How we read reviews →A Victorian heritage mansion on St Kilda Road turned modern Chinese dining room and wedding venue.
A grand heritage house blending European architecture with a Chinese garden aesthetic, tranquil and near-silent when quiet, but noise amplifies quickly off the hard surfaces once tables fill.
Two distinct dining spaces. Estella House and the seasonal outdoor Willow Tree Garden. plus private event rooms for weddings and functions and seasonal set banquet menus.
Regional Chinese dishes presented through a modern lens, with genuine technique behind items like xiao long bao and Sichuan spicing, though a few reviewers flagged inconsistent execution on busier nights.
Premium pricing, with set banquet menus around $165-200 per person; reviewers split between calling it fair for the setting and quality, and others finding portions small for the price.
