Don't order the king prawns. Its literally 2 chargrilled prawns totally overcooked for $50. Barramundi was overpriced. Portions were small and food was mostly tasteless. So disappointed. Service was perfect but if you want a quiet night out this place for us, wasn't great. I had to put earplugs in the minute I walked in.

We went on a quiet wednesday night after work to dine their date night menu. For $49 we thought that the servings were quite reasonable. We ordered porterhouse steak as the main and it was cooked as we asked (medium rare). The focaccia and tiramisu was delicious. However our experience was really thrown off by the service… we felt so rushed the entire time, as they wanted us to give the table back immediately after the allocated time even though the place was not fully booked and there were still empty tables available… We couldn’t even finish our tiramisu at the table? Although the wine and food was great. We felt that the service was lacking.

This restaurant is a good option when looking for a good meal, with some elements that make it feel like a more high end experience. It wasn't a stand out in terms of ambience even though the restaurant is a beautiful space, it felt more like a cold ambience. The waiters were lovely but a little much in terms of how loud they spoke to everyone walking in and how quickly they go through the courses at a table. It didn't feel like we could eat at our own pace because they just kept moving through it. It is still a nice place that feels safe for a good meal and a nice glass of wine.

My partner and I had the Date Night deal menu for $49 pp. Overall it was good, though some dishes were significantly better than others. For the entrees we were served focaccia with jalapeños butter, croquettes and a cauliflower dish. The focaccia was to die for and the butter was also chefs kiss, I’d have that everyday if I could. The croquettes were alright. I ate them cause there were they but I wouldn’t order them again. The cauliflower I didn’t really care for. I thought it tasted like air fried cauliflower that was then tossed in a bunch of herbs. It tasted very powdery like I was having a bite of cauliflower then a spoonful of herbs. I felt like I was back 2012 doing the cinnamon challenge. For main, we ordered a 300g porterhouse. And OH…MY…WORD… I’d have that steak as my death row meal. It was so well seasoned and every bite was orgasmic. The salsa was soo good. I’d eat a spoonful of it on its own. I’d come back just for the steak. For our sides, we got fries and salad; the portions for these were huge. Again they were alright. The fries was a little intense; it had a lot of herb salt in it. It felt like when you’ve had too much salt and vinegar chips and you lips starts burning. It was also very skinny shoestring fries which aren’t a personal fav but that’s not a dealbreaker. I’m all for seasoning food but it felt like the fries had too much. It was almost colliding with the beautiful flavours of the steak. Lastly, we had the tiramisu for dessert. Again, I nearly died and ascended to heaven cause that tiramisu was so good I had to refrain from snatching the whole dish from the waiter. Overall, would I do the date night deal again? No The only two things I thought were good was the steak and tiramisu. For $98 all up, one person basically paid for a steak ($49) and the other $49 worth of entrees, sides and dessert, which didn’t really stood out to me besides the focaccia and tiramisu. It was still a fun experience.

In the video, the “date night menu” clearly displays two mains with the phrase: “you get all this !”. However, upon arrival, we were told that there is only 1 main between two individuals. When we mentioned the video, they said that two mains is for three individuals. We were a bit confused as the video clearly depicts two individuals, and we were confused as to why a three person date night is even a thing. The food was enjoyable, however we were clearly being rushed, with multiple servers asking us if we were ready to order within the timespan of 5 minutes (despite us asking for 5 minutes). Lastly, the music was too loud.
Maven by MorganResponded on 15 September 2024
Dear Jibril, Thank you for sharing your experience. We’re glad you enjoyed the food. We apologize for any confusion about our Date Night Menu. Our video states “all these entrees, and your choice of mains,” indicating one main course to share between two people, as clearly outlined. The words "you get all this !" were never said. Regarding feeling rushed, we have a 90-minute seating policy outlined when booking. Our staff aimed to ensure your order was placed promptly so you had ample time to dine comfortably. We apologise if this felt hurried. We’re sorry the music was too loud. We strive to create an enjoyable atmosphere and will consider your feedback. We hope to serve you again and provide an even better experience. Warm regards, The Maven Melbourne Team
