Rockpool Bar & Grill ★★★☆

Image
Crown Entertainment Complex 8 Whiteman Street Southbank VIC 3006 Australia Rockpool Bar and Grill is one of the premium steakhouses in Melbourne and has been on my list to try for awhile now. As soon as you push through those heavy doors, everything seems a bit fancier. The place itself was what you expect from a fine dining establishment - not only comfy leather chairs, but also leather table tops. Although the place was well lit for lunch, the atmosphere was a bit subdued and intimate. Great for a romantic date. Probably wouldn’t come back. Dutch Cream Potatoes sautéed with Wagyu Fat, Garlic and Rosemary $12 Delicious potatoes with a super crispy coating. Once you get to the bottom of the bowl, that’s were all the good stuff is with all that fat and juice ★★★★ David Blackmore Dry Aged 12 Year Old Grass Fed Wagyu Blade 280g $49 Cape Grim Dry Aged 36 month old Grass Fed Rib Eye on the Bone 350g $60 The blade was cooked medium rare.

Babaganoush $12 with Sheep’s Milk Yoghurt, Paprika and Flat Bread Generous dollop of babanaous topped with a refreshing yoghurt.  MOST POPULAR! Loved the flavours of the oil too, it was almost caramel and sweet and in flavour. The flat bread was perfect for dipping, but also good on its own too. Would recommend! ★★★★ Kingfish Sashimi $18 with Avocado, Cucumber, Salmon Roe and Black Lime  Such a refreshing and palate cleansing dish. Love the combination of avocado, lime and cucumber! ★★★★ Toasted Manti $18 with Spiced Lamb, Garlic Yoghurt and Sumac
