Fabulous seafood and service. My third visit and the high standard remains.

We went for dinner to celebrate my best friend’s birthday, as she was visiting us from Chile. From the moment we arrived until the very end of the evening, the whole team made us feel incredibly well looked after. Alejandro was our host, and I truly have nothing but wonderful things to say about him. He was attentive to all our requests and went above and beyond, recommending some of the best options the restaurant had to offer. Even the owner came over to our table to share a moment with us. He told us that his wife is Chilean, and we had such a lovely and enjoyable conversation. Once again, we would absolutely come back to enjoy another special dinner there, by the river, with the beautiful Melbourne skyline lighting up the evening. It was a truly memorable experience.

We needed to be fed quickly as we had a 6.30 performance. The food was tasty, and arrived quickly. It was excellent value. We had dumplings and the salmon tartare, followed by grilled chicken, a whole roasted cauliflower and rice. It was accompanied by a local bottle of Merlot and sparkling water. Efficient service and good value.

It was a very busy day - Belgium National Day. Lots of great beers on tap for the day, although I had to ask twice after ordering where my beer had got to as they were a bit slow on delivery. Service was otherwise excellent, mussels for $20 - can't go wrong.

The calamari starter was so delicious and melting in the mouth. The crispy pork belly main was quite small but the Seafood spaghetti and barramundi were generous potions. Overall the food was good but a bit pricey.
