Wow. This place goes off. I got here about 7pm and it was deathly quiet. By 7.30 it was busy, by…read more8 it was off the charts busy. I was greeted beautifully on arrival. With a handshake no less. The recommendation was for a wine the name of which I don't recall but it was very nice. I had it with spiced almonds which were nice and pleasant. I had the mussels diablo for main with a white Grenache. The mussels were initially a little salty which didn't trouble me at all. The tomato sauce was very luscious and very spicy but very good for my taste. I really liked them. I enjoyed the place and it seems very popular with all tables full and virtually all bar seats taken. There was good music playing and everyone was having lots of fun. And, in the end, that's what it's all about eh.

A quick bite to eat here one day while in Melbourne on business. It's was just around the corner…read morefrom where we had been and was an easy choice after I read fellow yelpers reviews. We got the express lunch for $20 as it was light and quick to come out and came with a pot of beer which hit the spot as it had been a testing day. My calamari salad was good. The calamari was crispy and light while the large salad was quite nice and refreshing. My partner had ravioli and that was only a small serve but was also quite good for a quick lunch. The staff were courteous and quick to attend to us. I didn't look over the whole menu as time was limited but going by the food we had I'm sure the rest of the menu would've been quite nice.

This was a gem of a find. Set off the street and up a flight of stairs, the bar has a very nice…read morecovered outdoor area, well heated, large tables, great for groups large and small. The beers ranged from cheap to expensive, and seemed to vary depending on who served us :-) Lots of seating both inside and out. Have not tried the restaurant, but the fries we had with our beers were rather tasty. If I'm down that end of the city again I will definitely be visiting Slate.

Okay, I wouldn't say that this place is all that fancy, but it is still rather nice actually. Like,…read moreI found the staff to be rather pleasant, and the beers here were also actually pretty good. In a way there is something about this place that is just really rather charming. In fact, I found the front bar area to be rather comfortable, even though it was a little small. The location is pretty good as well, being up in the hills and surrounded by bushland. Yeah, this place was nice actually.

The service was consistent and average HOWEVER the decoration and the food was what made the night great! We ordered the Piggy Platter to share the it was a great mix of bread, olives, pork, cheese...all the goodies (there was 5 of us). For our mains we tried: Vegetarian Pizza - super tasty with thin base. Meat Lovers Pizza Eye fillet steak - medium to perfection, tender and juicy (expect for my sister not liking rocket leaves) Pork Belly - falls apart and juicy. Steak and Guinness Pie - I would have liked the chips to have had more flavour and more guinness in the pie. Everyone enjoyed their meals and we actually had half of each pizza left over so perhaps next time I would look at sharing more dishes instead of ordering a main each.

Basically it is an English style pub, but it has more charm, and more character, than a lot of others that I visit, namely because they don't go out of their way to make themselves appear to be an English tavern. Like, they have some rather nice beers on tap, and the staff are rather friendly as well. Yeah, this is actually a rather lovely place to be honest.

It does however tend to get very busy on the later nights as well as weekends, so call ahead to secure a table. There are lots of great things on the menu, any of the fried starters like Crispy Spring Rolls, Fried Calamari or Stuffed Chicken Wings are perfect to nibble on while you wait for mains. Main courses I've loved have been Rice Vermicelli with Grilled Pork or the Chicken, Chilli and Lemongrass Stir Fry, Yum! Another great draw card to Saigon Rose is the fact that it is BYO, corkage is about $8 and with all the main meals costing well under $20 it is easy to walk away from Saigon Rose with a full belly and plenty of change still in your pocket.

As such, when I was wandering through Melbourne early one morning looking for a place where I could grab a bite to eat for breakfast I decided that I would pay this place a little visit. Honestly, there wasn't anything about this place that really stood out for me, though their eggs benedict was quite nice, and arrived on my table fairly promptly. However I have to admit that this place didn't stand out all that much to me, and considering the countless other options available in Melbourne it is one that I would unlikely visit all that often. I do like the laneway feel about the place, but then again this isn't the only cafe hidden away on The Causeway.
