   Never had a bad meal at Hazel. Wouldn’t say we dine there regularly but when we’re in Melbourne it’s one of our go to restaurants. Two observations (not criticisms btw) from our most recent visit. First, there didn’t seem to be enough wait staff on the floor. This could be Covid related but we found ourselves having to flag down our waiter a few times and always felt bad because he was serving so many tables. Second thought was in relation to the wine list. There was a good selection, but would have liked to see more diversity. It’s very Victorian centric. All for it, but my thought would be to work with your wine brokers to build it out a little wider.

   As we were a group of 6 we had to go with a set menu, which sometimes can be a little disappointing, but we were far from disappointed. All the food was inventive and full of flavour. We had a couple in our group that have food intolerances and Hazel went above and beyond to cater for them. Very impressed.

   Very very disappointed. It was supposed to be a long overdue thank you to a client at a special restaurant of their choice. One problem - they made the wrong choice! It is very expensive and the food was totally underwhelming. To cap things off, the service was atrocious.

    Had an extremely enjoyable lunch with my dining partner. Would have preferred a cosier table as we felt quite exposed, other than that loved the experience. Stunning food, lovely wine and the 'gimlet' gin beverage was amazing.

    I went there for dinner with my friends. I was a bit disappointed that I had to wait for another 15 minutes to be seated even we already booked a table, but still understandable. We tried Chef share menu. It is $85/pp, but we were disappointed that we got only given 1 type of main( came with salad and potatoes) for 4 people sharing. Compared to the next table that 2 pp had the same dishes, but the quantity of the food didn't look much diffetent to our meals that is for 4 pp.

    Ordered the scotch filet rare. Came medium rare. Nothing else on the plate. Was not suggested to order sides such as greens or anything else. Ordered seafood stew. Very underwhelming portion -- no prawns, well a tiny grey one, undercooked. However, the table next door ordered the seafood stew and it had a very large white prawn. The heirloom tomatoes came the same time as the mains. Should have come before. So the waitress tookaway our little sideplates unused -- I supposed she expected us to put the tomatoes in the seafood stew bowl?

    Very New York vibe, food was very good (albeit a little pricey for what you got), and the service was friendly. Good place to go pre theatre as they're very focused on working within a timeframe you have.

    The first time I went to Hazel in 2020 pre-pandemic, I had one of the best meals I've had in Melbourne. Every dish was outstanding and the service was impeccable. Fast forward to 2020, I returned with hopes of having a similar experience. Alas, it was not the case. Much to my disappointment, the food felt uninspired and nothing really stood out. Out of the 10 dishes we ordered, the duck parfait was probably the best thing we had. The lamb rump was well-cooked but the flavour was a tad too subtle. The seafood stew was very underwhelming. It also felt a little understaffed and service was not as good as it could have been - I had to ask for a glads of ice 3 times. However, given the current staff shortages due to the pandemic, I can forgive that. Sadly, Hazel has lost its spark. I really hope they find inspiration again.

    We had a group of 8 so we experienced the chef's menu for the day. Great variety and an easy way to conduct a business lunch with the only decision needed was wine choice. Very attentive service and casual, bright dining area.

    Just incredible! A beautiful restaurant that Melbournians and visitors should visit. Such a beautiful and aesthetic restaurant, topped w/ incred hospitality and food. I actually discovered Hazel through an Aussie influencer/MAFs alum, Martha Kalifatidis. Since that day I knew I had to visit and am so glad I had the chance to. We will defs come back again :) P.S. This was the only restaurant I visited that had fresh hand towels instead of dryers or paper towels. Great idea on sustainability but also it feels luxe too.

    Overall a thoroughly enjoyable evening. Greeted with enthusiasm and a smile. Plus birthday celebrations were well acknowledged. Was a bit disappointed that the octopus wasn’t available as I had anticipated this from viewing the menu online beforehand , however I do appreciate that these circumstances can arrive. The ambience was lovely. The waiter was very attentive, perhaps slightly over enthusiastic but ultimately helped to guide us in the right direction. Food was delicious

    We had a pre theatre lunch and told our waiter on arrival - he said "No problem, all our dishes come out really quickly". Unfortunately, after an hour, we had only got one side dish. After one hour and a quarter, we received all we had ordered. We enjoyed the scorched beans. The BBQ potatoes were very average and the King George whiting was 2 small thin overcooked pieces of fish ($48). No time to try desserts. With so many places in the CBD I wouldn't return here.

    The first two starters were delicious and the food progressively became underwhelming. The octopus was not cooked as said on the menu and the steak was chewy. The wine was delicious.
