4-course dinner and drinks on a Melbourne Yarra River cruise from Southbank. See glowing landmarks and enjoy wine, beer, spirits.
“Lucky to have window on lower deck would have been disappointed to be seated in the middle, and also if upstairs, but less so very happy with seating. Food was brilliant. Not overly fussed with entree choice, but other meals to follow made up for it . Maybe a small pasta choice? Service friendly and prompt. Didn’t drink much but very happy with what I had. Background music great. Maybe dim lights a fraction when dark to get a better view outside as a lot of reflection but seriously not a deal breaker . Loved it!! Will return. 🥰”
