53 South Wharf Promenade - Functions and Events

This place is awesome! The staff were excellent and the food was brilliant. Lots of choices but can definitely recommend the eye fillet, rosemary potatoes and fried cauliflower. Easy to get to with lots of parking nearby and they offer lots of dessert or you can take a short stroll after dinner along the water as there's lots of places to grab some dessert. Can get a little smoky inside as the steaks are cooked in the middle of the restaurant in front of you but it dissipates quickly. Excellent dining experience in a great spot!!!

Came here for the lunch special and left feeling disappointed and underwhelmed.The staff were friendly and helpful and the burger I ordered was nice enough but unfortunately that's where the positives end.My partner's steak was subpar quality. It was tough, chewy, full of gristle and difficult to cut through. I'd consider it inedible (and for a place that specialises in meat that's a pretty sad indictment).Won't be back in a hurry.

Nice patio seating option to enjoy the weather and a little people watching. Lemon pepper calamari was cooked and seasoned well. Steak was done right at medium rare and was tasty without extra sauces. Service was prompt and friendly. Pricing was a little steep for the quality and quantity of the food.

Came by for dinner as we had just come from the Southbank DFO. It is one of the many restaurants lining the river in this area. We had options of sitting inside or out, and we opted for in. The outside area was on the riverside so it is quite a nice place to eat if it's not too hot.Quite a few food options, both for meat eaters and non-meat eaters. I had the grilled corn and the halloumi skewers. We were seated next to the grill and it was nice watching the chefs grilling and then dressing the food. The food was tasty but thought it was on the pricey side. Unsurprisingly, it is suited for carnivores.

Honestly pretty overpriced for what you get. We visited for lunch and the place was not busy. The initial service was good and no real complaints here. Food wise it was very disappointing and then when coupled with the price it just makes it not worth it. I do not recommend their burgers, you could do better at home, in fact I'm pretty sure the buns they use are just the cheap tear away buns found at Coles. Other people I was with ordered the salmon and a steak both were ok but nothing that amazing. Overall I left disappointed in the food, when I looked at the menu and the prices I was expecting great tasting food but what we got was not anywhere near worth the cost.

We had the express lunch here but the grill here wasn't cooked well, it's mostly burned on the edges and turned out with a bitter taste. Even the chicken brisket of the appetizer as well. The Angus beef cheese burger are great.

It was a mixed bag for me.It started brilliantly with the starter of chicken and corn croquette. This was my first time eating a croquette, and it exceeded my expectations. The texture, the flavour, the presentation, all five stars.The mains were where things let me down. I had a medium well eye fillet. The steak itself was amazing, cooked to perfection, super tender, superb flavour. But the sides of onion and chips made the whole dish looked very cheap, especially the fact the chips were thin cut.My partner has a lamb rump. The lamb was a lot rawer than what we liked each to be. The sides were very salty. The only good thing about this dish was the portion, which was very generous.Thankfully the meal ended superbly with the Tiramisu. Perfect dessert to share for two, fantastic presentation, rich flavour.The service was also great, all the staffs were very friendly. I would have rated 4.5 stars overall if I can, but definitely not 5. So I can only give it a 4.

Food was very delicious, the definitely know their meats, many great strong flavours! Lunch prices can range from $20-30. Atmosphere of the place is wonderful​ as well as the décor. The place has an almost cosy feel to it even if it's part open with views of the Yarra.

Meat Market South Wharf is a great restaurant with stunning views of Melbourne.My meal was cooked to perfection and would easily get 5 stars with a few minor adjustments.The wagu burger patty had shrunk which made the burger look odd - flavour was on point".The fries were an interesting pairing as I was expecting something more rustic - the real odd part was the inclusion of a small bowl of tomato sauce. I would have expected a small selection of sauces to choose from but this did not happen when ordering.Apart from these minor flaws
