The chefs are really clever in what they prepare for each dish, delicious food, amazingly presented (wish they would share their recipes as a memento of the dining experience). Prepare yourself for a massive feast of 13 dishes. Staff are friendly, ensuring a warm welcome and a comfortable dining experience. The restaurant has elegant décor and views of Melbourne, making it ideal for special occasions. The restaurant is in high demand, so prepare to book few months in advance. Truly a memorable experience.

Our server [Will] remember us from over a year ago when we visited the European and was accommodating to seating us in our preferred seat just outside the wine shop on the mezzanine level. Jenny the wine expert for the night was also very helpful and lovely and the food was flawless as always [especially the striploin]. Well done on the execution of your machine establishment! Very impressive and can't wait to come back again.
