We dined as a group of 8 in this conveniently located restaurant in this lovely area of South Yarra as we were staying up the road at the Lyall Hotel and wanted to eat locally with our friends. We were seated in a lovely area at the back of the restaurant and found the tables and chairs to be spacious and comfortable. The food/menu selection was very good and I believe every one of our diners was happy with their choice of meals. I particularly enjoyed the King George Whiting which was cooked to perfection and very delicious, as well the green vegetables which arrived were crunchy and flavoursome and the chips crunchy, hot and nice. We all felt the prices of the meals represented good value for $. Hopefully we will return on another occasion, the room has a nice ambience, not too formal, not too casual. Oh and yes the owner is certainly a character but in a good way, trying to ensure that everybody in the restaurant is enjoying a good time.
