Loved the menu choice - so many amazing and tasty options - what to choose? They have you covered - you can choose either 4 or 5 plates to share - they charge per person. Thinking these are just tasting plates and you will leave hungry - think again. Generous portions. Excellent cocktails to go with the food. Every dish was well prepared and a tastebud delight. Also a shout out to the waiting staff, unfortunately did not get their names - they were excellent and added to create an awesome dining experience. Highly recommend booking and sitting outside - outdoor cafe style
RPS was the highlight meal of our last trip to Melbourne back in 2016. However, we were quite disappointed on this return. The menu, ingredients and taste are no where near our last visit. The food is not bad, but nothing to write home about either. I used to recommend others this restaurant is must try, but I’ll no longer do that. Also mentioned celebration for anniversary during reservations, but the restaurant did nothing at all about it, not sure why they even bother to ask.
Stunning Asian fusion food with great flavours. Great service - friendly and professional. Catered well for dietary requirements.
We enjoyed really delicious food from the 5 dishes sharing option - great to be able to choose which dishes we wanted (the smoked broccoli salad was particularly tasty). There was also a great choice of drinks (including non-alcoholic options). We enjoyed attentive service too - probably the only downside from outside is the view of the carpark!
