Very disappointing!!
After reading all the hype (written by sodafish) we wanted to eat there and experience all that was promised; boy! Were we disappointed.
The prices were excessive for what was served. For example: the freshest seafood was promised at this seafood restaurant on the water. I was excited to order the John Dory, a beautiful fish. Instead of a whole dory beautifully cooked with a side of pea risotto, I received a greyish fillet, curled up, weighing about 100grams sitting upon a pool of mushy risotto which tasted more like mash potato. It was room temperature and had no flavour ( of perhaps burnt butter); it was terrible.
The hand cut potato chips looked like reheated potato skins, which we sent straight back to the kitchen as they were cold, only to be replaced with slightly warmer skins. Truly horrible chips, the worst we have seen in 50 years.
The food was supposed to be simple honest local. Every dish was either over seasoned or not seasoned.
The venison was cold. The octopus was cold and chewy. The home made fish fingers were just mashed potato with a whiff of fish...steep for a $31 entrees.
The steak was great, well cooked and warm.
The serving staff were very professional, friendly and helpful.
This place is let down by not delivering what is promised and charging Melbourne prices for it.
Spoke to a few locals afterwards, they don't go there either, for the same reasons.
Never again.
