I guess one of my coworkers is a regular here since we stay close by. We got a bunch of different food and everything was so delicious. I did prefer the regular hummus over the other one they offered but both were very good. A few of us decided to come by again for dinner the next day because we liked it so much. Lots of seating and it's right off the water.

When I first wandered around here I thought it may be just been a bar, and in a way it is, but it is much more than that. So, the next time I found myself in Kew I decided to pay this place a visit for some breakfast, and it certainly was worth it. The staff were certainly great, and while it was a little pricey, it certainly wasn't on the scale that would end up breaking my bank. I grabbed the big breakfast, which can be a bit of a mouthful at times, but in this case it was delicious. Oh, and the coffee wasn't bad as well.

It has a nice cozy snow lodge type feel in my opinion. You walk in and the dark wooden colour with the fireplace right in the centre. Wonderful for a nice cold winters day. We went for the High Tea which was $40 and $10 for a glass of Veuve Clicquot (can't forget to mention every glass of it is $10 per glass while you are there and we had the Brut and Rose). The amount of food you get, you definitely shouldn't have lunch and you should also expect to have a late dinner. The savory course had 6 options which ranged from mini cheeseburgers, a toasted sandwich, soup, and a few other yummy delites! The 2nd course of the High Tea consisted of a lovely creme brûlée, a chocolate souffle and a bunch of other yummy treats. I have to admit, if you want a great High Tea for a great price, this is the place to go! Supposedly they also have a cheese night with matching wines for a great price as well!

We both chose the salmon which was cooked well, I like mine a bit on the pink side in the middle which it was so very happy about that. Biggest problem was dessert, was called lemon meringue on the menu but it was not what we expected as was a really cold, almost frozen block of lemon curd which was ok if they would call it semi fredo but they didn't. I would have chosen something else if I had known. Was also cold in there and there was a very noisy group of 8 behind us which made it unbearable at the end so we left. Maybe it's better for meat eaters?

Was looking for something different on my last night in Melbourne and this came up when I was…read moresearching. I made my way over to Hardware St which was hopping early-ish on a Saturday night. Thankfully I was able to get a table outside (great area for people watching!) I started with the sambal ray and a glass of champagne. The ray was really good and the champagne wasn't bad for just the house option. For the main course I got the seafood claypot and some of the chili bread for dipping as well as a glass of chardonnay. First, the bad part, the main came out less than a minute after my appetizer. I was mildly annoyed by this, but in the end it wasn't a huge deal since the clay pot kept it piping hot until I was ready to eat it anyway. The bread, couscous, seafood and broth were all really good. I did my best to soak up all of the broth with my bread and in the end I had no chance at finishing the huge helping of couscous. All in all it was a really good meal and I would definitely go back.

When I'm really out to impress visitors with just how great Melbourne is, I bring them here. I never get bored of seeing their surprise that the unassuming, unmarked door on Spring Street is our destination, then feeling their delight and relief when they reach the top of the stairs to the warm and inviting ambience of the understated glamour and sophistication of the Melbourne Supper Club. Guests are naturally further wowed by the drinks menu, which is not only extensive but also refined. After some wine followed by their expensive but delicious tapas style dishes, maybe the sampling of some single malt whiskey, the dark sky outside the semi-circular window begins to lighten and its a mad but happy dash to a taxi outside and on home.

So many mixed reviews about this place. I can tell you that mine was fairly pleasurable. However I…read morewasn't paying so that makes my review a little one sided... The supper club essentially is a great place to go for pre-theatre dining. It brings to mind images of ye ol' gentle men sitting around drinking whiskey and sampling cognac, while admiring the mahogany furnishings that surround them. My visit on this occasion was completely the opposite although I was in good company I am not sure he was a gentleman and our visit involved some post drinking well.. drinking and possibly some theatrics on the side. As far as that atmosphere went, it was dare I say "going off" during the wee hours of the morning with hustle and bustle surrounding us I really did feel like I had entered another realm with so many creatures to and froing from the bar and the wait staff bright eyed and bushy tailed ready to serve.

Collins Quarter fits the more upscale city pub theme. There is no TAB or pokies here. I particularly like the architecturally designed courtyard with its industrial feel and retractable glass roof. It's the perfect place to sit back and catch up with friends and do some people watching too. The restaurant offers a full service selection of food, from bars snacks to main meals and plenty of seasonal offerings. An upcoming Saturday afternoon menu promises, for example, suckling pig rolls to be washed down with freshly brewed beer from Mildura. The service is a winner too - casual, yet attentive. In a uniquely Melbourne way, Collins Quarter can be entered via an alleyway (Pink Alley) and it can also be accessed directly via Collins St. Worth a visit!

Although I have heard that it can be a little bit loud during after work drinks. You have options here, everyone likes options! There is two different types of atmosphere, the dining room stiff chair experience with a wonderful courtyard view and more attention from the wait staff, probably because of the easy line of site. Or you can choose for the booths along the wall, mostly hidden by a supporting wall that they've cut holes out of as much as possible. I prefer the booth. What you loose in service standard (in time only) you make up for in reduced noise, nicer ambience and seriously comfortable dining. It is true that you will have to work harder for attention but if you grew up with brothers and sisters I'm sure you'll be fine. Like many places in the Paris end of town this spot has a wonderful wine list and there's something good for everyone (from $47 to ~$1k) and most of the people there can help you with matching wine to your food. If not, have the steak, it's yummy (professional term). Seriously though, I strongly recommend sitting in a booth with your work colleagues with a bottle of wine and a burger, it makes any disagreement you're having seem much more trivial and by the time you reach the dregs of the second bottle I'm sure they'll see it your way ;-)
