I read the online menu and saw hand made lobster & prawn tortellini ($14/$24) and immediately want to try this place. So I grabbed my son and sat outside on a warm and balmy Melbourne evening.We both ordered the tortellini and my son ordered a Wagyu burger (and requested no pickles)The food came quite quickly (although it was a very quiet night in the restaurant at 8:00PM. Disappointment soon set in. The tortellini was certainly large and had 4 on the entree serve. The pesto sauce was thick and quite overpowering but the worst was the filling. Unsure why but the chef fills the tortellini with some type of brown mousse. There simply is no texture, no morsels, no bits. it certainly did not smell of seafood. I could only eat 3 of these as the sauce was overpowering and taste was lacking.The Goodthe atmosphere is quite nice for a warm night. It seems more like a daytime venue. The BadI would have liked an all day breakfast option. The waitress was very pleasant but I did not see her outside from the moment our food was brought to the table till we left. Inside the restaurant i guess were 4 - 6 people if that. So no idea where she went to or what we were to do should we actually wanted something to drink etcThe UglyThe burger was ordered without pickles. it had LOADS of pickles. I went up to pay and was never asked how my meal was or why there was so much food left on the plates.The Verdict... - would I go againPerhaps for breakfast.. certainly not for dinner but I would like more comfortable chairs if I was to sit for a long time.Its a shame as the place has promise..

This is an excellent but very busy modern cafe that has a old fashioned bakery feel. The food choices are excellent with a hearty and rustic flavor - I had a soup and it was tasty and healthy option as even the burgers seem to be!The service can be a bit patchy at times but it is a busy and clearly popular lock meeting place - both for residents and workers from the area.

We have been here several times over the years and this restaurant never disappoints.On arrival it was clear many others share my view and the restaurant didn’t hats spare table on the night.Parking is easy and despite being full conversation was also easy.You won’t be disappointed

An elegant restaurant with lovely starched white tablecloths. Very quiet even though it's on Toorak Road. A great menu with European, Asian and modern Australian dishes. They also have a set luncheon menu of two or three courses including a glass of wine. Amazing souffles, light as a feather. All beautifully presented and delicious. They also have private function rooms upstairs. Will definitely return.

There is a reason Shanklin are the top rated cafe in their area. Everything about the menu is quality. I enjoyed a milkshake and a burger and they were both fantastic. Great vibe, lovely staff and a perfect meal. Add to your list for sure!

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.

Ok so, I use ONLY these beans in my machine at home as there’s no denying they are THE best beans for making a perfect at-home coffee. However one day I decided to actually TRY a coffee at AXIL. I was so disappointed; it was terribly weak and barely warm. I drank it between the counter and their front door. Hhhhmm, I thought for a café that prides themself on the best beans in Australia (?) the coffee would be great. Terribly disappointed.

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.
