The Wharf Hotel

Great location with stunning views of the Yarra and South Bank. Staff was very nice and service was quick. They have daily specials, at reasonable prices. Scored a Parmigiana with wine at $20! Food was prepared fresh to order and delicious with a good portion size. Highly recommend eating and drinking here! I’ll be back.

We went to The Wharf Hotel for their igloo dinner experience. It was a fun, intimate dinner where you shared snack/food platters and drinks with friends in a cosy (although freezing cold!) plastic igloo. It was beautifully decorated inside the igloo with fairy lights and modern decor, and the food platters that we ordered were surprisingly above expectations; pork belly was tender, chicken ribs were crispy, calamari was fresh. Service was friendly, although once you were inside the igloo it was so hard to get staff’s attention. Overall, very happy with our dinner experience.

We booked in a table for 7, to celebrate a special occasion and we were all excited, to celebrate with such a good view. We ordered drinks and food and to our surprise we found WORM in our salad which was ordered along with eggplant parma. We were so disgusted at the site of worm in our food and unfortunately few of our friends already had a few bite of salad.Cannot describe what we felt afterwards. We didn’t want to create a chaos, so we requested the staff to call the duty manager at our table. Manager came to our table, to address the situation. We explained him the whole situation and asked him if this happened any time or how this can be avoided in future. The reply we get, it is expected in this industry and the worm was found from lettuce, which might have not been washed. We do know, sometime things like this do happen, but what surprised us more was how at no stage the manager was unapologetic. Even though we were offered refund for the food served on the table, but this does not justify what happened to us, how it can be avoided in future and how we felt. The site of food disgusted us and we left from there. Despite of the location and lovely staff, we have to leave such a feedback due to the behaviour of the duty manager.

Came here for the Winter Wonderland experience on a Saturday afternoon. It was fifty something dollars a head and comes with 2 drinks per person and a decent amount of the food. The lowlight was definitely the fish, it was tiny as and would rather substitute for something else if they were going to serve such a tiny dish. The felafels were also pretty dry, wouldn’t eat that again. Everything else was so yummy though, especially the baked Brie. Overall, it was a fun experience, although I wouldn’t do it multiple times.
