I chose this restaurant because it is a high-ranked one. The price is higher and thus I would expect more. I ordered a ginger olive platter for 2 persons so I can try a variety of foods. The prawns and fish are good. However, the ‘slow cooked’ beef is not up to the standard and it is really tough and we can’t finish. The BBQ chicken is thin and dry and the pork is so so. In general, the service is good, but the seat arrangement is not generous for those with some bags (even it is only 30-40% occupied) The environment is quite noisy and the seats are slightly close.

Decided to dine here after reading the rave reviews. Very nice restaurant in Manchester Lane, good lay out with outdoor dining. The service was great, good variety of dishes to choose from - being a lover of eggplant I thought I’d try the eggplant dish, I was a very disappointed as I found a very very thin layer of eggplant surrounded by a very very thick layer of overcooked bread crumbs, could hardly see or taste the eggplant at all, nonetheless the curry sauce & veggies served alongside were good. My husband had the reef & beef which he thought - the beef rib was a little tough, barramundi was dry, average battered prawns with a regular salad, definitely not worth the price we paid. Lovely atmosphere!

Great BBQ and well suited for a nice occasion. The ginger olive platter was fantastic, especially the succulent slow cooked beef rib, and nothing disappointed. The mango and strawberry romanoff was nice and light in flavour, not too sweet. Although it was an amazing dining experience, nothing stood out well enough to make it memorable. Expect to spend ~$60 per person.

I was expecting more and found the food not up to the standard I was expecting. We both ordered steak (Porterhouse and Fillet) with one being rare and the other medium. The rare was medium and the medium well-done. For the price we found them chewy and a little tough. The starter was nice and the best thing was the tomato relish with the steak. The saving grace for us was the service where they were always ready to please and make sure you are happy. With so many restaurants in Melbourne would I eat here again. Maybe not.

A nice and cosy restaurant run by a family. Service was exceptional and professional. The seafood platter was generous with many sea food varieties and well presented. Had the wagyu steak, which was OK. The dessert platter, which has a variety of options that suited us very well, was a stand out. Well done to the Ginger Olive team.

This is the only restaurant i visited twice during my 7 days holiday in Melbourne. The owner and staff are very friendly. The 1st time we ordered Seafood Linguine, Chicken, mushroom & Pancetta Luguine, BBQ free range chicken and BBQ baby black pork ribs for dinner. The ribs are very good. the children love the cheesy chicken mushroom linguine. the sea food linguine serving is generous. The 2nd time we went for luch and tried seafood Linguine in olive oil based and the original cream based, salmon and barramundi. Also got the sweet ending platter. Both the fish is very good, there is no smell at all. Simply put it, i dont need to use the lemon. the dessert platter is fanastic (just look at the foto. i highly revoomend it.

Lady boss was very nice to put us indoors though we did not make a reservation, it was a cold night and she was very accommodating. The camaraderie amongst service crew was great, they were energetic, prompt and full of smiles. Food was great especially the slow-roasted beef ribs, you won’t need a knife to cut the piece up, effortless and melts in your mouth. For first timers, try the ginger olive platter for 2. Sweet potato fries are a must have and if u have space for more, go for the deserts! Will be back again! 🤩
