If you're looking for a private dining room in Southbank, the best ones are on Flinders Street. You can spot them as soon as you step onto the promenade—they're impossible to miss. There are so many private dining rooms that you might have a hard time deciding which one to choose. You can have a quiet meal for two or throw a huge celebration for a hundred people—and everything in between! Some are located on Southbank Promenade and have beautiful scenery, while others overlook the hustle and bustle of Melbourne. The venues on Whiteman Street also offer breathtaking views but are located in more modern surroundings. The reason they're so eye-catching is because they're built high up above the street on top of buildings, giving them a sense of elegance and grandeur.
