Mr Lawrence - Melbourne

Came here on a Friday night for dinner and was seated upstairs that had a nice view of the ocean. Friendly service as we ordered the squid which was delicious, the falafel which was decent, the haloumi which was a little too over cooked and sweet tasting and the beef sujok pizza that was amazing. I tried the sumac infused cocktail which had a kick to it for those who want something a little stronger On Mondays they have their $10 pizza nights which is something we would definitely come back for.

The lamb serving was small, and the tomato mograbieh pasta balls were bland, similar to what you find in a tin of baked beans. The combination of the sauce and lamb did not work well, but the lamb itself was delicious. The dish was saved by the labneh served with the potatoes and pilaf that came with the chicken. For dessert, I had a messy Moroccan dessert and a sticky date pudding. The messy dessert was a pile of meringue, berry compote, and cream with rose water-flavored floss on top, a bit too sweet and wet. The pudding was good with proper moisture and sauce, though it could have been warmer when served. Although I made a booking, it wasn't on their system, but there were plenty of tables available. The service was friendly and attentive. Overall, the serving sizes were a bit small for the price, but the flavors were good. There were limited gluten-free options for the main dishes. I would rate my experience as a 3.5 out of 5.

Great location. Good service. Pretty good tapas. Slightly pricey, but reasonable sized tapas meals. Would highly recommend this place if you’re after a dining option with a view.

6 of us had dinner on Saturday night and we all really enjoyed it.
