Bolshi staff at beginning of night herding us into tables.
I had asked if it was ok to have drinks on balcony with another branch of our family who were dining separately.
Actually mentioned we may linger past the booked time. On the phone I was told no problem
The staff were extremely militant , weird when we are drinking their champagne etc.

Rest of night ok. We usually drink top shelf wine , however, if we are drinking still water we prefer from the tap. Excellent Melbourne drinking water and , most importantly, more sustainable- less wastage bottles etc.
We asked for a jug of water several times but the bottles kept coming. Really annoying.
Food ok, noisy.

Wouldn t recommend .
I m talking upstairs in formal restaurant.
Gorgeous position and view.
