We weighed up getting a banquet but figured that might have been a touch too much food for us. We…read moreordered a few dishes short of the banquet and still left with a doggy bag and full aching (but happy) bellies. For two people, the seafood platter and the mixed meat platter is more than enough food. We enjoyed our entree dips and bread but greatly regretted them later. Filling up on bread = rookie mistake. We didn't order a salad but one arrived anyway. We got charged for it, but we were also given plates full of complimentary delicious desserts so figured that evened out and didn't bring it up. All in all we rally enjoyed our meal here, even if we might have cursed Yiannis name when clutching our full bellies on the walk to the car.

I bought a voucher at a fund raiser for Yianni's Tavern. It was a dinner for two at the value for…read more$100. We booked for Friday night as Saturday was excluded .We took our daughter with us and we were going to purchase food to the value of $100 and pay the difference for extra amounts ordered. When I rang to book I mentioned it was a voucher for $100. As soon as we arrived the older lady (yianni's wife???) took the voucher and said our daughter would need to pay $50.00 to sit with us for a set banquet. This woman would not hear us out and said this was a voucher for a banquet.( Not stipulated anywhere on the voucher)We did not want a banquet and we wanted to order from the menu just like everyone else. As we sat there another younger waitress gave us the menu and we were working out what to order when along came the first lady and literally snatched the menus out of our hand and told us she already ordered for the three of us and demanded to know who gave us the menus. I asked to speak to the manager but she totally ignored me and proceeded to bring food for three. We did not touch the food because that was not what we ordered. The younger lady spoke to us and asked us if we wanted to speak to Yianni. We did and he said he donated this voucher to this fund raiser however I paid a fair amount for it so that we can enjoy a night out with my family. Apart from the bad treatment we received from the first lady, the meat arrived ( for two) and I could tell you ,you would receive more meat at one of the small cafe/taverns at Oakleigh for one. The lamb was completely cold and the meat ball was divided into two and re -rolled to make two child portions. All the other tables all received a fruit plater but not us. I am sorry but if you want to be kind hearted and help a good cause do not try and recoup your money from the people who paid good money for the voucher. We ended up paying an extra $38.00 above what I paid for the voucher with shocking service.

This place has been here about as long as I have been living in this area. All my memories of this…read moreshopping strip seem to feature this fish and chip shop - and that is going back to when I was about six. Atlantic Seafood doesn't have very good food - the fish is okay, but doesn't always taste very fresh. The souvalkis aren't overly generous with the meat and the atmosphere is less than inspiring. That being said there is something that I like about this joint. I think I have some sort of sentimental attachment to Atlantic Seafood because I can remember it from my childhood. I remember stopping off here and getting fish and chips with my dad, I can remember trying my first souvlaki here. Atlantic Seafood is convenient and cheap. If you are after some quick chips and flake then this is the place to go. If you are looking for something a little more special then search elsewhere.

I'd been meaning to try this place after hearing about the legendary chicken burgers…read more I was buying for my housemates so we stocked up on several serves of chips, grilled flake, and two serves of salt and pepper squid. The bill came to just over $40, and we got our pick of a litre of soft drink for spending so much. The grilled flake was soft and delicious; it comes with lemon and tartar sauce and is perfect with some salad for lunch. I also recommend the squid: even though its deep-fried it doesn't taste rubbery at all, and the spicy batter is very tasty. The venue is nice and big with long wooden benches and seats, theres a limited soft drink selection in the fridges, and surprisingly a large collection of Serendipity ice cream. Order ahead or be prepared to wait because the grill gets packed on weeknights and the service is a little overcome.

It's almost 9pm when I roll up to Lulo for a late Saturday night dinner. It's busy, but there's a…read morefew tables spare along with some spots at the bar (my favourite place to sit in just about any restaurant). My dining companion and I pull up stools and peruse the menu - a glass of fino to start, along with a plate of green olives (pitted and stuffed with an assortment of pickled anchovy, black garlic, piquillo peppers and chilli) which help ease us in to the evening after a busy day. The bread is average (too light, too airy), but the olive oil is good. A board of mixed cured meats ($18) is generous, though I would have liked the kitchen to remove the tough rind from the serrano jamon before slicing. The soft spiced sausage has great flavour. The Patatas Bravas are fun - instead of the mound of cubed potatoes covered in aioli and spiced paprika sauce that I expected, we receive a plate of cubed, roasted potatoes with a melon-baller's worth of flesh evenly removed from the top and the sauces piped in. Both the flavour and the spin on presentation are good. Artichoke croquettes are crispy on the outside, oozy in the middle. Perfect drinking food. My dining companion orders the mini wagyu burger with duck jamon and truffle oil. It seems like a gratuitous ingredient placement to offset the fact we're being gouged $10 for it. It's flavourful, but I feel sorry for the poor duck that sacrificed its life to be made in to jamon, as I don't think the flavour can be fully appreciated when trapped under a wagyu pattie. A small selection of wine by the glass holds some interest - a couple of Spanish and Portuguese varieties hidden amongst the Aussies. The Albarino I order goes well with the pickled octopus with pink grapefruit and dehydrated olive (served up in a little sardine tin). Service is friendly, though it seems that only one of the staff members (perhaps he was the owner?) is across the entire menu, including the wines. Nevertheless, we certainly leave happy to have found a new place in the suburbs that can offer reasonable food and an interesting glass of wine when we're not in the mood for the bright lights of the city.

The slat and pepper squid was way too salty when it arrived. To be fair, they didn't kick up a fuss and immediately cooked a new plate again, but this time it was completely lacking in salt!
