WoodLand House

Woodland House is the collaboration between two of Melbourne's finest young chefs, Thomas Woods and Hayden McFarland. A united culinary force, they have created an innovative, energetic and produce-based cuisine of their very own.

We at the degustation menu with matching wines ... from start to finish we were underwhelmed by both the food and service. The whole place lacks atmosphere: soulless grey decor. The waiting staff were well-meaning but not up to the standard I expect from a restaurant of this standard. Of all the staff we saw, one was a native English speaker (and he didn’t serve us) the rest were heavily accented, which made it hard to discern what we were being fed. We repeatedly referred to the menu for hints. A couple of the waiting staff also seemed very inexperienced and couldn’t respond to relatively simple questions from us and other patrons. One Chinese couple, with excellent English, tried to make a request about the cheese course but eventually gave up trying to make themselves understood. One exception to this was the Italian (I think) sommelier who was articulate and well-informed (though I didn’t agree with some of the pairings!).The menu seemed oddly sparse in information. The main ingredient in the poached calamari, for example, was poached fennel. This was quite tasty, but also a complete surprise. Why not mention it?!The food itself was variable, to say the least. A couple of quite interesting tastes - the scallop was lovely, as was the wallaby, but much of it was bland and/or under-seasoned. Not worth the money by any measure.Having recently been to Attica, which has some similarities in terms of menu style, we had high hopes of another evening of delicious food and informative service. This delivered neither. Save your money and go somewhere else - or getting organised (and get saving) and go to Attica if you want food and service worth the price tag.

Glovers Station

Reviewed By Carringtonfs

Have been to Glover’s many times for breakfast & lunch over the last 2 years or so.This last visit was not as good as previous visits fir the following reasons - Different owner(s),different staff,service whilst still reasonable- was not as sharp as previous visits.Presentation was a tad off & service was not as sharp as previously.Sadly they still have those terrible tea pots that you can’t get a refill unless you purchase a new pot.Also it was not as busy as previous visits.Plus the side of bacon presented was half the size of what Glover’s used to deliver.Glover’s is centrally located & just needs to resharpen it’s focus & have a friendly face to meet & greet as it used to have.Gave it a 4 - when I would have preferred to give it a 3.5.Will return again in time to see if it has got back to where it used to be.

Claypots Seafood Bar

Good food is shared food. The best seafood in town. Kitchen open 12pm - 10pm every day. Our side bar has live music daily and is open until 1am.

Reviewed By Tropicalshowers

One of the best seafood lunches (meals) we've ever had. Not only was the food fantastic and the decor fabulous, but our waitress was charming as well and we were so pleased we'd ventured inside. Actually the exterior of the restaurant was the first draw card! If we'd been staying in Melbourne longer, we would have ventured back, especially to enjoy a 'gig'. We shall definitely return when we venture south again. Many thanks to all :).

Breakfast at the Galleon was just fantastic. The porridge with fruit as worth it alone, but then I had to have the tofu scramble too, couldn't miss out on that--just great! Tea was very good and the atmosphere is friendly and the staff are attentive.

Amaru Melbourne Restaurant

Reviewed By avecpleasure2015

Clinton McIver has delighted Melburnians for over two years now, with his innovative four and eight-course degustation menus served at his Armadale restaurant, Amaru. His flair for showcasing contemporary Australian cuisine has been rewarded with two hats by the Age Good Food Guide 2019. Last night was our third time dining at Amaru. It has definitely evolved each time we have visited and is an intimate venue for your next 'special celebration' moment. The service was excellent and the wine list impressive, albeit pricey. For those who choose the eight-course 'Sensory Menu', you will be neither disappointed nor leave hungry. The presentation of three completely different desserts is a definite high point for those who adore their desserts.

A thorough, truly Australian meal was made even better by the wonderful staff. The menu was very diverse and delicious - I especially loved the Green Ant Lamington dessert and the Emu Mousse appetizer. Such different dishes that display all that Australia has to offer. Definitely an experience!

Wishbone has lovely coffee and brunch food that's healthy and a little bit different, owing to the Japanese fusion vibe. I like to hang out here with my computer every so often to get some work done. It's a nice airy space with great light, and the number of locals who swing by gives it a friendly, chilled-out atmosphere.
