My actual rating is 3.5 but its not letting me rate that on here.
Newly renovated, its a lovely space. Sophisticated but relaxed and youre greeted by friendly waiters as you walk in. Lots of different dining areas as well and can imagine it pumping once it properly gets up and running.
You can tell its only been open for a few weeks so have definitely kept this in mind whilst they are ironing out teething issues.
Ill start with the highlights. As mentioned, beautiful space with a relaxed atmosphere and very friendly service from everyone. We ordered quite a few dishes (hummus, kingfish, carrots, beetroot, cabbage, lettuce, lamb and snapper) and the waiter actually suggested we take off one of the mains which I thought was a nice gesture. I also asked for a sweeter white wine and the waiter suggested the Adelaide Hills one and it was spot on. For the food we loved the carrot dish, the beetroot was nice and I personally liked the cabbage with shrimp butter although my partner wasnt a fan. The snapper was beautifully cooked as well.
However there were a few issues such as not being given a full wine list with the menu which we did question each other at the beginning so we just ordered a glass of wine each but then asked to see the menu again we were given the actual wine menu with bottles on it. Had we been given this whilst we sat down we would have definitely ordered a bottle since the wine menu looked decent. Additionally when the waiter asked my partner what wine he wanted next, he then looked at me and I said I would try some of my partners wine before I chose another. However he then proceeded to take my wine glass away which wasnt finished yet. Probably a communication issue.. but its strange to take away a wine glass that hasnt been finished yet.
Service for wine to come out was very quick however food service was incredibly slow. Even though there was a pair in front of us that were seated later than us but they had their dishes coming out quite quickly in probably 20 min intervals whereas ours took at least 30-40 min to come out.
As for the food, we were very disappointed with the lettuce dish. All the other 3 vegetable dishes we got were good but the lettuce dish which we got recommended was very basic. It was literally a pile of lettuce with a basic sauce and was quite expensive what it was compared to the other dishes in the vegetable section. Whilst the snapper was beautifully cooked the sauce that came with it tasted like it had way tooo much lemon in it. I love lemon but that was way overpowering and not balanced at all.
As mentioned I know its just opened so I am aware of that and would come back but perhaps in a few months time once everything is up and running 🙂 another great addition to the St Kilda precinct.
