    My guests and I are somewhat deaf and where we were seated made it a little difficult to hear each other even though the general noise level was not very high.

    Had a waiter (James) on his first day at the restaurant. He's definitely a keeper! Will be (is!) a decided asset to the restaurant.

    As always, excellent service from Nigel, Tom and Vera. The mozarella sticks are fabulous, duck paté excellent and the seafood linguine super-tasty.

    The worst meal please don’t go there - had a bottle of sparkling that was rubbish and the food was awful - chicken parmigiana obviously just thawed from being frozen- chicken was watery and tasteless . The place is an absolute rip off . Charged us a service fee for terrible meal

    Have not been there for decades but nothing has changed. Amazing ambiance, food, wine and service. A Melbourne treasure when so much of quality in this city has been lost. Long may Jimmy Watson’s live.

    What a great family institution. Nigel, his dad , Mr Alan Watson, and team run an extraordinary hotel. A great tribute to the late Jimmy Watson. And, thankyou, Nigel, for choosing a delightful, little-known shiraz...much better than my choice.

    Food and wine were both good, was not busy at restaurant when we were there but often had to get waiters eye for service.
