Bar staff are not helpful or friendly. We were told by one girl that certain beers were available for the happy hour special only to be overcharged and told by another staff member that the beer we ordered wasn't included after being poured, and forced to pay full price. Terrible service.

Went on Sat 11 Dec, early afternoon. My wife wanted to taste a wine before she bought one, but the bar girl was so rude, she decided to pass altogether.

Excite your taste buds with the signature house dryed beef steak and yummy porterhouse steak , it was perfect. The Expresso Martini is on another level.

I used to work nearby so Laconda was my local. But now even after more than a year of working at the other side of Melbourne I keep going back. We almost always start our Friday nights there. Great, friendly staff. And love happy hour!
