    A Melbourne institution. Geared to business lunches during the day and general dining in the evening. The food is excellent - great choices, well-executed, good serving sizes, and fairly priced. The wine list is extensive, with many choices across the price range. An inviting ambience for lunch: busy and animated, but not too loud.
