We had a wonderful dinner experience. The service was exceptional from the greeting at the door to goodbyes and everything in between. The quantity of food was just right and timing between courses perfect. The flavours of the menu were absolutely awesome with not one dish disappointing. Also the wine list had some serious gems available. We can only describe this dinner as WOW!!

We dined at Il Gambero on a recent trip to Melbourne. We had a large table of 18 people. We were easily accommodated, and the room we were put in was perfect for our excited, loud group and also the kids. Service, food and value for money was exceptional. I highly recommend

Absolute amazing food and service. Been before and still the same outstanding experience. Decided to bring along close friends who are picky with their dinning and food, even they called me the following morning expressing how much they enjoyed Muses. Well done.
