We came for an early father’s day celebration on Sunday 25th August. Very disappointed with the service. We ordered 3 wine flights and 1 whisky flight, and a farmer grazer platter. Our experience started with the waiter spilling water all over the table, but not returning to clean it up. We the received the wrong order 4 wine flights. We had to wait 15 minutes for this to be fixed. Half way through our experience I realised the serving size of the cheese that I received was only a third at best as those who also had the same large serve wine flight. The waiter then appeared to top up our water and proceeded to drip it all over our basket of bread and crackers making everything soggy. I raised the portion size issue and it was blatantly ignored. In order to make the most of our celebrations I left it. But I would not recommend this as the 5 star experience it professes to be. Aside from this I’ve tasted better Australian wine and cheeses and whisky than what they had on offer. The pairings however were done well. Something I can say we’ve now done, however their was no consistency and poor service so I would not bother to go again. When 5he waiter pulls out a note book and reads ad nauseous from his own scribbled notes to describe what you are about to taste is warning enough! I wish I could say I was alone on my review however the table behind us had much the same comments!Oh dear... Eirene, we hate hearing this was your experience. We are very sorry. It sounds like you might have had one of our newer staff members. Sunday was extremely busy for us and caught us off guard, so our more senior staff probably weren't as present as they should have been to advise our new staff member. We will have a chat to the entire team about this, as this is simply not the level of service we abide at Milk the Cow. Honest mistakes are one thing, not fixing them when you've clearly given them the opportunity is another entirely. We're very disappointed. Would you mind emailing our office with your details so we can follow up with you personally? As for the quality of our cheeses and whiskies, we may have to agree to disagree... we stock some of the most-awarded artisan products from both Australia and around the world, and if the ones you had were not to your taste there are definitely other options in our cabinet! With 180 cheeses to choose from and an extensive beverage list, there's something to appeal to every discerning palate. We hope we can tempt you to give us another chance to prove how good we can be.

Open from 10 am till late with an undeniably happening vibe year-round, Lona St Kilda is the perfect place to enjoy live music, a meal & a cocktail or two with friends in the heart of St Kilda. Dine fireside in the cooler months or alfresco in our spaciou

Very friendly staff offering very good service. Excellent value especially with the ‘free membership ‘ offered online. The servings are as you would expect from a tapas menu; very tasty however we should have requested a bit of a break between each serve. The only disappointment was the plastic straws ☹️Will definitely visit again!

Usually you would go to a wine bar just for the wine and have a few snacks. Not at this wine bar! The food is just as good!!

If you love tapas food then you're going to LOVE Las Tapas in St Kilda. Inspired by the lively street-style eating of Spain, Las Tapas brings Melburnians an incredibly unique tapas bar, dishing up simple Spanish dishes direct from their fresh market menu.

Frankly there is not a lot to say about this place that is positive. We arrived for their early sitting, and then were promptly ignored for at least 15-20 minutes whilst other diners (who arrived after us) placed orders and had their drinks, and in some cases food, served. Having finally had to speak directly to the staff, we placed our order - we went for their set menu, to get a variety of the house favourites. We then waited for about 30 minutes (other tables food coming out), then queried with a staff member where our first tapas was (mere olives). We were then told there was an ordering issue with their system - not our problem, but at least that got us three dishes (of the 7 all up). Thinking they were back on track, but it was a false dawn. No more plates turned up for another 45 minutes (other diners continuing to get theirs), so we escalated to the manager (who to that point had confined himself for the last hour or so to fraternising with his preferred local boho type diners). Again the ordering system was raised. Again, not our problem! We made the smart decision to leave and eat somewhere else we were more welcome. At least the manager had the decency not to charge us for any food or drinks we’d had to that point. He may be better placed in future focusing on what is happening in his tapas bar, to ensure all diners are appropriately attended to.Im Xavier the owner of Las Tapas . I would like to give you my apologies for such a bad experience with us . I would be very happy to invite you for dinner . In the past 8 years since we open till now I didn’t had such unhappy customers. Las tapas would love to offer you dinner . [email protected] to make a booking Wish you all the best Xavier Pardo
