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.
Radii Victoria
Sydneysider, Anthony Musarra, has taken over at Radii, which is one of Melbourne's glitziest destination restaurants.
Sarti Victoria
A lovely rooftop space with courtyard serving simple but well executed dishes. There's also a cheaper bar menu.
Shoya Japanese Restaurant Victoria
A Japanese eating and drinking complex with a bewildering array of options. You'll have to find something you like in this good value establishment.
The Willows Victoria
One of the last St Kilda Rd mansions lives on as a restaurant serving a corporate clientele.
