Came here for a meal recently that was unfortunately a bit lacklustre. The sausage was very salty and could have used a bit of mash or something to balance it out. The stracciatella and anchovy toast was good but the tomato dish was also a bit underwhelming. Service and drinks were nice though - I appreciate the extensive selection. Would just love to see more beers that mirror the quality and uniqueness of the wine list.
HIGH-END PUB FOOD - A good experience here, helped along by attentive service from the outset. All pronounced the creative meals to be very good, although I thought my main lacked salt (petty, perhaps, I know). The menu is progressive, which means that the portions become larger as you move down the list. There are some highly-priced items to be aware of, but we were very happy overall. In summary, good meals which are reasonably priced, but you need to be aware of the expensive options, which includes the drinks. The coffee was somewhat bitter and therefore disappointing.
Somewhere between a pub and a fine dining restaurant with the best of both worlds. Would love this to be my local. Staff are happy and helpful, and the food is delicious.
As pubs go, this is a good one. The food is good, albeit expensive. This is one of Andrew McConnell’s string of restaurants. Over the years it’s had, along with the bistro, a fine dining restaurant in it, then a hipster Chinese restaurant. They’ve since knocked down the walls inside and opened it all up, and now only serve bistro pub food - which is better! The spot roasts are great. Great place for a long boozy lunch.
One of the better pubs in Melbourne... good range of beers, if perhaps a little pricey, and a very decent kitchen for the bistro. Great atmosphere where quite a diverse range of people fit in just fine. Nice little sidewalk section where you can relax and have a drink watching the world go by.
Best fish dish I have ever had - and I’ve eaten at many specialist fish restaurants. My whole rainbow trout had heavenly crispy skin and was perfectly cooked inside with its butter and almond sauce. Loved the heirloom tomato dish too. A totally memorable meal for us all.
