Mietta's Review
This handsome white Victorian villa on St Kilda Rd with its famous Grecian bas reliefs and weeping willows seems to have settled down under its most recent management change. Chef/owner, Aaron Lewis, provides a solid steak and seafood menu for the executives of St Kilda Rd. Only open Friday and Saturday for dinner the focus is on lunches and functions.
Other published opinions
The Age, Agenda, 28/3/04, John Lethlean,'Just about everyone eating in this gracious Victorian is wearing a suit and dining on the corporate tab.The food is good, with seafood something of a focus.'
Or perhaps ...
Allegro Victoria
Hotel dining with a difference. A lovely view over the tree tops to the Melbourne Town Hall, a simple menu, a wood fired oven and a sense of casual elegance.
ezard at adelphi Victoria
Teague Ezard is one of Australia's most creative chefs. His restaurant has softened over time making it a suitable place to enjoy his food.
Radii Victoria
Sydneysider, Anthony Musarra, has taken over at Radii, which is one of Melbourne's glitziest destination restaurants.
Taxi Dining-Room Victoria
Top end dining with Michael Lambie at the stoves and an architectural statement to match. A welcome addition to the thinning ranks of fine diners in Melbourne.
The Willows Victoria
One of the last St Kilda Rd mansions lives on as a restaurant serving a corporate clientele.
