Reviews
"the main reason I have given a low star rating is the food, the price you pay to what you get is not great, the porterhouse steak I had was over cooked (almost fully cooked) it should have been medium rare also the quality was poor for the meat. the other people with me also said the same thing. the staff was okay and the atmosphere was good at the time, the only thing I would say is, make sure you get what you ask for and if you're not happy tell the staff in a nice way. other than that place was very nice."
"From the moment you open the door with the crystal door knob, Advocate is simply stunning. We enjoyed the most amazing 9 course degustation meal in the gorgeous library garden. We required gluten free option and chef accommodated. (A large number of GF options already availabe) Mocktails were also amazing. Overall, outstanding atmosphere. Super friendly owner and staff, would highly recommend!!"
"I have had the best Lasagna in my life at The Advocate. I also highly recommend their duck bao and vanilla pannacotta!!! This is definitely a must-check-out restaurant in Melbourne! BTW, their service and atmosphere are also first-class! If I must say something that needs to be improved, I guess if the time between the courses can be shortened that would be perfect!"
"We went to celebrate burthday, had a nine course meal, and few drinks. Everything is amazing. We were halfway through our courses, and we forgot to mention we dont eat beef. Staff there were awesome, and the chef replaced the beef item with salmon."
"Been to Advocate a couple of times and not once was I disappointed with the service. The courtyard/ garden area has such a lovely vibe especially in the evenings. Some food items may be smaller for the price but the flavour is great! And the prices for their cocktails are very reasonable as well for evening service."
