Upon arrival we entered the hustling and bustling restaurant to check in only to be told to return outside to the pavement in front of Grill, the jointly owned neighbouring establishment, 'where the laptop was '. We were then promptly instructed to sit outside as inside dining was full (noticeable untrue). The outside seating was without heating (it was 11 degrees) and without light, so not dissimilar to camping.

The wait staff kindly accommodated our pasta choices which were off-menu. The best spaghetti in melbourne for sure and lovely ambience with a cold glass of wine!
It was absolutely so loud, we didn’t get water for 15 minutes of being there. Our whole experience was quite manic
Food great as usual. Except for the oysters not shucked properly. Shucker needs lessons!
Amazing food and wine. This is always the top choice before a show at the theatre.
