    For one thing, if you're inviting people from around Melbourne to meet at a restaurant/bar, you cannot beat the location. Directly upstairs from the train platforms at Flinders Station. Good menu all around. I really enjoyed the burger and chips and my companions enjoyed their coffees, drinks, mushroom tacos and nasi goreng. I am grateful that the table I booked was at the front of the restaurant and pretty surprised at how quiet it was. Free membership gets you a discount. Looking forward to going back.

    Definitely value for money - Thursday night $25 steak night. Dressing on the salad was delicious, the seasoning on the chips was amazing, the steak was cooked to perfection and the accompanying mushroom sauce was define and the cider went down a treat on a hot night. Service was quick and efficient and delivered with a smile. Everything was on point.
