Third Wave Cafe 181 Victoria Avenue, Albert Park, Victoria 3206

"Absolutely monstrous meal, and one of the few examples where Quantity and Quality both remained. Easily the best BBQ meat I've ever had and I'd be stoked to have it again if they ever come to NZ. The staff were absolutely fantastic, quick to serve us, quick to bring food out, polite and kind throughout. A genuine Easter Egg of food, and an absolute must try!"

"Food is okayish, good portions but the taste is not top notch. I don't like the menu because you can't edit it and drinks are expensive but not worth it. Corn bread was blend in taste and it wasn't cheesy even though we ordered cheesy and paid extra. Smoked ham and cheese was blend in taste, reuben sandwich was filled with pickles only ribs were good. Service is alright, not too good and not too bad. For this much expensive restaurant the toilet is unhygienic, it ran out of hand soap and no one give a thought about replacing it. 10% surcharge on a Saturday night is a bit too much. Sitting area is totally conjusted. People were bummed with each other and the stairs were slippery. It is running due to hype over social media otherwise if you're spending $400 for 4 people then you can find way better restaurants with better menu"

"Food was visually beautiful but a little underwhelming. We waited quite a while for our food and saw other tables who ordered after us (one even with the same dish as us) receive their food before us. When our food arrived the chips were cold, the cheese on the Mac & cheese had solidified and the other meats were just “warm”. The beef ribs was definitely the star of the show and the only meat we felt was juicy and tender. Ordered a couple of milk shakes, which were delicious, but not quite sure they were worth the $20 a shake or the Saturday surcharge and service charge added on top of our bill."
