Location with POTENTIAL ....<br/ <br/ Got to be one of the envious spot in Melbourne; next to a park and river bank, overlooking a bridge and houses on the other side of the bank, just another typical Melbourne suburb.<br/ <br/ I'm never a fan of a hotel's restaurant, never had a good experience as the ownership of the team is usually non-existent.<br/ <br/ Strangely this place is a little different. From the moment you walk in, you are welcomed.<br/ <br/ They care enough to explained the menu, specials, etc.<br/ <br/ Food is excellent, if they can smarten up their composition and presentation this place would be buzzing.<br/ <br/ We've been here twice, once inside (more fine dining set up,...
Elegant cuisine to say the least. We started with scallops served in the shell broiled with a nice cream sauce and smoked salmon, followed by swordfish over ratatouille and eye fillet with green peppercorn sauce and a nice slaw (and chips with underwhelming aioli which were left untouched) both precisely prepared. At this price point you would be seriously challenged to get better preparation and presentation. The main meat serves were in the 250g range which is quite generous considering the high end cuts we ordered. Service was precise and kept our waters filled. The only down note is the venue which is comfortable but just a bit on the basic side, although parking was easy to find.
We came here as a group of 4, on a spur of the moment decision thanks to the entertainment book, and we had a really enjoyable dining experience. The service was lovely, all the staff were really friendly. The restaurant felt classy but laid back at the same time. We all enjoyed our meals, I was recommended the Tasmanian Atlantic salmon and it did not disappoint! The flavour was divine. I also enjoyed tasting the pork loin, which was very succulent, and the prosciutto wrapped chicken. All of us were very happy with this choice of restaurant, and given it's located by the yarra I can only imagine that the view during summer would be an added bonus!
Have been here a few times for the mouthwatering steak and chips. Have never been let down by it. Service is generally okay depending who is there. There was a screaming child when we went there once. The child would not stop so the parents decided to go back to their room and order room service instead. After the family left, one of the waitresses publicly commented to her colleague that the child must be a spoiled brat and how much she dislikes children. Not very professional eh? #laterpost

We had purchased a deal which included 2 courses, entree and main and a glass of wine which was good value. The prawn and risotto entrees were both well presented, excellent quality and very tasty. We both ordered steak cooked as ordered served with fries and Fresco slaw very good. Service was excellent. The restaurant is in the Amora Hotel, carpeted so you can hear yourself speak which was good and has a nice atmosphere.
Excellent food and service for optional indoor or outdoor dining with sweeping views of the garden and gazebos leading towards the banks of the Yarra river where we had a lovely stroll before dinner.Retired to our room in the hotel which is comfortable and elegant with attention to details. Only would have liked to see a less basic carpeted floor of better quality otherwise hotel is 4.5 star rating.
Was taken here for my birthday dinner and was I happy with that! Lovely bread to nibble on to begin with complimentary. Then we ordered the seafood basket which was amazing as well as a delicious well cooked steak. Only negative would be the chips, just have personally tasted better. Otherwise, very professional lovely staff! Would definitely return.
A place with excellent potential. Despite a poor view, the restaurant itself is quite elegant and a fantastic choice for an intimate date or small gathering. It is semi-fine dining at pub/average eatery prices, so quite worth checking out. We were promptly seated when we walked in and service was polite...

We used a Groupon voucher. The service was excellent, our starters were lovely. I was a bit disappointed with my seafood platter- the panko prawns starter would have better enjoyed as the main. The fish wasn't very palatable. My husband loved his steak.
Love the food. Love the service . Very friendly staff and the kids menu has a huge variety too. The flavours on the food are excellent . Venue is good too.
