Great food, friendly staff, a great place to go for good food at a reasonable price.
Best customer service.. delicious steaks cook perfect to our liking, and a great wine list.. surprise birthday dinner and waiter surprised us with a baby birthday cake and say happy birthday along with us !!
No matter how long you've lived in Melbourne, it's always a great feeling when you "discover" a new hidden gem.
Celebrating my best mate's birthday, we checked out City Grill Room after a few influential peeps suggested it. We may have been late to the party with this discovery but lord it was worth the wait.
Starting off with their Boerewors with sweet chilli sauce and a serve of their grilled Camembert, we knew we were in for a thoroughly enjoyable meal. When someone is able to take the most simplest meals and ensure they are done to perfection, it becomes a breathtaking experience. FYI YOU WILL LOVE THE SWEET CHILLI SAUCE! Need to get me a few dozen bottles!!
Our mains were their eye fillet, their special Angus porterhouse for the evening, and their baby back pork ribs. Steaks were done medium rare and melted in your mouth; served with chips that seemed like they were designed to scoop up every last drop of the choice of sauce you chose to dress your steak in. I'm still dreaming about dem ribs; will come back for another serve soon!
After such a hearty, love-infused meal, we kept dessert simple trying out their affogato and lava cake. No complaints!
For you wine buffs, the list is comprehensive and can meet any budget...dare you not to continue coiffing another bottle well after your meal has finished.
What makes the experience even greater is the friendly and attentive staff, and a venue that has an authentic simple style that ensures your full focus is on the food, and the company that you're keeping.
