    From the minute we walked in we were greeted and served politely, we were taken to our table within a minute , unhappy with our seat they were more than accommodating and offered a bigger table easily. The food was amazing our waiter was a tall guy with blond hair and he was very polite and professional made us feel every comfortable and was very well knowledgeable about the food menu and the drinks menu aswell. Was a great night. The service was high quality until me left. Very happy and will definitely return.

    We went expecting something nice and got far more. Wonderful ambience, delicious food, and a cheerful hostess, Julia. Everyone was nice. We ordered cured kingfish, seafood linguine, gnocchi, fish of the day, sorbeto and gelato. Every bite has kept me reeling even now. And without a doubt the beat bread and chips on the side Exquisite Exquisite Exquisite!!!

    A good night Food was great I would try and improve lighting as it was a tad too dark. Just marginal so I’m being picky. Not sure round tables work as it felt a bit cramped

    Not bad, but not truly great and not value for money in my view. Charging $28 for a bottle of sparkling mineral water is not reasonable, to be fair. The John Dory was tough and dry, which was disappointing at $60 for the plate to say the least. And no beetroot in sight despite what we were told. Service was good, but I would not recommend the place. Sorry.

    Cecconi's -- More like a Pub environment. Very disappointing and I'm not being nasty. I first met Olympia and Anna thirty-five years ago at St. Kilda so there is every reason not to give Cecconi's a bad report. I know you can't help how patron's behalf but a table of six next to us should have been at a Pub. If Toorak is run on the same lines, it will "FAIL".

    It was my 55th Bday. The venue was amazing. The waiting staff were brilliant with a flash of flair. Price was really great. The food was also sensational but was a little surprised with the small broccoli piece and potato. Steak was divine. I loved the Red Wine Jus and my partner Robyn loved her Brisket. The share plate dessert (Pavlova) was beautiful and thanks for the scribbed plate "Happy Birthday" with candle was cute. Overall 10/10.

    Outstanding service provided from the moment we walked in the door, till we paid the bill. One member had some specific dietary requirements and the help she received was better than any other restaurant she has been to in the world. Food was delicious and portioned correctly. Will definitely be back .

    Entrees and deserts were very good, mains were dissapointing, bbq prawns consisted of 6 king prawns only, barely any sauce, and a crumbed veal with NO sauce! Listen to Manu! We had to request sauce, why didn't they propose sauce options when ordering. Lamb barely no sauce! Sauce! Sauce!
