How we read reviews →Geelong's hatted laneway fine-diner pairing inventive modern Australian plates with exacting service.
Elegant hatted dining room tucked in a Geelong laneway, with a striking wine-bottle wall - refined but warm rather than stuffy.
Visible chef plating, a feature wine-bottle wall, birthday candle surprises on desserts, and reprinted allergy-specific menus prepared ahead of a booking.
No single heritage cuisine claimed - the kitchen applies modern Australian technique to a largely seafood-forward, seasonal menu.
Most diners call the hatted-quality cooking worth the price, though a few flagged the $89 three-course set and a $6.45 voucher purchase fee as steep for what arrived.
