Essence on Exhibition

My family spent Christmas lunch here at $250 per person and it was very very disappointing. The quality of food wasn’t great. There was no live entertainment. The drinks that were included in the “all you can drink package” were very basic and average quality. The Santa that came was in such a cheap Santa suit (that looked like it was from the $2 shop) and his beard looked so fake my 5 year old asked me “why Santa looked like that?” Santa was also handing out little gifts to the children from a black RUBBISH bag which looked extremely cheap & tacky for the amount we paid! The table service could’ve been better for the money we spent. Overall all I would never spend a Christmas Day lunch there again and wouldn’t recommend to go here.

We came here to celebrate Valentines Day the day before and thoroughly enjoyed the atmosphere, meals and service. We found this place in the entertainment book and thought we would give it a go. I had the Taylor’s Bay Tasmanian salmon, braised baby leek, smoked mash, red pepper aioli, Aussie furikake & dried baby capers and my husband had the Alpine pepper rubbed pan roasted chicken breast, paperbark smoked mash, broccolini, yellow curry sauce, green papaya, carrot, Asian herb salad & crushed peanuts with a Quinoa, pomegranate & soft herb salad to share. We loved the food it was perfectly cooked and full of flavour and taste. The staff were friendly and professional, we hardly noticed they were there. Overall I recommend this place for a delicious modern Australian meal in the Melbourne city (I think they have pre-theatre dinner packages which look good) and you will also get great ambience.

One dish to avoid Beef cheeck, it was too salty that you can't consume. Other dish was average. Went on weeknight, it seem there only 1 permanent waier the other two waiters only occasionally grace the floor. Bread given with no plate and dish took forever to clear between meal. Worst can't get order right when it not even busy
