We booked a table for dinner in the Bar. Great atmosphere and staff were well trained and friendly. The menu is an elevated offering. Our meals were delicious and generous in size. A great wine list and delicious cocktails. The bar had a great ambience and we had a great time. Would highly recommend and we will return.

After visiting the Kingston for a business meeting we couldn't have been more impressed. The staff were exceptional, food was great, plenty of seafood and vegetarian options for our guests and GF bread. the wine list prices are very reasonable and a great range of options from local to international, also we all commented on the beautiful wine glasses provided. I've been telling everyone back at the office all day about this venue. We will be back!

This was my first time organising and hosting an event at a restaurant, and everything worked out perfectly. I really appreciated the team at Marble & Pearl/ The Kingston's politeness and attentiveness. The service was amazing.

For many of the guests, it was their first visit to the restaurant, and they were very impressed by the aesthetics (and I had a feeling they would be - it's such a stunning space!) and the delicious food!

Amazing food, service and atmosphere. We came here for my birthday and had a fantastic night. The staff were awesome, very friendly and professional. We shared the oysters and jumbo prawns which were delicious, I had the ceviche and chowder both were yummy and the chowder had lots of seafood. Nick had the steak which was melt in your mouth. Very good wines too. Classy décor in the bar and restaurants

Dined here and ordered several dishes which included complementary bread. The pastel starter was deep fried, very crispy with a nice savoury beef and jalapeno filling; it didn't feel greasy and heavy which was good. The seafood chowder was served in two separate bowls which was kind and considerate as they noted that we were sharing. Soup was not as thick and creamy as I would have liked but it has a pleasant mild seafood taste with a good amount of prawns, mussels and fish. The wagyu pie pastry was flaky and the braised meat was tender but found the red wine flavour was a bit overpowering the beefy taste. Lastly, the beef wellington was served in a timely manner after the initial dishes. The eye fillet was cooked medium rare and tender as expected and the puff pastry was maintained flaky for the most part. Texture was pretty good but flavour wise the prosciutto didn't have the saltiness and the mushroom duxelle just tasted of concentrated earthy mushroom without any herbs, onions and other seasoning.

My close friend and I meet every few weeks at a new pub to catching up over a long lunch so we have been to quite a few. A great pub is something special, and this is a great pub. The atmosphere, the food, the drinks and wine list are exceptional. The staff are kind, light hearted and knowledgeable. If you're looking for a great lunch or dinner to take your friends and family this has to be on top of your list. I honestly cant fault this place.

Unassuming venue with a big heart. The cocktails were second to none - inventive and delicious across the board. The food was very good, as was the service.

The menu in the front bar also looked great, and on a nice day the beer garden would be a great place to spend a few hours.

Had a meal at Marble and Pearl to celebrate our anniversary. The food was delicious and the service was super friendly and attentive. Can't fault the steak tartare, bone marrow, lobster or creme brule.
Only minor pitfall was them being out of the reisling I was keen to order by the glass but was recommended a tasty pinot grigio as an alternative.
The interior decor is slick and newly renovated.
The rest of the Kingston is a great pub, with a nice outdoor space for summer and a cosy fireplace inside for winter.

We had a steak sandwich, beef pie, burger for lunch with work colleagues. The desserts were excellent. Food was great service a bit slack.

Went for post footy dinner with a group of 10 friends. Though it has a wide range of wine and tap beer, main dishes were disappointing. Seafood chowder was like thin soup and some of us only got 1 prawn and 2/3 clams in it. Hunger steak was good but fries were from maccas probably. Also seating arrangement were so tight and uncomfortable to enjoy a nice conversation and meal. For that price mark the night was total let down.

Excellent steakhouse in Richmond. Service was marvellous. Ambience was great, not too noisy. We loved all our starters and mains but unfortunately ran out of room for desserts. Wine pairing recommendations were also on point. Would love to be back soon!

