FogPh: (03) 9521 3155; 142 Grevilie St, Prahran 3181 www.fog.com.au Contemporary, $$ + Other published opinions Age Good Food Guide 2008 Score: 14/20 "More than just a dark and handsome dining room, Fog is also a late-night bar with courtyard, all abuzz with groups of beautiful people casting sideways glances and playing musical chairs" Herald Sun Simon Plant, 6-01-07 "Happily, this once bohemian bit of Prahran has bounced back, and Fog just nine months old can take some of the credit. Part-restaurant, part-bar, it has oodles of style. A turquoise carpet runner sweeps up stairs, red twig chandeliers adorn the capacious dining room, and lacquered black columns march back to a shimmering champagne bar and open roof courtyard." The Age Larissa Dubecki, 24-11-2006 "It took chutzpah for Greville Street's slickest hang-out to name the colour of its carpet "celebrity blue", but affectations aside, the old Blu Pols reimagined for the noughties is a handsome space for letting down the post-Christmas-function hair." Age Epicure Restaurants, John Lethlean, 16-5-06 Score: 14/20 "Sleek and sexy, all black gloss pillars and long shiny bar, black stained timber floors and flashes of colour from the catwalk carpet and stunning red fibre orb light fittings, Fog is anything but cloudy. The two-level space has always made a good restaurant layout (there's also a fine courtyard at the side and, apparently, a sexy little bar out the back too); the street level for drinks and coffee, four steps up to the long dining area. Architects Wood Marsh don't do a lot of restaurants these days - the obvious references to me are Langtons and the Mansion Hotel at Werribee but they've imbued this place with a contemporary glamour that undoubtedly comes out of the closet at night. Ifs not too bad during the day either but when the sun's up, the formality is down: no white linen for the tables and a simpler, cheaper menu." Herald Sun Dining Out, Stephen Downes, 20/6/06 Score: 14/20 "Fog tables some inventive and brave cooking of good and higher standard. Prices are fairly high. The place itself is stylish, and the service provided by a platoon of waiters was good the night I visited. The wine list is compact, representative and overall fairly expensive, though there is some relief with bottle prices in the high $20s and low $30s." |
