A well-lit display case of all of the delicious meats fronts the grill area. The Lygon Charcoal Grill offers an excellent selection of expertly and carefully prepared meats and fish. It's tough to make a choice from all of the tasty options. My selections for the evening were the crusty home-made bread (the bread was the size and width of focaccia but with a paper-thin crust) and a huge "small" garden salad to start followed by medium-rare grilled kangaroo fillets served on a bed of cranberries and accompanied with potatoes, carrots, peas, and corn for the main. The fillets were lightly seasoned; they were also served atop the cranberries--both of these let me choose the additional seasoning and cranberries to take. A well-chosen but pricy selection of wines, including several good wines by the glass, is available. Service was friendly and attentive. The meals aren't cheap (in any sense of the word), but they are more modestly priced than several nearby steakhouses. And although Yelpers don't appear to have found their way to the Grill, many other people clearly have. I wish I could afford to eat and be treated this well every night. I also wish that I had left room for dessert.

Really have to appreciate places that know how to make the customer feel valued!!! I would go back for sure to get the burger and give the steak another shot.

We took it because we had just flown in that morning and couldn't/didn't want to stay out late. Interesting thing is the restaurant was half full the entire time so we didn't understand why there wasn't availability any later. Enough of that, on to the food. Appetizer sampler was ok. Nothing stood out. Calamari, mini sausages, pork belly, bruschetta, salad. Wouldn't order again. Regular and garlic breads for another appetizer. Ok but nothing to make me order again. Lots of meat options and I chose the filet out of preference and suggestion by the waiter. Cooked well but the cut of meat was just ok. Good sized portion and in this case, as it should never be with a good cut of meet, the peppercorn sauce came in handy. Side salad instead of "chips" (fries) which wasn't anything special. Service was slow and we didn't have one consistent waiter.

Yes the beef was tender, but still lean and didn't have the intensity I had hoped for. The mashed potatoes could've used more butter and whatever potato they use ,again, lackluster and poor texture. For frame of reference you pay us extra for the side of vegetables, which was the price of my lunch. The price of the meal was the same as my 10 course meal at a fine dining restaurant a few days ago. You do the math. Wide Hawaiian selection, and he was the only item I felt was reasonably priced per glass.

But, I can see why after eating there. - Overall, it was pretty average. - Luckily, we started with some plates of kangaroo to share on the table, and that was the highlight of the entire meal. Otherwise, the Barramundi was just OK and the steak was pretty tough. The fries though were tasty. - My wife and I split both the Panna cotta and the Pavlova dessert and left about half of each on our plates. Bottom line: With all the great restaurants in Melbourne, I would go somewhere else if it was up to me.

I was so excited to try their famous Steak Frites - Grilled Hopkins River Porterhouse, with salad and BOTTOMLESS FRIES. Can you feel my excitement as you read?! The steak was cooked to absolute perfection and the salad gave much needed greenery to the dish.
