I am a Melbourne local and received a voucher to do the Cafe and Coffee culture tour. I have to…read moreadmit I was not expecting to much except to try new coffee places. BUT IT WAS SO MUCH MORE. Our guide, Fiona, was a wealth of information about the history of Melbourne and answered all our question with great detailed. The tour weaved through the lane way stopping a historical points along the way some including a coffee taster (or hot drink of choice) and sweet treats. The tour ended with an amazing lunch all included in the cost of the tour. So happy I discovered many new lane ways and hide a way restaurants to visit in future.

My wife and I came for dinner, and decided to return the next day for their "Boozy Brunch". The dinner was so delicious. We ordered too much, but ate as much as we could before literally throwing in the towel. I ordered a Manhattan and it was very good for Australian standards. Not the best I've had, and certainly not the worst. My wife had the Chandon Garden Spritz which she enjoyed. To eat, we shared the Pork Belly, and a cut of steak I don't recall. FYI...if it's two people, only order one of these dishes. It's plenty for two. Oh! We did have the bone marrow and dumplings for an appetizer. Both were equally delicious. Now, let me get into their "Boozy Brunch". Apologies, but brunch shouldn't be the same food items on the dinner menu. Where are the eggs? Sweet and savory items (French toast, bacon, etc)? Yes, you can get people in with bottomless drinks for two hours, but you can get more people in with eggs Benedict and avocado toast! Especially, when you throw in some really great live music and singing! I would hope on my next trip to Melbourne, that I could return to this fantastic place and enjoy a good "brekkie" with a mimosa. A few ideas...Pork Belly Benny (you already have it on your menu), fried rice with a fried egg on top, linguisa or chorizo sausage on the side. Maybe a continental breakfast tray with mini muffins, croissants, fresh fruit, coffee/tea, and don't forget the avocado toast. There isn't a restaurant in Melbourne that can't put that together on the whim. BTW...this info is free of charge. You're welcome!

I recently came to "sketch", one of the venues at central pier run by the Atlantic group. The…read morereason for a visit was a wedding and to be honest, I couldn't be more impressed. The entree was a tortellini filled with goats cheese and surrounded by a beef consommé. It was fresh, delicate and very tasty. The main was chicken sitting on a bed of risotto. I did think the risotto was slightly under cooked, but that is down to personal taste. Dessert was a plethora of choice, done in a "roaming" fashion. Small serves were distributed across the room like a canapé service. This was a great idea and I one that I would replicate at my own parties in the future. There were a number of other dishes available on the night which I didn't try, but all reports suggest they were excellent. Of course... What is available is entirely up to your hosts, so your experiences will not be same each time you go there. It is difficult to please everyone at a catered function like a wedding, and I certainly couldn't fault this venue at all. On top of that, it has great views of the bay, in particular the Bolte Bridge lit up at night. I can only imagine that this venue would be too expensive for a lot of people's weddings, but it shows that 'You get what you pay for'
The perfect venue for a stylish wedding, corporate xmas party, awards night or NYE event and a very…read moreclassy one at that. Every aspect of this brand new event space overlooking the gorgeous Albert Park Lake has been designed for the ultimate event experience. The space is vast yet cleverly sectioned with 2 balconies, a cloak room, a bridal chamber, 2 bars, a dance floor and plenty of high top tables with stools as well as places to lounge. The function I had the pleasure of attending was a cocktail affair as the sun set but sit down events are catered for too. The food is perfection, jam packed with flavour in delicate bites, ideal for popping in your mouth with one hand whilst you hold your well made cocktail in the other. The prawns were cooked beautifully and the homemade ice creams were creamy and delicious. I had 3. Introducing some fun to the event were a Dumpling stand (so Melbourne) and a Picnic stall where you could make your own gourmet open faced sandwiches but best of all was the candy bar arranged with an endless supply of quality candies and chocolates. I ate my weight in raspberry lollies covered in thick white chocolate. The acoustics in the room were great for a band and if the fancy takes you the roof is equipped to hold the equipment for a cirque de soleil style gymnast to perform any manner of acrobatics from it. The Park is above the Albert Park rowing club and importantly across the road from the Pullman Hotel should you wish to plan a big night and stay close by. I am looking forward to the opportunity to revisit this great space, fingers crossed someone I know has an event soon!

Staff were good, particularly a very slim Indian woman (perhaps a student) who worked ferociously with impeccable manners.

