Restaurants near Archibald Fountain

Love this place. Not sure why in Australia businesses ask for tips especially in a country that has fair work Australia especially in a time when the cost of living is so high. It just creates an awkward silence when the option is created. That said my friends who were from Victoria and had their flight delayed. We were thankful they held the table. They loved the food and raved and look forward to coming again.

Not happy will not return even though previous experience with the chef’s other venues have been 5⭐️. Entree prawns/oyster combo dish offered disappointing and questionable non fresh mushy king prawns. Lobster should have pre cut flesh or accompanied by better cutting knife to assist the eating experience. Dessert “Vanilla Cheesecake” presented as chocolate cake squares without explanation??? Maître D did not show up at our table yet seemed to be circulating the room?

Nice ambience, good service, the food is exceptional with good portions. Reasonable price too. Would go back and try the set menu.

Good will come back! Will recommend and tell friends about it

Initially the music was a bit loud but staff assisted with finding a quiet corner. The venue was lovely but possibly less 'occupied' than expected. I am wondering why this might have been?
