We've dined here a few times now, chasing the memory of the incredible calamari we had on our very…read morefirst visit. That first plate was unforgettable -- perfectly tender with a crisp, light coating that we couldn't stop talking about. Since then, it's been a bit hit or miss with the calamari. My son ordered the kids' calamari on one visit, which wasn't quite the same, and on another visit, we ordered the regular calamari again but the coating was falling off a bit -- still crispy, just not the same magic as that first time. The fish dishes, however, have been consistently excellent. The crispy whole snapper with red curry sauce was hands down my favorite -- beautifully cooked, packed with flavor, and the perfect balance of crispy skin and tender flesh. The whole King George whiting was rich and satisfying, and both the grilled barramundi and baby snapper were fresh and well prepared. Service has been solid on every visit -- friendly, efficient, and attentive without being overbearing. We usually sat outside, which made the experience even better with views of the waterfront and a laid-back, breezy atmosphere. Overall, a great spot for fresh seafood -- when it's on, it's outstanding.

"...AFFORDABLE CLASSY DINING IN BEAUTIFUL BEAUMARIS..."…read more Last week we enjoyed a gorgeous three course lunch, with some fair dinkum QUALITY Aussie chardonnay, at the GRANGE STEAK AND GRILL in bayside Beaumaris - it was 10 degrees cooler out here [than in town] - that sea breeze was just so lovely... The whole experience was first class all the way: - elegant digs - silver service - fab food So thanks to Ben - the head guy - who made it such a pleasure - a really lovely person who kept serving us for an hour after they'd closed - we arrived very late - kinda difficult at present to judge the Chrissy traffic...!!! Anyway, over the course of 2 hours we ate and drank... and really truly thoroughly enjoyed the following: -Grilled rustic bread -Chargrilled asparagus with Spanish prosciutto -Grange salt and pepper squid -Chargrilled Grange baby sausages then -Walnut cannelloni -Chargrilled premium eye fillet steak -Reza's signature whole lobster tail risotto -Pan fried salmon -Sides: potatoes roasted in duck fat, smoked salmon with creamy salmon mousse, beer battered fat fries, beetroot mash then -Chef's selection of signature desserts including house made vanilla ice-cream, chocolate mousse, creme caramel and chocolate gateau. To drink: -house chardonnay -house made LLB's -NZ sparkling water Okay, the whole thing cost us $138 [2 x $69 Scoopon Vouchers] plus $43 for a few extras = $182 for four. Just so so so, YES so amazin'......!!!! A classy joint.. with beautiful F & B's.. decent sized servings, considering it's fine dining.. and top notch service.. but, not formal, if you don't want it to be.. not dress-up, if you don't want to.. and not over-priced.. A great place to take that some-one special... Visited on Friday 18 December 2015 for lunch.

Hands down, unequivocally, beyond question the best fish & chips is this part of town…read more The restaurant is immaculately clean. The fish is fresher than Craig Mack. The staff is faster, more friendly and more efficient than...uh, something ridiculously fast, friendly and efficient. Properly frying food is a science. Time, temperature and technique dictate the difference between soggy/greasy and crispy/light. They have mastered the process and the results are evident in their products. This was particularly noticeable upon eating a piece of fried flake that my son couldn't finish approximately 2 hours after he'd ordered it. The batter was still crunchy and light, which is something I've rarely encountered with fried food. They also act a fish monger, selling fresh seafood at a reasonable price. Additionally they just relocated to a larger shop, and added a noodle bar. As far as the noodles go I've only had the hokkien mee so far as I figured it would be a good baseline and I'm pleased to report it was very good. This is my go-to fish and chips in Chelsea and I'm hoping it becomes my go-to noodle joint too.

I was taken on a first date to Il Cantuccio and it was incredible. It was a very brave choice by the gentleman concerned considering this venue is quite intimate and romantic - perhaps more an Anniversary destination than a first date. The wine list is extensive and the staff have that warm, family feel and will help you match your wine to your meal and assist with any other queries. The food is traditional Italian but not the greasy, cheesy kind you can so often find in other restaurants on the Lygon street strip. This food is filling, classic and made with love (yes, with love.) This is a great destination when you are trying to romance your partner - it worked on me!

The crab curry is once again generous, with a nice hit of spice.

They also have a downstairs bar too with seating that was also booked and packed. Nice variety of dishes, chef curated plates that were visually pleasing to the eye. The drinks while good and unique were carefully measured and extremely small for the price points. 3 cocktails and I didn't feel buzzed. I feel like Australia is very big on preventing intoxication. One of the few places that had knowledgeable staff and to my surprise actually nice and welcoming. I tried the BBQ Salmon wrapped in a banana leaf, braised beef curry, and a couple of drinks. Rather your traveling or a local who hasn't tried this place, it definitely should be on your radar. I was traveling from California and ChinChin was by far the most memorable dining experience I had.
