It appeared the restaurant had too many people for the staff employed. 1pm booking and we were taken to our table to 1.45pm. Drink orders were incorrect for the 1st 3 orders. We were bought a coffee before our entree had been served - wrong table.

A regular choice as Melburnians to take interstate visitors to experience one of our favourite restaurants. Despite highlighting on the initial booking we were celebrating a birthday milestone, there was absolutely no acknowledgement by the Maître D or table staff that we had a birthday being celebrated at our table. We were hoping for at least a minimal effort to wish her a happy birthday. Next time we will supply our own hats, streamers and whistles!!
