AI Summary

South Melbourne Market's $2-oyster seafood institution, with live jazz most nights.

A buzzy, open-kitchen market eatery with live jazz piano or small bands most nights, tapas-bar-style indoor seating and heated outdoor tables spilling into South Melbourne Market.

An open kitchen, nightly live jazz and live-band sessions, a roving specials board carried table to table, and a fish-and-bread cart parked outside the main restaurant.

The menu spans Italian-style marinara and vongole pasta alongside Greek dishes and Asian sambal-spiced seafood, reflecting a market-eclectic rather than single-heritage tradition.

Reasonable for market-fresh seafood at $2 oysters, though several reviewers flag card and weekend surcharges and pasta or sides pushing the bill to $60-70+ a head.
