Rich, succulent, juicy meat in southern US style that hit the spot. There were only three of us, and the waiter suggested the Smoker's Lot option, which gave us a great taste of brisket, sausage, chicken and pulled pork to share. If you're unsure of what to order, I'd heartily recommend going this way.

1806, the year that defined the Cocktail. Since its humble beginnings in 2007, 1806 has very quickly reached international recognition, winning the award for The Worlds Best Cocktail Menu in 2008. Since then it has become firmly steeped in the Melbourne c

I booked a whisky tasting for my husband's birthday. The tasting was done by our wonderful guide Yasmin, who took us through the very interesting history of whisky in the beautiful setting that is 1806. We enjoyed whisky samples paired with lovely food, and finished off with cocktails. I would definitely recommend this to anyone seeking something different.

The sour beer was interesting. The empanadas were yum. The interiors are pretty cool. From hearing about the place I kind of expected more but it was a perfectly fine quick snack and drink stop.

The 115 Grill & Brewhouse in Cotham Road, East Kew could be excellent. The venue, part of the Best Western Hotel, is attractive and well-designed, and parking is relatively easy â â a definite plus when it comes to booking dinner at hotels and restaurants these days. The menu is modern Australian/European, the food is nicely prepared and plated, but sadly neither innovative or exciting. Perhaps one of its best features is the fact that the tables are well spaced and the restaurant is uncrowded, so that we could hear ourselves think and talk. With those advantages one would think that we would want to come back again and again.But we won't! The management has seen to that! We had gone there for dinner some months earlier and at that stage had given up because of poor service, a strong feeling of management disinterest, a lack of service, and lacklustre menu choices and food taste. Revisiting this week has sadly demonstrated that nothing had changed.I ordered a chicken schnitzel which came with chips. My doctor doesn't like me eating chips, so I asked if I could have these changed to mashed potatoes which were on other dishes on the menu. The waitress went away and returned saying that the manager had told her that it was a policy to make no substitutions. I could leave the chips on the plate and order a side of mash, but that would be charged extra. I reluctantly agreed to that, and while my schnitzel looked attractive on the plate, the chicken tasted as if it had died of old age rather than at the abattoir â dry and tough. The other three in our party ordered fish and chips, and one guest, who'd had stomach surgery and was not allowed to eat big meals, asked if she could have the balance of the meal packed up to take away. Again a trip to the manager and again a negative reply â â the hotel hadn't applied for a takeaway license.While technically correct, this law is total nonsense and unofficially recognised as such throughout the industry. If a restaurant has a license to serve food and is inspected accordingly, the food should be of good quality and give no reason for not being taken away. We all know that takeaway restaurants are generally "cheap and cheerful", mainly Asian, or pizza pasta, and are very often not quite up to the hygienic and culinary standards of full-service restaurants, so if the authorities allow takeaway is there, they should certainly permit it in quality establishments. In any case, to overcome the problem legally, I understand that all the restaurant has to do is to give the diner a container or greaseproof food bag, and the diner can then pack up the food that he has paid for and which belongs to him.At the 115 Grill & Brewhouse, it seemed easier to refuse and make excuses than to make the slightest effort to please the customer.The service also left much to be desired. The waitresses were pleasant and helpful when placing the order and querying the management, but when it came to filling glasses or asking customers if they like their food or if there was anything else they wanted, such services were totally absent.When we eventually managed to catch a waitress' eye and asked for the bill, it's just as well that we looked at it, because we were being charged for an extra main course that we did not order or eat. To make matters worse, there was no effort by the manager to come over and give a reason for the error or to apologise. The girl simply brushed over this by bringing the new invoice to say that had been corrected. I always find it amazing that restaurants who do this never ever seem to leave off a main course or a charge. But there are far too many occasions where they charge for something neither ordered or supplied. Perhaps the managers were trained in the banking profession?I am handicapped and need two sticks to walk or stand, and when we had finished dinner and were ready to leave, waitresses were absent and luckily the diners at the adjoining table were kind enough to get my walking sticks. Just not good enough.As if just to finish the evening off in the same spirit as we had experienced from the time we came in, we had another debacle leaving the hotel. There are steep stairs in the front which I did not want to have to face again, so our guests offered to bring the car around to the back where there are no stairs, and then went to pick it up. By the time I got to the automatic glass doors, one of the hotel staff had locked these by remote control and we could not get out of the building until someone had been called to rectify the problem and unlock the automatic doors.There may be a lot of diners who are quite happy to undergo such a marathon on of blunders. But there are some wonderful restaurants in Kew that are outstanding and make for options that do not irritate.And this is why will not be going back to the 115 Grill & Brewhouse restaurant.

What would be a great spot to enjoy your night is felt extremely rushed and spoiled by their ridiculous time-limited (1.5 hour) seating. How they believe this is a good business model is beyond me. My partner and I were looking to order many food items as well as spend copious amounts on drinks, but this was not possible under their seating rules. Felt more like a âMaccaâsâ drive through than a proper establishment. Great cocktails, but expect to only have one and done. Food is subpar. Cheers.Hello Aronneramodirosa, Thank you for your feedback on your recent visit to Eau-de-Vie and sorry to hear you had an underwhelming experience. As a high volume cocktail bar we allow a 90minute seating time to ensure people can get into the venue without having to queue too long for a table. I feel that 90 mins is enough time to consume at least 3 cocktails and food from our al a carte menu. We would love to speak with you in more detail regarding your 1 star rating. Please feel free to email me at [email protected] if you would like to discuss further.

We're a friendly inner-suburban pub smack bang in the middle of Kew's High Street with comfy booths, a beer garden, sports bar and function spaces. We're a pub, so it's pub food we serve. We don't deny that. Our locals love sport, so we bring it to them w

The 3 of us were here 9 months ago, returned for lunch today. Fish of the day was Barramundi and was ok. Steak sandwich also nothing to rave about but the Vege Burger (at $21) sweet potato/chick pea/quinoa patty, with cos, tomato, tahini yoghurt was extremely dry and unappetising, hence 2/3rds went back. We did tell (and show) him when he collected our plates but it was still included in our bill. Once we went to the bar and pointed this out she did give us the $21 back but no apology, no smile.. too bad. Thank you for taking the time to share your review with us. We appreciate your feedback as it helps us identify the areas we can improve in. I was disappointed to learn of the shortcomings you experienced and have spoken to our staff to ensure this does happen again. Please contact reception as we would like to discuss this further with you.
