Before even receiving menus our party was reminded 7 (yes seven!) times we had a two-hour window for our dinner sitting by every staff member from host to sommelier to server. Awful experience with an international restaurant owner in our party speechless at Australian service and an embarrassing experience for a proud St Kilda local wanting to show off a reputedly great dining destination. I wanted to hide under the table but the staff probably would have harangued me from there!

I won't even bother reviewing the food which, when eaten under staring eyes, tasted worse by the minute.
