The location was fab. Very close to the station and right on the Yarra with a great view. We had a reasonally private area which suited our group. Annaliese who I booked through was super helpful.
We were down one setting on arrival and when I asked about it I was asked with "are you sure". We had booked for 25 but there were 24 settings at the table. When the staff came out to put an extra table on the end they were not happy and quite rude. I've also been given feedback from a lot of our staff members that the steak was quite rare but very chewy.
