Another Christmas lunch with clients. We arrived and when I asked for the table under my name was only told it was inside. Lucky the others were early so I found it straight away but I was told they experienced the same and struggled to find the table. Not the best first impression. Then it took them ages to bring us the menus and only took our drink orders after I gestured we were ready to order. After that the service got better. We had the pop chicken for entree which was good. We also had the tuna sashimi which was amazing but not really meant for sharing as it was on the menu. For main I ordered steak as I heard the botanical were good at that. The first bite was a bit chewy but overall...
Now I know what all the fuss is about. What a beautiful venue! It is very spacious, beautiful and inviting. <br/ <br/ Only downside was that the food took a while to be prepared, almost making us late for the Fire Gardens. Plus it wasn’t that busy. <br/ <br/ I ordered the mussels. Yum! The sauce was divine and serving size was very generous for a starter, with a good serving of fries. Because of this I wouldn’t suggest ordering the main size. <br/ <br/ White House wine was also delicious. <br/ <br/ I would definitely return.
The seafood platter for 2 people was the best I've ever had. I often buy my own seafood from Melbourne's wonderful markets, but they don't have prawns or oysters that flavoursome, and I can't cook scampi to perfection like they do here: not raw, nor ceviche, not cooked. How do they do it? I don't care. When I want perfect seafood again I'll come back here. That's a big call for me. Most restaurants can't get seafood right. Not even in Melbourne.
Went for some wine and a graze on a Sunday. Got a good table in the front downstairs section open to the outdoors without too much of a wait. Coffee orders to start with we’re forgotten. Excellent tasting plate to start, then Lobster rolls and Calamari were both delicious. Not too expensive for what we had.

Stopped by for a midday catch up with a friend. Nice outdoor seating area for a warm summer coffee. Good coffee and really cute mis-matched cup and saucer combo!Had the burger and chips which was good.Nice view of the park across the road, airy and relaxed atmosphere :
Had the burger and vego risotto. Underwhelming but edible. Definitely not worth the price. Coffee was good and service started off “South Yarra” cold but finished warm and friendly. High chairs available. Despite the great location it’s unlikely we will go back.
Always great for a coffee, or for a drink at the bar in front of the fireplace throughout winter! Start your weekend right with a morning run around the Tan and then enjoy a coffee catchup in the sunshine on domain rd!
Excellent!!. and the food was great, staff were very professional and friendly, not many times we drive all the way to the city but we will definitely come back, keep it up

Amie was our waitress and she was amazing. We had the best time ever because of Amie! Amazing food also. Loved it so much! Thanks to Amie I will definitely be back
Food is good and the pizza is amazing! Near the botanic garden and the seats outside looks very good. Definitely will go for the pizza or other tastes next time.
