This is a hidden gem tucked away on South Wharf that you need to know about.. Having never ventured past Melbourne Public, I had no idea this wine bar existed until now!
Impressed by the friendly and attentive staff as well as the super chill wine bar vibes that portrayed a feeling of spesh but casual and was as cosy as it was suave.
With an amazing array of drinks including gins and vodkas distilled on site, it was hard to say no to a tasting flight as cute as this one!
The Cobb Salad was fresh and went well with any dressing if ranch isn't exactly your thing (controversial but true opinion, I suggest the coriander dressing myself) with chicken that was crispy and not at all oily. It was a light option should you not be in the mood for their heavier fare.
The Chicken Marsala was just as delightful with a creamy mushroom sauce that wasn't overpowering and a mashed potato that actually tasted like potato. I just wish their food was slightly more salted for my tastes.
The Chocolate Brownie could have been warmed up but was delicious and devoured by the dessert lover between us nonetheless.
The food didn't blow you away, it's not a OMG you must dine here.. but it's as reasonable as it is reasonably priced and for that wine and dine vibe, it's a secret gem that really shouldn't be so secret!
