Came here for a friend’s birthday dinner. I quite liked the ambience. It has a classy, old-school feel with a warm, homely and slightly rustic style. We ordered the grilled octopus, grilled ox tongue, whole roast flathead, porterhouse and broccolini. The food was good overall, with the grilled ox tongue and flathead being my favourites. The service was friendly and attentive, although I felt the service was a little rushed at times. A more relaxed pace would have been nice. Overall, a good dinner and an enjoyable evening out.

Sitting opposite Parliament House with views over Spring Street, The Melbourne Supper Club has been an iconic after-hours go-to since 1998. A late-night wine and cocktail bar with stylish couches, chesterfields and a large circular bay window. Serving supper from 10 pm - 4 am, 5 nights a week. From small snacks to nourishing medium to large-sized plates, the menu is inspired by the late-night drinking cultures of Italy, France, and Greece and is designed by sister restaurants, the European, City Wine Shop and of course Kafeneion. Inducted into the most recent Australian Wine List of The Year Hall of Fame, the wine list is as deep as the guests' imagination, with a carefully curated by-the-glass list and a library of wine drawing from decades-old cellars. The drinks offering also includes cocktails, including exclusive award-winning spirits and martini offerings.

Really good food, we had the Gnocchi and the Murray Cod accompanied with interesting local white wines and even made room for freshly baked Madeleines with caramel sauce. Good service, good venue, convenient location all added up to a memorable experience and the best tasting food in a long time. Thanks and well done
