually, it costs an arm and a leg. Considering, I thought it was a generous serving which was presented nicely and tasted great. All up the experience was excellent. I'd definitely come back again.
Please give our thanks to the Manager(s) and others for the tasty lunch and bottle of sparkling wine. We had an amazing time. The food at Hooks at Yarra absolutely spectacular. Our waitress was just wonderful. Looking forward to have a meal with you in the future. What a great place.
This is a great bar with excellent river views right next to highly identifiable Webb Bridge. There is a lovely atmosphere outside, with plenty of tables and charming bean bags for you and your mates to sit on. The girls do serve made up drinks out to you so the service here is impeccable.
The owner seems really enthusiastic and cares about his business and customers. Love his energy and bit of a cheeky demeanour. He made an excellent mojito for my mate and I personally love their lemon lime bitters mixture.
There is ample seating within for days with awful weather with a nice big screen for the sports lovers. I would definitely return for another cold one by the river with an amazing atmosphere.
I can not count how many times I have been to Hooks. I was firstly impressed by their furniture’s arrangement. As a bar, I expected to see the bustling atmosphere with modern equipment and decoration, but Hooks gave me the feeling of home-stay, of a warm and welcoming family. There come palm trees with lines of tables and chairs made from bamboo, I guess. Every time visiting Hooks, I try myself different food and beverages, as they offer a wide range of choices for the guests, from low to high price (still reasonable). I love the way staff treats me too. I’ll definitely come back.
