Waitstaff service was excellent, super friendly, helpful, attentive and love what they do. Food was fabulous also. My partner and I shared a few tapas dishes and a main each. Presentation was beautiful, flavours were delightful. The tuna tataki was my super favourite, followed by the beef tartare. The restaurant has an intimate vibe with dimmed lighting. Despite the paper tablecloths they still managed to maintain the fine dine feels. I'm def coming back again to try everything else! Show this place some love guys! Well done team! :D

Talk about customer service without even being in the restaurant. On Mondays they have a special. $3 pizza with the purchase of any drink. Pretty good deal if you ask me. Being from NY, I am a pizza snob...and proud. I ordered the pork and fennel sausage pizza. It was very good! It had sausage, red onion and peppers. I would suggest that they cook it a little bit longer to get that "well done" taste. About 2-3 minutes more! There's an upstairs part of the restaurant also with a great view! The menu is a little different with a tapas style menu. I went upstairs after my meal and it was a great view! I came here for dinner around 430PM. It was very crowded when I left. Definitely the place to be!

Naked for Satan is a large space with a sprawling open air rooftop up on the 4th floor along with a smaller pub-like space on the main level. We joined the 30-something crew up on the deck on a mild March day. In the shade it was a tad cool and you could tell fall was setting in. There is no table service on the patio so you need to go inside to order food/drinks. We enjoyed a couple of pisco sours while watching people trickle in after a busy work week. The interior has a steam-punk, industrial vibe and that's fun and inventive. Service at the bar was friendly and they brought our drinks to us outside. We only had an hour free in our packed itinerary but I'd definitely head back to try the food and just partake in the great people-watching,

Started with a shot of masticha - an amazing Greek liquor. Nice wine list, with a selection from Greece and Australia (well, I did go with an Australian wine). The grilled octopus appetizer was amazing - tender and drizzled with olive oil and parsley. The lamp kebab was cooked to perfection, soft and flavorful, accompanied by tzatziki and pita bread. The food is delicious, the view breathtaking, the servers exceptional... I wish I could give 6 stars! Tip: make reservations- the place is super-popular!!

Just off Little Bourke St on level 1 is a little Latin American bar called Vamos. Dimly lit with…read moresome cosy little fairy-light nooks, coming here early on a Thursday night for a knock-off drink provided a nice casual spot to catch up for a drink. Service is great, the staff were really lovely and helpful. Many of the staff here also teach Spanish at the local language school where I study, which certainly speaks to their passion for bringing their local flavour to Melbourne. The menu is Latin American inspired small plates, so we ordered a couple of bites from the bar snacks portion to share as a group - beef shin empanadas, guacamole and chips, and polenta chips. All were tasty, the guac and chips were spot on and I particularly like the polenta chips as they were quite thin and crunchy rather than the chunky-burn-your-mouth out trying to eat it type. I'd come back and give dinner a go. I wasn't drinking so can't comment much on the booze available, but I did see that they do have happy hour specials going and mulled wine for winter. Probably somewhere I'd come more for a beer or margarita than a wine. They have a lot of shows and events here, their web site features a lot of fun Latin-American inspired music acts from mariachi bands to flamenco and Brazilian performers if you're looking for something more upbeat. If a boozy rowdy night is your style, I'd plan ahead for when something is happening or go on a Saturday night. If you're after a more chilled out spot to catch up with some friends, early weeknights are a good time to go.

I couldn't make it all the way home and I certainly couldn't make delicious food and I was by myself, what to do? Thank the gods who gave us Littlefoot. Gorgeous wee bar in the heart of Footscray, with the nicest staff who instantly make you feel welcome. But the clincher is the fabulous menu. It's weird to find yourself raving about a bar menu because they're normally so stock standard. But this menu is packed with such clever little items, with some lovely nods to the unique local cuisine in the 'scray. Tonight I chose off their specials menu and scored the most succulent little crumbed eggplant fritters. And the mini churros with salted caramel goodness. I must mention the injerra scrolls as I've had them before and they're a superb invention! Delicious! Nice and light, and very promptly served. The bar menu is also very good and any liquor snob will find something to their taste. I'm a tequila drinker and their range, while not extensive, is excellent quality. Topped off with great local beers on tap, a perfect spot for a few drinks with friends. Great to see this end of Footscray developing, and Littlefoot is setting an excellent standard.

I'm never going to be happy with $20+ for breakfast. Having said that the food was tasty…read more It was pretty quiet in the restaurant compared to other cafes nearby but it meant fast, attentive service. It's more of a dinner dining experience so the atmosphere for brunch is pretty formal. Having said that it's a nice set up and the all day brekkie menu has a good selection of different types of stuff from pancakes to quinoa to eggs benny and full English. I had wild mushroom ragout with duck egg and my companion had avo with bacon and goats cheese. Both were tasty and nicely presented. It filled the hole. Coffee was good enough to satisfy a snobby Italian Fortunately it's not noisy from the hissing coffee machine and that alone would be worth one extra star at least! Amongst a sea of brunch places it's reasonably priced. No kids so that was a huge bonus! I'd recommend giving The Vault a crack but it's unlikely to become your go to Sunday brunch spot.

My colleague and I stopped here for a late lunch as we were intrigued by their paella lunch…read morespecial. Unfortunately we were told the $20 meal deal was only good through 12:30pm. Since we had our minds set on the paella, we each ordered one anyway. I got the daily special with sausage, scallops and pumpkin while she opted for the lamb. Having sampled both, I can say with certainty that they know their paella! The lamb paella was tender and flavourful, a good sign that the meat had been simmering to soften and flavour it, along with the rice. The scallop paella was just delightful, having the right blend of spices, a bit of surf and turf to flavour the rice, along with well blended pumpkin. It was hearty and filling. Both dishes were served on small paella pans and were well presented. In addition, the sangrias we sipped were fruity and refreshing. The staff was friendly, checking in on us more than once, topping off our water and clearing our table. It's true we beat the lunch rush so enjoyed the extra attention. This is one place where coming later still ensures you get a delicious meal, as the paella is a great dish that soaks in more flavour the longer on the grill. Come here for a fantastic lunch or sample their happy hour menu from 3-6pm. With a great location and tasty dishes, it is simply delicious.

Lovely Italian Spot Along the Promenade…read more Having had too rich a diet recently we started with a couple of Negronis, a plate of tomatoes, and some olives. They served us some bread to go with and we were in heaven munching while watching the river and the people drift by. The service was prompt, but not rushed and I noticed after a while that all the servers were Italian. This is a nice touch. After finishing those we were still a little hungry and split a plate of pesto gnocchi. The dumplings were light and firm and the pesto sauce was perfect. We savored that and a little more people watching and eventually drifted off. There are a huge number of choices along the Promenade. After writing off the chain restaurants, the soulless corporate fronts with thumping music, and the ones with the dreaded QR code ordering systems there are still many to choose from. We found Teatro among our favorites for its simple authenticity and diverse menu.
