    a crowd of people watching a band perform
    Eric Z.

    Awesome bar set up with the bar in the middle and a band area to the left and open bar setting on the right. Staff was attentive, helpful (with samples of their vast beer selection), and working hard all night. $15 cover for a local band is a tad steep, but doable. Beer and liquor selection covers all the taste buds for sure. One thing I would suggest, maybe have the bartenders focus more on the paid entry side vs open walk in side...should be some sort of perk for paying more and listening to the same music as the free side. Seen they had food options until about 10 pm, did not try any. Will come back here again for sure.

    Love that there's a lot off different beers on tap. I was able to get a flight. Everyone was very friendly and happened to be there for music bingo. It was very laid back but unsure if it was just because it was a Tuesday night lol but I would come back here again.

    Love this place! They have an excellent staff who really know how to make some fantastic cocktails! As well as a great list of craft beers! Check out the nights when they serve the "Smash This" Smash burgers! Really delicious! A perfect pairing with the beers here. Highly recommend

    Almost looks like an abandoned building

    We walked there from the hotel on a Saturday night because it looked like a fun place. The waiting staff was very friendly but the exterior was a little run down and there was no food served there. The beers were a descent selection but we were charged $9 for a 5% ABV beer and they put a 6% beer in a 12oz tulip glass and charged $8. Little steep for those types of beer.

    3 for $25. Delicious.

    OMG--the pizzas were so good We wanted pizza in downtown Melbourne--and we had the best pizzas at this place. Good beer too. We went early for dinner before going to a play in town, and we were the only diners at that time. We had the best service and the pizzas were amazing! Just wow.

    Cool menu

    Service was great! Our bar tender look like Ross Geller from Friends! He even sounds like him, had the same hair and award stance on everything that he did. Other patrons agreed. Service was really good! They were very attentive and interactive. They allowed me a sample of a milk stout. I am really happy I didn't get stuck with a glass of that. Lol! The inside looks wonderful. Right as we walked in we notice the door was pretty large and that stood out. Inside they have awesome fake concrete tree in the middle of the place. Tree's running up the bar area and around the bathroom door. It's really nice looking. Even the old style light bulbs in what appears to be a home made fixture. It had a modern feel with decor that dates back to the original post office Era of the building. Huge selection! Beer, cider, on tab beers and cider. Great news!! They just got a liquor license! Full bar dude!! We really like how the bar is tucked away in a corner away from the main strip. I think that kept them from getting to busy as they were not crowed what so ever. I think everyone should come here for a drink at least once. They are growing and very nice environment with friendly staff. And let's not forget the Ross Geller look a like.

    The bar tenders are all cool, and I like the bar atmosphere. It's not right on the main strip but a short jaunt over. I thought the prices were a little on the high side, I might be showing my age but $7.50 for a Jim Beam and Coke; there are bars that just jacked up that same drink to $5.50 but not $7.50, I can be cheap I guess...maybe.. Leah, I may be spelling that wrong, but she is a sweet girl and her smile is contagious. I don't want to say she is the reason for 4 stars, but she definitely gave me a positive look at the business; she's a great find, they got lucky there!

    1. Food is AMAZING! 2. Drinks are always well prepared…read more(Gabe is excellent!) 3. Service is always impeccable. 4. Ambiance is great for date night, girls night or a solo date. This is and has been my favorite restaurant for almost 2yrs and I recommend it to anyone that asks. My only critique is please add a full length mirror and make the women's restroom prettier so I can take pictures of my fabulous outfits.

    I feel like this place has rested on its laurels - for the worse. We've been coming since 2020 or…read more2021. Coming from Dallas, a city with a steakhouse on practically every corner, I can say we definitely know our steaks and steak house experiences. We also travel all over the world looking for the best steak experiences locally. When we first came here, we thought we'd found Melbourne's best. The closest to fine dining steak back home. But over the years, things have just slidden down hill. The once impressive share board has A) not changed in its inclusions during this 5+ year span; and B) gone down in quality considerably. If you look at the pictures of our boards over the years you'll see the Caesar used to be long, elegant romaine leaves with the most delicious lemony-crunchy topping with superior house made dressing. Now it has boring store-looking croutons, no lemon-crunch topping, and the dressing tastes as boring as the salad looks. The potato used to be a large, hassleback prepared encased in a blanket of cheese with another delicious cheese dressing poured on top of that. Now, they just dump a bunch of wet something in the middle of an open lackluster potato. Not only are the items themselves getting more boring, but the board itself being the same for 6 years is boring. Why not change it up? If you can't make an actually good Caesar anymore, why not swap it for a wedge? If you can't be bothered to make a presentable potato - one of the cheapest things for a restaurant to do - why not do some au gratin? Or, why not have 2-3 different boards for people to choose from? Why did they just give up on this concept and themselves? Yes - you can order individual separate sides, but you can do that anywhere. What made this restaurant stand out, and shine like steakhouses in bigger cities, is now dragging them down. We've also really struggled with the hosts over the years. Rude. Inattentive. Not seating in a timely manner despite reservations and an empty restaurant. Being forced into uncomfortably tiny 2-seaters where you feel like you're on a date with the tables next to you. This is the most unromantic thing to do to diners. I would usually never complain about prices at a steakhouse. Again, steakhousing is a hobby of ours and we are fully invested. But... the prices USED to be completely justified given the quality food and experiences. Now... I'd say there are plenty of other restaurants in town with better quality, better service, better vibes - for a better price. I miss the patio vibes. I miss wine by the fire pits. I miss friendly servers and hosts and well-executed offerings. That's such a bummer. If their business couldn't sustain the patio area, maybe they should have thought about why people weren't coming back and made efforts to correct that. Instead of taking away the things they still had going for themselves and flopping on the things they continued offering. What used to be a beautiful location with great service and a thoughtful menu is now a played out shell of its former self. I've shared feedback with the restaurant multiple times over the years, and nothing changes. Like... literally nothing changes unless it's actually getting worse. It's gone downhill, guys. No matter how many videos you post on social of your chefs and how proud you are of your food... I will not be fooled, again.

