Pretty good service which I think is their only high point. The food is not horrible. It is tasty however considering the price point and in comparison to the other restaurants along the Viaduct, this would definitely not be my first choice. The food is perhaps a bit over average - if that is not too far fetched. I can see plenty of positive reviews which do not surprise me too much because I guess they have not taken into consideration the better alternatives nearby or may not be aware of them. However from my dining experience, I think this place is not amazing.
Stars aligned last week; my work provided me a breakfast and a dinner at Mecca. Coming to the same place happened to be coincidental, however I'm glad it worked out this way. I'm going to focus this review on dinner because I stayed longer and two courses. I must disclose this was for my office Christmas party so I didn't pay a dime.
Photographic views of the viaduct Harbour and a short walk from CBD make the location of this restaurant prime. Parking can be tricky in the peak hours, but it's easy if you're prepared to pay.
The restaurant was jam packed when I arrived, but the waiters and waitresses weren't flustered at all. I received smiles, drink offerings, and good manners throughout the entire evening.
The night started off with cocktail style nibbles, and drinks. The fried calamari circling around tasted very fresh and the batter was perfectly crisp. When it came time to sit down and eat, we all had a chicken, fish, and lamb option to select.
Myself and the majority of other males decided to order the lamb option. This turned out to be a wise choice. I was super impressed at how fast the food came out, it took less than 20 minutes and at least 100 people were squeezed into the restaurant.
The lamb turned out to be a shank which was the definition of tender; a knife was not needed as the meat simply slid off the bone. It tasted slow cooked as the flavorings were embedded into the deepest portions of the shank.
The size of the main was generous and the overall taste was impeccable. I and many others were deeply satisfied and depressed when we had to take that final mouthful of lamb.
I can't wait to be back here again. Despite a packed restaurant I left feeling deeply taken care of. My head was sore the next morning thanks to Stella Artois being on the bosses credit card, but my stomach was equally in bliss.
Wow! The food here is outstanding!! So impressed. Delicious! My husband and I had white bait fritters for entree, yum yum! Main my husband had steak. Yum.
