Had a business dinner and was amazed at the restaurant. The food was excellent - the cheese mushroom souffle was elegant, the steak was perfectly cooked and the salmon was fresh and tasty. The wine list is wonderful - but as a sommelier, I can tell you the wine service was perfect. Normally I notice a few things that should... More

My husband and I went here on a Friday night pre theatre. A friendly waitress took us to our table and assured us we would be out well in time for our show. The restaurant was quite busy from about 6.30. The service was excellent, just the right amount of time between courses, removing salt and pepper at the end... More

Brilliant. Some of the nicest food we had in Melbourne. Between the four of us we had the 2 serves of the roast half Duck, the pie and the fish of the day. All were done beautifully - we wish we had bigger tummies so we could eat more. Great wines by the glass. We a very attentive waitress who... More

We visited The Deanery for dinner on Saturday, 28 April, 2012. We literally stumbled across The Deanery by accident and we are so glad that we did! We enjoyed dinner and lovely wine and had a fabulous time. My partner raved about the goat pasta - and when I say raved I mean that even now, days later I am... More

Set in a quiet lane off Flinders Lane, on the Southern Cross Staion side of Elizabeth St, it's actually hard to find, but well worth the visit. It's just another example fo the amazing offerings in the... More

This wine bar and resturant is nestled away in a laneway in the heart of the city, the wine list is comprehensive with some great value burgundies and other imported wines as well as the usual asutralian selection. The food was well prepared and executed and very reasonably priced. Service was good also, staff were not only pleasant but seemed... More

The Deanery is tucked away in an alley off Flinders Lane in the CBD of Melbourne, so we had never noticed it before attending a wine dinner. But we will be back, soon. The theme of the evening was to allow the person responsible for selecting the wines for The Deanery to showcase his favourites of the past few months.... More

We had often looked at this place but never eaten there before. It was a Monday night so not busy. Our fish was beautifully cooked and the dish light and fresh. One of the nicest meals I had in Melbourne - I enjoyed it much more than Flower Drum!! Would definitely go back.
