It had a great atmosphere and decor and the wait staff were so lovely however there is a minimum spend which i don’t understand and also can’t justify, it was enough to put me off as a potential customer however everywhere else I tried to go I wasn’t able to book. The food and drinks were lovely, so tasty and fresh and my partner really savoured his batch brew coffee. The other issue was that the booking was only for 1 hour, this too was off putting but I was forced to concede and went anyway, unfortunately I’m not a native from Melbourne and I got us lost so we were 10-15 minutes late, it was made clear upon arrival that the booking was only 1 hour so we had lost time however the wait for the meals was a little long (normally not a problem to us) but this meant that by the time it came we had 10 minutes to scarf it down before the booking finished, we couldn’t manage it and so had to go over the allocated time, no one approached but the looks and glances of the booking staff and wait staff hovering to see if we were finished was uncomfortable. I understand there’s restraints due to COVID but a minimum amount spend, no split bills and only a 1 hour booking is off putting as a customer. Especially as the turn around for take away food and diners was fast. customers appreciate being thought of and accommodated, I would go there again but only if their policies were changed.

The food wasn't good and tasty at all. Both me and my friend had to waste what we ordered since it was so dry and the salmon had no flavour. I don't think I would visit you'll again after this bad experience
