The Dove Iii - Melbourne

This is a consistently good place for a nice lunch. Four of us went on March 20. Kudos to the restaurant for providing a basket of bread to the table. The bread is fresh-baked, plentiful and irresistible. We ordered glasses of wine. The various house wines are good quality and come with a generous pour. Two of us had one of the specials fresh Atlantic flounder Francese-style with rice and it was absolutely superb. Perfectly prepared fillets, light and flavorful. The others at our table had eggplant parmesan and lasagna and enjoyed both. Dinner-sized portions on both. The staff wrapped our leftover bread to take home and added several more pieces. What a considerate gesture.

We took are daughter here for her 21st birthday and enjoyed a memorable night! Great service, nice wine list, amazing food and yummy expresso martinis!

We have eaten at Dove III, on two separate occasions. So I judge a great restaurant by the quality of their pre dinner bread. And Dove is excellent. With bottles of great wine reasonably price for an upscale restaurant, fantastic soups, wonderful entrees. And did I mention that my wife and order one entree each, but because they are so large we have taken most to go with us each visit. The next days lunches are a joy. Deserts are wonderful. Oh and i started this review talking about bread. There is a box by the front door, and you can literally pop your head in, and grab a bag of same day fresh bread and take it with you for free if you wanted. It's just something they do for the community.

One of the best fine dining experiences. Food is fabulous..staff is wonderful, friendly and very attentive. We visit whenever we are in Melbourne.

I have lived and travelled overseas the majority of my life and have eaten in some very good restaurants. Dove 111, for my personal taste, ranks up with some of the best in the world. Food, staff, and comfortable atomsphere, ...excellent with a home town feel.