The dinner service was flawless, and the staff were very attentive, from making sure each guest was taken care of, to ensuring the bridal party and of course the bride and groom had everything they could possibly need. The main function room itself is beautiful. The room is circular, and the dance floor in the centre is surrounded by guest tables and a wedding table party that overlooks the room. I loved the set up, and it was a perfect set up for the perfect wedding. I also attended a couple of highschool presentation evenings here to accept some awards in my last couple of years of highschool. The venue worked well for that event too. Iwould highly recommend checking it out for your own events.
I disagree with those who say The Point Albert Park is one of the best restaurants in Melbourne…read more The decor and architecture inside this place is nothing special. I was quite disappointed actually. It has a simple reception style decor. The restaurant is located in front of the Albert Park Lake. Depending on the day or night, the view may be nice to look at. Unfortunately, the view was far from spectacular that night. I assume that the view and location is contributes to the price and reputation of this place. I can see that this place can be a suitable venue for a wedding function as there is a separate big dining function room. Personally, this isn't my personal preference in terms of architecture and space. The actual restaurant is quite small, narrow and not as extravagant as I expected. There were many other couples that night. I personally wouldn't recommend this place for date night as there are other better places to take someone on a date. Then again, the view might be more appealing during the day or during summer night. My partner and I started with a dozen of natural oysters with lemon. Half a dozen of St Helens Tasmania and half of Coffin Bay (which is actually my favourite oysters). The oysters were ok, and was not cold enough. It was room temperature or as if the oysters were sitting in the kitchen bench for a while. I believe natural oysters served at a fine dining restaurant should be served cold, not warm. I had the Seared rock lobster, veal sweetbread, Parmesan gnocchi and crepe sauce. It was a standard sized meal for a fine dining restaurant, but if you're big eater or prefer a pub sized meal then you'll be disappointed with this dish. It was actually a good sized meal for me. The lobster meat was delicious and meaty, the parmesan gnocchi was soft, fresh and had a cheesy (not overpowering) taste upon first bite. The veal was tougher than the lobster and had a slightly burnt bitter taste. This was a good contrast to the rest of the dish which is quite delicate including the crepe sauce. It was a fine dish but I wouldn't order this dish again because I've had more memorable and scrumptious lobster dishes as a main. As for the presentation, it was average and expected more creativity for the price tag and the reputation of this restaurant. My partner ordered the David Blackmore wagyu steak which was listed on the menu. He requested for the steak to be cooked medium. Upon the arrival of his steak with no explanation of the steak so we assumed it was the David Blackmore wagyu plate, parsley and beetroot my partner ordered from the menu. The presentation was simple without any WOW factor. My partner said it was good steak but slightly too salty for his liking. I had several bites and was in love. In my opinion it was very delicious with a slight charcoaled outer taste and tender meat inside. Along with the steak and lobster as our main, we had the Cauliflower, bearnaise sauce and gruyere. We shared dessert and had the Pear souffle, Poire William and Champagne sorbet. Once again, presentation was average but the taste was amazing. The soufflé was soft and fluffy on the top and syrupy at the bottom with obvious sweetness from the pear. The champagne sorbet was perfect, cold, smooth and does not have that typical strong sweet or sour sugary sorbet taste. The bill arrived for a much high total than we expected. It turns out there was a hiccup somewhere between the waiter and the kitchen or waiter and the manager. I won't go into specific dollars but I will say we were charged for an item that wasn't even on the menu and was more expensive. Luckily, my partner enjoyed his steak (except for the slight saltiness) so was happy to pay. Personally, I think there's a problem when between 3-4 people cannot get an order right. Overall, the food delivers on quality and taste, but lacks creativity in terms of plating. So I can see how this restaurant is rated on their food but The Point Albert Park needs to work on their communication and customer service. The food is pricey but you will get quality produce. Whether it is worth the money, you'll have to judge it for yourself. Personally, I'll save my money for other places in the future because I don't believe in paying for fine food with not so fine service.

We emailed them during the week to book for Saturday lunch and were told it was booked out, so it was surprising to arrive for a tasting to see more than half the tables were empty and be told we could have one as long as we cleared out in two hours time (People must do long lunches around here!) so always worth trying your luck. Food is decent without being mind-blowing: tasty fish and chips, calamari, burgers and meatball pasta were our choices and everyone left happy. The wines are hit and miss for me. Some really nice ones, others don't impress - but I should say that some of my tasting buddies had the opposite experience and loved what I didn't, and weren't taken with what i loved - so it's one of those that might polarise taste buds. Just gives you something to talk about over lunch.

The experience of floating along the Yarra river, surounded by the city lights and landmarks like flinders st station, the cathedral and the MCG all lit up is in my opinion, one of thefinest experiences you can have in Melbourne. Sitting on the top deck affords the most mesmerising views.Im not sure how that would go in bad weather, but Im sure they have an answe to that. Of course, with the cruise comes the meal. I didnt really expect it to be anything special, because I thought the experience would rely heavily on the 'being a boat' part of the restaurant appeal. However, the service was excellent, and the food was quite nice! I enjoyed an asian style crispy skin salmon with sweet chili soy sauce for my main and both the chocolate mousse cake and the cheese platter were delicious afterwards. The onboard cellar offers a variety of Australian wines, which I think is perfect for the visiting tourist. Overall this is great evening out and I'd highly recommend it!
