The service was not very good. Waited a bit too long for someone to take our order. I had to go to the counter to ask for something not on our table and the staff member half rolled his eyes before giving it to me. The coffee was terrible but that could be just my taste.

Drawing Room is a special place. Feels like a classy cafe that could easily be in an inner Melbourne suburb. Decor, food and service excellent done.

We loved the fit out, staff were friendly. Disappointed that our meal sat on the pass for around 5 min, chips were cold and so was the gnocchi, there was no heat light. Food lacked seasoning and flavour, feel a little let down as we had high expectations, $75 for two people for lunch fine dining is totally ok if the experience had met expectations.

The food is always great with amazing flavours & variety. Staff are friendly & very helpful & accomodating. It would be helpful to be able to ring to make bookings as well as online platform. It can be a bit noisy but that can’t be avoided. Many thanks for this lovely venue.
