The staff were very welcoming and the atmosphere was lovely! We had the Tagliatelle con calamari e gamberi which was superb, fresh and full flavours. A capstone to our time in Melbourne. Thank you to the friendly staff and amazing chefs.
Overcharged bland food of tiny portions. ($29 for the gnocchi in the photo at lunch) The female manager was also very rude when asked to reconsider the $9 charge per table on sparkling water in their reusable bottles. No one ordered it on one of the two tables, and only 1 of 6 people on the other table was asked to choose between sparkling water and plain water without any mention of cost. Will not go again and do not recommend.
I’ve fallen in love this place. The outdoor area is lovely, and then walking in I thought wow, why has it taken me so long. Great good, staff lovely, wine all good and the pistachio tiramisu was sublime. Great place for a catch up lunch, not noisy.
Hands down one of the best dining experiences Melbourne has to offer, what a gem! Atmosphere is perfect, service impeccable, food.... shut up and take my money! Everything was amazing and Annie is the greatest! Must visit!
We had a fantastic experience at The Moat! The food was served piping hot and delicious, with a great variety of options ranging from vegetarian dishes to protein-packed meals. The happy hour between 4 and 6pm was amazing and gave us the perfect chance to relax before heading off to our evening event. The atmosphere was welcoming and the service attentive. We will definitely be back!
