This place is living up to it's good reviews. The harbor side vibe is so great makes you want to spend the whole afternoon there. The sea view and the CBD view is superb. Whether you visit it in the afternoon, or evening, both are stunning. Food taste just right! Don't Miss the Ribs and that pepperoni pizza, oh man they are good! A bit pricey though. Fresh drinks are a good companion to your meal. Good Service as well (Rigz)

Just a waste of time, oysters at $36 and not fresh.
Shells pre-used and washed. Presentation 2/10 . I asked if they were fresh she should have said no they come in a glass jar and we put them in washed shells . Just makes you not want to eat as you dont know who's touched the shells . Ordered coffee and what i ordered was out if stock

The experience from start to (premature) finish was terrible:
We booked an outside table in advance, and then I went in-person to confirm the booking one hour before, but the manager refused to guarantee the table even though there were at least 20 outside tables free. The bruschetta was terrible, with soggy bread and wilted tomatoes. The replacement dish was just as bad with stale old toasted bread instead of the fresh Italian bread offered in the menu. The manager told us she thought the food looked fine- see for yourself. Tourist trash at its lowest. We didnt stay for mains.

We had a set menu including drinks booking at 9pm at the Southbank location, we’re not seated til 9.40pm … Had to ask many times for our meals and ended up at the bar paying for our own drinks. Meals didn’t start coming to our table til after 10pm and even then we didn’t get everything we were supposed to. Apparently the Southbank location had to… accommodate bookings from Carlton because they were not open , we were told that by the people on the table next to us who were booked in there. . They were also still taking walk ins …. What a mess it was and to

The service was amazing. Our waitress was a Japanese woman who really went out of her way to give us a lovely time. The food was quick and delicious! Burnt butter ravioli was a win for me. Would definitely come again. Perfect for those summer evenings.
