EMPIRE GRILL REVIEWS
Last night eight of us enjoyed the five course degustation experience at Empire Grill. The food was absolutely delicious and the matching wines with each course were perfect. Nicky and the staff provided impeccable service . We were lucky enough to be seated in the private room which made the experience even more special. We will definitely be back again. I can't recommend the E.G. enough.
We received this dinner voucher as a present - such a great gift idea! Thank you for a perfect anniversary dinner. Delicious food, beautiful wine, relaxing atmosphere and attentive service. Short walk into city centre. Highly recommend.
On a cold winter's night, a warm and welcoming open fire in a cosy bar was a great setting for pre and post-dinner drinks. The meal was magnificent with an excellent choice of meals for entrees, mains and sweets. Among us, we enjoyed the broad selection of steaks and the grilled salmon. The setting and service were excellent and the owner offered a complimentary drink at the end of the evening. Highly recommended.

RECESS BAR + EATS REVIEWS
The place is super nice!! The food and vibes are amazing! We had fried polenta and fried chicken (sooo nice, perfect crunchiness and not oily at all, full of flavour), then we had buttata and pesto gnocchi with beef cheek. For dessert golden syrup donut, amaretto ice cream and honeycomb….to dye for!!! Absolutely coming back when in Geelong!! Oh and don’t forget to pop upstairs for some great vibes.
Highly recommend eating here. Food was amazing . We did the bottom lunch with cocktails. Service was fantastic, continually they kept the cocktails coming. Great value. We all enjoyed the afternoon. We will be back
Perfect space for some sneaky cocktails, decadent baked brie or a delicious dinner. We always have a great experience at Recess- from dancing with Queens to a romantic dinner. Highly recommend.

EMERGE REVIEWS
We started of 4 entries oysters ,scollops,crocodile tail,and arancini gruyere cheese and pesto with aoloi sauce all we're fantastic. Then we both had steaks, with wedges and salad just great we'll be bact again. Also there was a good selection of great wins.
Every dish we ordered was outstanding. We ordered scallops, oysters, arancini, beef ribs, mushrooms, roasted carrots and pork belly. The desserts were just heavenly specially the sticky date pudding. Will definitely return and recommend to others.
Great food. Had the wagyu eye fillet. Maybe slightly under cooked but delicious. The sides are amazing, particularly the truffle mash. Make sure you book to avoid disappointment.
