I hosted a 30th here and the event staff were a treat to deal with - very helpful and responsive! I highly recommend the Prahran Hotel for events. We also returned for dinner and had a great meal in the window booths - a cool place for a date night and night out with mates. Just off Chapel street, so its a bit quieter from the mania too.

Steak and Parma night is good value. Wait staff made a small mistake with my order which was promptly and professionally rectified by Ashi (not the person who made the error) so thanks for her great customer service and response;
Overall good experience

Big lovely venue and convenient location. We were given a large table inside the private dining room because the main room was quite full. House red wine is $6 for a small pour at happy hour, and I was offered a taste before buying, so that was nice. $22 rump steak was not so good, out of four people who ordered it, only one person was satisfied. Another person had to send hers back into the kitchen because it was too tough! The rump itself is a lean cut so it makes sense that it will be chewier than others, however at the price we paid it was not really good at all. Salad was good and enjoyed

The ambience is nice but the food was poor quality. My mate and I ordered 2 parmas. The chicken was dry and looking at it I would say it had been re heated. The chips were ordinary and the salad was soggy lettuce on its own with a poor tasting dressing. I live close by so even more disappointed if that's how it goes. The service was equally as absent. A$30 per person fee for booking and not turning up, ordering via an app. I'm kind of over that stuff. Places only get away with it in Prahran with high foot traffic. We were not asked once in an hour and a half if the meal was okay and did we want

Picked the Prahran Hotel because I wanted to have a very good Parma, and a very good Parma is what I got, it was delicious, with equal parts cheesy and saucy. Service was friendly, and really enjoyed sitting upstairs. Street parking wasnt a problem, Will defs be coming back!