We enjoyed a family catch up at The Kingston and with 9 of us we had limited options available to us but given we wanted a sit down meal had to ask to be relocated from the more casual lounge area we had been assigned to the fancier restaurant out the back. In Doug so we had to squish on a table probably designed for less people so was pretty tight but at least we got a seat. Food was sensational. I had the calamari entree and went with the flounder which was delicious. There was a good wine menu that kept the table happy and service was good. I was impressed by the look of the seafood and beef pies on offer. Chunky thick and delicious looking pastry.

I've been wanting to come here for ages, and it was well worth the wait.

We had a fantastic seat in a corner booth and could appreciate the architecture, design and ambience of this space. It reminds me of a Tom Dixon designed restaurant we loved in London.

The food was great, and we tried a lot across the three do us...
So we had both of the Brazilian pastries - I would definitely go for the beef one again!
We had the chorizo and the morcilla sausages and the morcilla was as good as San Telmo! But so much closer to home!!!
Pan fried Provolone which my Italian husband loves. I don't think I've ever had it fried before and it works!
I am keen to try the prawn cocktail now retro!
Mains
We shared all our dishes which was great with so many options to try.
Ok the beef Wellington is divine -and could have easily eaten one to myself but it was easily shared across the three of us.
We also ordered the Niçoise salad which was beautifully cooked (rare) tuna.
The 6 jumbo prawns...
Chips and their mac and cheese. Our American guest wasn't too happy with that.

We left very full indeed and enjoyed a couple of their cocktails too. The smoking negroni was pure theatre at the table. My dirty martini was perfectly dirty too! We also enjoyed a lovely Tasmanian Pinot Noir.

All up walking away for under $450, so great value for the quality of the food and atmosphere on offer here.

What really made our evening was the fantastic service! Our waiter Pedro from the moment we arrived, was perfectly attentive and happy to guide us through the menu and make some suggestions too.

As a local, we will be back and look forward to a repeat of a great evening, and we can't wait for summer to enjoy the outdoor space.

Thanks Pedro for being together a wonderful night!

They have recreated the ambience to be very swish, the staff were friendly and helpful. There was a few people on training and it seems they are slowly catching up the Rhythm as there were teething issues like not having enough Vegan burger ( the staff were nice about it ) for the night for one of us and we had to go elsewhere eventually. Drinks menu was good and there are a few different atmosphere to explore. Hoping to have some great food and improve this review next time :)

Thank you for the exceptional experience - everything was perfect. From the lovely birthday greeting on arrival, to the super comfy booth, attentive service and truly delicious food, we had a wonerful lunch. It's been a long time since I've struggled to decide between menu items but there was so much temptation on every page. Everyone loved their meals. For me, the Beef Wellington was exceptional - flaky pastry, tender beef and very generous portion size. Can't wait to visit again.

Have a great dinner at The Kingston last night. I've booked Maple&Pearls for the BD celebration. I was very impressed with the service and food. I will be back again for the next celebration.

It's been a while since we dined at the Kingston and it was always enjoyable. The "new" Kingston after extensive renovation delivers three excellent spaces with great attention to quality fit out that provides a relaxed character and atmosphere to each space. We had lunch in Marble & Pearl, a refined dining room with a focus on Australian beef and local seafood, all cooked on a parilla charcoal grill.
Even though it was the official opening day and finishing touches were still being applied, the service from the staff was attentive and friendly, and we were well looked after by Renata.
The miso glazed marrow bone was excellent, as was the panko-crumbed John Dory. The retro prawn cocktail was nice but would have benefited from more prawn meat. The 300g O'Connor's hanger steak from the parilla had a great depth of flavour and was served with house-made green and a red chimichurri on the side
The wine list is well curated to match the food on offer and caters to a range of budgets. Will be back.

Nice pub tucked away in a quiet street.

Waiter mixed up our order and added an extra item. After delivering and clarifying we didn't order it he said to get a refund on the way out and left at the table, . Clearly said our mistake you can have it if you want. On the way out was refused a refund even thou we didn't want it?

Great food and friendly staff.

Nice outdoor area and vibe. Prices are fine. Ran out of bitters... which was kinda weird for a bar.

Love the courtyard vibes.
