    Not gonna lie… I LOVE The Graham 😍 Thanks to everyone who made my birthday dinner so special last night! The booking process was super efficient and easy to do. Set back away from the main streets in Port Melbourne, this absolute GEM 💎 feels like visiting family or dropping in to a mate’s place 🥰 Smart, sophisticated but without the airs of similar establishments - it’s a wonderfully comfortable, really well designed venue with chic decor 😏 Whether celebrating a birthday (like I did, with 10 friends dining in a private room), meeting people for drinks at the bar, or even having an intimate dinner in the gorgeous restaurant, The Graham does it ALL in spades ♠️ The food menu is OUTSTANDING with delicious dishes that we keep coming back for 🤗 Most surprisingly there’s something for everyone, it’s not an exhaustive list of predictable fare, the dishes are substantial and they’re all reasonably affordable 👌🏻 The team here is HEAVEN - from expert cocktail makers, exceptional chefs, to truly DELIGHTFUL, experienced and helpful wait staff ☺️ As you can tell, I honestly do 💛 The Graham 😝 I look forward to coming back again soon - especially now that the nights are lighter for longer and it’s getting warmer ☀️ So it’ll be lovely to take advantage of your outdoor seating, to sit back and relax while enjoying outside 💯
