Natural History Bar & Grill, Melbourne VIC

The location is Collins street which is the nice one and the atmosphere was ok but the fries were burnt and the burger was too salty (probably the most salty one I've ever tried).

Besides, their bun seems like the ones you can find in Woolies or Coles 🥲

I didn't get the taste of fresh ingredients in my burger at all.
I prefer not to try anything else here although the staff are nice people.

Nice place for lunch either with colleagues or friends. Great atmosphere and yummy foods.

I had high hopes for this place. Been here once before for drinks with friends and it was a good experience so I was keen to come back to try the food. Unfortunately I was disappointed.

Came on a Wednesday night for parma night. This was the highlight of the evening as it was a solid parma. Chicken was moist and with crispy edges, although it did lack some tomato sauce I don't mark it down too much as that's up to personal taste. Chips were fine - good but nothing to write home about - although I did like the seasoning. Unfortunately the steak that we also ordered was a letdown.

Got the porterhouse steak and ordered it medium. It came out extremely rare - almost blue. The kitchen cooked it again but the waiter who served us did not look happy at all, giving a dismissive and insincere apology on her return. The 'wedges', as others have noted, were just roast potatoes cut into pieces. The steak itself was also nothing special - the cut that we got also had a thick artery running through the middle. Some parts had a nice charred taste but other than that certainly not worth the $43 price tag.

The main let down though was the service. Although we were greeted warmly it was downhill from there. It took 15 minutes for someone to come and take our order (we did try). Other than the 'apology' for the steak, it was difficult to get anyone's attention even though some were clearly idle. Some were paying more attention to the trivia and trying to answer questions than attend to the tables. When we left yet another waiter at the register was very abrupt and rolled her eyes when I pointed at the table we were sitting. And after all that, they charge a surcharge for credit and debit cards even though I was never told nor is there any sign at the register that there is a surcharge.

Overall we were disappointed. I wanted to like this place but can't recommend it on account of the mediocre - average food and the poor service experience.

A wonderful place for catchup, food & drinks. It's located in the heart of Melbourne CBD on Collins. They always have the friendliest staff who wouldn't hesitate to tell us what's best for the day. I also personally enjoy their weekly specials, & the animals up on decor.

Well all i can say is this was not an enjoyable experience.
A very limited menu with iver half of it vegetarian or gluten free made shorter by only 1 cut of steak available. Place has a wine/alcohol list 10 pages long but cant stock 3 diff cuts of steak. Order took 20 30mins to arrive and was less than underwhelming seeing ur steak have a charcoal look that u can do cave paintings with and a taste that is tough to chew just bought the meal down further. House cut chips are potatoes. Quartered and cut into wedges to.then be served half cooked with a salad that had just leaves and consisted of a tart vinigrette dressing that was just yuck.
Atmosphere was busy with some random trivia game going offf in.the corner but all we heard was muffled bursts frim the microphone and cheers for 90minutes.
Overall just a bad experience for us. Overpriced and over valued.
