Service was excellent. Staff very attentive yet we weren’t rushed. Venue is great. Fantastic use of the old Pentridge cells. Food was a little bit pricey but delicious, so that made up for the prices. Overall a great night out 😊

Unfortunately we won’t be going back The quality of food DID NOT match the high price The wines were also over priced Our waiter was excellent though
North&COMMONResponded on March 18, 2025
Thank you for your feedback. Our pricing reflects the quality of premium ingredients (e.g. oysters, French sparkling wine) and service standards aligned with Melbourne’s dining scene. For a more affordable option, we invite you to try our two-course menu at $59, available: Tuesday to Thursday (lunch & dinner) and every day at lunch. We’d love to welcome you back to experience this offering while maintaining the quality we’re committed to.
