Mietta's Review
Relaxed, affordable, and BYO with no corkage, claypots are on the menu and the speciality of the house is seafood. Almost always a queue of people waiting for a table, get there early, put your name down, and have a drink at one of the nearby bars, and wait for the call to tell you your in! The claypots might take some time to cook, so order some tapas while you wait. Claypots, the restaurant, brims full with seafood delights, and happy customers.

Herald Sun, citystyle, 3/2/04, Stephen Downes, Score 12/20,'Claypots is a hugely popular one off downbeat place.The tapas are terrific, and the choice of fish unique in Melbourne.Judging from our claypot, I'd stick to the straight seafood. No bookings, no cards accepted and Claypots is strictly BYO.Be warned, be early.'
