    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.

    Had an amazing experience here Saturday night! The food was delicious - a nice variety of dips with…read morefresh bread, Saganaki, calamari, prawns, beef, chicken, pork, Greek salad and an array of delicious Greek desserts - we struggled to finish it all! Thoroughly enjoyed the atmosphere, the live Greek band was amazing. The music had everyone up dancing together which was great - it was like being at a Greek wedding with family. Very fun! The venus also allows BYO wine also which was a nice bonus. For the amount of food that was served to us, along with a great live band and plenty of traditional Greek dancing, the $45 set menu was very reasonable. Will definitely come back and will be recommening Yiannis Tavern to friends and family!

    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.

    Really interesting menu choices here and friendly knowledgeable service. It's tapas, so you're…read moremeant to share lots and lots of small but beautiful courses. The raw tuna was a favourite however it was such a tiny size, I could have easily enjoyed it a dozen times over. It's Glenferrie Rd Hawthorn, so it's not cheap in any sense of the word. Very happy to have my friend invite me here and pick up the tab.
