  The octopus, baby cauliflower and cheese were fantastic. Great value for money and would definitely recommend to anyone visiting Mona!

  What a fantastic find whilst visiting the MONA museum. Situated inside we had a fantastic view of the water and fabulous tree views.Amazing service and great food to share which were pn point and totally delicious. We started with the cauliflower and hummus which was full of flavour, followed by the risotto with kale it was so luscious and delicious. We followed this with the lamb and grains which was tasty and exactly what you needed on a cold winters day.Also need to make mention of the latte we had was fab so silky and served in a gorgeous pink mug too.

  Great place for date night, especially after the day spent at Mona. The restaurant view was beautiful would recommend. Food was extremely generous for the price.

  4.6. This was a terrific experience from many angles. It is hard to know where to begin. The restaurant is located at one of the far ends of the Mona facility. In typical Mona fashion it is hard to find but it’s worth persevering. The restaurant space is utterly beautiful. There are extraordinary views on offer from here and the area is superbly and tastefully appointed. None of our party of five could fault the food. In fact, we were inspired by it in many respects. My chargrilled Bass Strait octopus, green gazpacho, almond mayonnaise, guindilla pepper, mint was a triumph. It is best dish I’ve had anywhere for months. I’m worried that describing it further here won’t do it justice. I’ll just say it was a real treat for the eyes and every part of it provided delight. My colleagues felt similarly about their meals. I was too absorbed in mine to pay theirs close attention. I went for a cheese platter after mains and they went for desserts. My cheese platter was wonderful. Sizeable with beautiful soft, hard and blue cheeses and other lovely elements including tiny figs. My colleagues’ desserts went down well too. No one could fault them, especially the delectable pavlova.The presentation of the food here is adorable. Every dish provided visual pleasure to the table. Each were almost art works in themselves. Other small but critical things matter here too. The table was topped with beautiful marble. The cutlery was stylish too. So were the napkins, plates and glasses. The attention to detail and quality here throughout is very plain.I’d give the restaurant a flat score of 5 going by the matters detailed above and the general efficiency of the staff. You could not fault those matters. The location and ambiance of the restaurant is excellent and matched only by the beauty and deliciousness of the food. These things are outstanding. Our only caveat arises because of our principal server on the day. I must call it as it was. She was singularly disdainful and arrogant from the moment we entered the restaurant. We know not why. She effortlessly managed to appall five affable and easily pleased people in a short single sitting. I haven’t had many unhappier service experiences in my time. It was the talk of our table. We were made to feel like nuisances merely for ordering and every interaction with the server seemed to provide another opportunity for her to look down her nose at us. It was just the one person. The other couple of staff members we dealt with were fine. Several hours later, I was over the bad staff experience and only added a small discount on the top mark for the restaurant. If you’re coming to Mona don’t miss this dining experience. It is truly exceptional.
