AI Summary

St Kilda's beachfront institution - polished modern Australian seafood with sweeping bay views and old-school white-linen service.

Refined but relaxed beachfront fine dining - fireplaces and sofas inside, floor-to-ceiling views of St Kilda beach, and a room that suits everything from a quiet lunch to a big celebration.

Private dining rooms overlooking the beach for celebrations, a kids' lounge area for families, an extensive wine list, and a kitchen well-versed in gluten-free and other dietary accommodations.

A modern Australian seafood kitchen rather than tied to one national cuisine; reviewers highlight its long-standing reputation as a Melbourne dining institution.

Firmly in the expensive bracket - reviewers acknowledge the premium pricing (and steep wine and cocktail mark-ups) but mostly judge it worth it for the occasion, food and location; a minority found smaller dishes overpriced.
