My wife took me on the lunchtime cruise and it was fantastic! The food, drink and the service was impeccable and what a wonderful way to relax for a couple of hours! If you remember Melbournes great Tram Car restaurant this trip along the Yarra rivalled it - and I can give no higher praise than that! Well worth it - a real gem!

Menu was good and courses were spread out during the cruise.. Good ambiance on the boat. Yarra River near Melbourne at night was good to see.

Dinner and the dinner service were very good. I think we expected a little narration about what we were seeing along the river. Without the explanation of what we were seeing we could have had a lovely dinner at any of the restaurants along the water.

A Fantastic night (yes, capital F). Staff were attentive and lovely. Food quality and presentation was excellent. There was even fireworks at the end - I don't think that was necessarily part of the cruise, but hey, you get the credit for it anyway ... ; ) Thanks Team! See you next time.

Food and drinks were good. Not a lot to see once outside main city area. I have nothing else to say but have a minimum of 100 characters

Amazing experience, the dinner was the best we've had in Melbourne. The team was friendly, professional, and had a good sense of humour. Highly recommended!

Well worth going on this trip. The 4 course meal was excellent and there was a pause between each course which was very good. No rushing onto the next course. The cruise was also very pleasant and to see Melbourne with all the different buildings and bridges lit up was breathtaking.