Scotches that I know I've personally purchased in Scotland bc they don't sell them in retail here. Gins we've seen around the world, but actually not in this country. Same with tequilas and mezcals. An incredibly sophisticated prosecco and wine selection. I don't know who is doing their procuring but never let them go! Shopping there is literally like getting to go around the world collecting all the bottles you'd never find at your local liquor store. LOVE IT!! And yes, the food is pretty fantastic. We came before, during, and after COVID, and I have always been impressed. Even in the terrible COVID years of staff and food shortages, the bartenders and management worked their bottoms off to keep the place running smoothly and not disappoint their customers. The upper patio has great views, too. We'll be loyal forever.

Food, service, and overall feel, meh. Let's get into this. Clocked in at 1:00 pm. Clocked out at 2:15 pm. Frankly an hour for some Burgers and a sandwich is a bit extreme. Certainly we could have overlooked the service, but the food was just OK. But as far as the service, sure one server for the whole place, it's gonna be epic. NOT! I was also a little put off how limited the menu was. Then again, I'm pretty sure they want you in the tavern part, not the dining part. I had the special Avocado GoGo. It was bad bad. You can see from the pictures not much in the way of avocado. They should have called it an olive tampanade with a slice of cheese. Yeah one. At least the olives were good. My wife had the Mansion Burger. It was good. Very sloppy and who doesn't like a sloppy floppy burger. The fries came out cold, no biggie. When we mentioned it, they brought us two giant bowls full of fries. They were great. All in all meh. Now, if you drink, you want to visit their tavern. That looks so cool. Go there for that.

Waters were always refilled, incredible wait staff (shout out to Taylor!) and we even got to speak to the owner and chef. I felt transported to another city the moment I stepped into the restaurant. Beautiful decorations and live piano music from a musician. However, as wonderful has that all was, what stood out was the FOOD!!! We started out with the octopus and friend's got the tuna. Absolutely stunning dishes. Both of them. My octopus was perfectly cooked with a beautiful sauce underneath. For my entree I tried the lamb and my husband got the filet. Again, two perfectly executed proteins with sides that perfectly complimented the flavors. The combination of parsnip puree and romesco sauce with the lamb was divine. Starting Sept 1 they will have specialty cocktails. I will be back! Honestly, I don't know how you go anywhere else for dinner after coming here. I loved it so much.

As a handful of entrées and appetizers. Best part was that the wine was very affordable- surprisingly so. The Caymus Cabernet was $90 a bottle which is excellent and I hope they don't raise it. Overall the food was good but not exceptional. Wish the menu was a little broader but that would violate the limited menu expectations of some. We'd go back since it was 4 stars and 5 for the wine price. Enjoy!

    Specifically for "The Bistro"…read more Apologies for the lengthy post in advance. We checked in today and noticed that The Bistro was listed as being open until 10:00 PM. Around 8:40 PM, I went downstairs to ask about laundry services and dinner options. I want to note that the front desk staff was excellent -- very kind, professional, and informative. Unfortunately, my experience at The Bistro was very different. When I approached the bar area to place a to-go order for my room, the bartender, Nikkii, responded by saying, "I guess, but people don't normally do dinner this late," while giving me a very uncomfortable look. Considering the restaurant was still open for another hour and a half, I found that comment inappropriate and unprofessional. I then asked if the restaurant's hours had changed from the posted 10:00 PM closing time, but instead of clarifying, she simply stated that I could not order soup because it is prepped in the morning. While I completely understand certain menu limitations later in the evening, the overall interaction felt dismissive and unwelcoming. As someone who also works in the service industry as a bartender, I understand that late-night orders can sometimes be frustrating, but it is still important to treat guests with courtesy and professionalism during operating hours. After placing my order, I realized that Nikkii herself would be preparing the food, which honestly made me uncomfortable given the attitude displayed throughout the interaction. I hope this feedback is taken constructively, because the front desk staff set a wonderful tone for the stay, and it was disappointing for the dining experience to feel so unnecessarily negative. A little more patience and kindness toward guests would go a long way.
