our friend booked this place for a birthday lunch on sunday, after hearing great reviews about the places.

pros: fabulous location, beautiful views, and the layout of the restaurant is gorgeous. definitely a great place to host an event.

cons: the food! apart from the truffle fries which were delicious the rest of the meals was almost inedible (and we're not fussy)

the beetroot pasta was literally one of the worst dishes i've ever eaten. tasted pieces of rubber with no taste at all, i'm surprised chefs in the kitchen are okay with serving a dish like this. it really needs to be tasted by them or staff for some feedback.

the steak with cheese sauce was again really bad. steak was burnt from the outside but rare as in the middle. the cheese sauce which i was so excited about was bitter and did not taste like cheese at all. the potatos on the side were delicious but very very salty.

fried chicken was okay. more on the dry side but decent.

the highlight was probably the cake my friend bought from elsewhere.

for the pricing ($38 for the steak) i'd much rather spend a bit more/less and eat at neighbouring restaurants like soul or oyster and chop where you can get the same vibe with much better food.

saying that the venue is lovely and we really really hope your food improves because we'd definitely give it another shot.

dined here for a birthday dinner and the ambience and food was delicious! was nice to experience fine dining for once. this place knows how to cook up a storm and top their dishes with amazing sauces! the dishes included the kingfish sashimi (super fresh that it melted in your mouth), meat platter, pork & spiced carrot croquette, roasted butternut salad (can't stress enough how good the sauce was), fried chicken (crispy, but the meat itself could have been more juicy), wagyu short beef rib fillet (super tender, loved it), rolled porchetta, woodfired lamb rump and the woodfired eggplant. everything was so delicious, and the view facing the viaduct was a bonus! lovely staff as well!

we came there for advertised oyster happy hour. however they cancel their offer but didn't remove their advertisement.

view is amazing

what an amazing place, we were served by cameron who made us some excellent cocktails and was full of knowledge and conversation. the place was right on the water and had awesome views, again cameron recommended that we sit in the corner for the best view. we will be back.

said there was $1 oyster happy hour online and on zomato but when i went in they said they stopped 4 months ago.. :( went ahead with the order and it was still yummy though.

my viaduct fave.
i started coming here for the $1 oyster happy hour.
but stayed for the great food and amazing view.
their food menu isn’t large, but everything is delicious. i recommend going outside of your comfort zone and getting the bone marrow- it is out of this world! i’ve come here many a time and just demolished one by myself.
the pork crackling on the new winter 2019 menu is great and those little oyster mcmuffins - devine.
really highly recommend.
only bummer is you can’t book a table- so summer is super super busy and sometimes you can’t get in....

came here for my birthday on a friday night, didn’t have the option to reserve a table or make a booking so understood that i might not get a table. it was super busy and buzzing with people there for after work drinks! waiter was lovely & said we would need to wait, didn’t expect a table due to how busy it was but after buying a drink from the bar the waiter took us to our table. food is delicious!!! deep fried oyster is a must, as well as the chicken however the steak and cheese was a bit of a let down. overall i was very satisfied with the food and the service considering how busy it was. a bit hard to navigate through drunk, arrogant people who don’t want to make way however won’t let that stop me from coming back!

order chips, clam, fried chicken, woodfired chicken, broccoli. fish. price is reasonable. taste and look is excellent. overall the food r way too salty. recommend trying their woodfired dish. also with a nice view.

best restaurant in the viaduct with amazing food and a spectacular view and environment! you must must must get the fried oyster mcmuffins 😍🤤
12.5/10!!

my new favourite place in viaduct. went there on a monday night, group of 4 and i loved it.
the service was impeccable and food delicious.
i didn’t do the ordering and we shared plates but everything was top notch, especially some small bruschettas with ham and figs.
the thing i loved most as a non alcoholic lover is that i wasn’t having a hard alcohol selling from our waiter. he was happy just offering me tap water.
would go back soon and will upload photos of the place too because it was beautiful.

we came here for a 21st birthday dinner for 20 and ordered several small and large share plates and some sides: crispy pork crackling, smoked bone marrow, goats cheese, wood fired chicken, wood fired steak, and their potato chips.

the service was great, friendly and patient staff, and they offered to take my coat. i loved the warm and cosy surroundings, it was also overlooking the harbour, very pretty scenery.

the food was quite good. only the steak was a bit salty at times - may be uneven seasoning. the bone marrow also had a very slight stale aftertaste. however the chicken was tender and the crispy pork crackling was well seasoned and not at all oily, the cheese and mayo dip complemented the chips well, i loved the smokiness of the goats cheese.

would definitely come back and try out their other selections.

saint alice, a new and buzzing rooftop eatery/ dancefloor (they have a life dj) is a place to check out! the perfect place and menu for friends to meet up, share the plates around and enjoy a good atmosphere! the best of the best views of the viaduct and the new park hyatt, you'd want to stay until the evening sunset :) but get there early oyster happy hour ends at 5pm!
beautiful place, great service!

it was not the first time we’d been there, but this time we went for their $1 oysters! it was a shame that they couldn’t offer any bluffs that day, instead we got te kouma, which were still delicious! we ordered 3 dozens of those, some tua tua, cheese potato chips with truffle mayo, sourdough loaf with creamy butter, a bone marrow platter with two bottles of rose. we certainly enjoyed the food, the vibe and the view. it was a very pleasant saturday afternoon indeed. recommend this place even just for their happy hour oysters!

visited saint alice on a busy saturday night and the place was buzzing with good vibes. we had a table of 6 for drinks without a reservation and the view was amazing overlooking the viaduct basin.

our waitress was super nice, she gave us drink recommendations and assisted us with the menu.

the cocktails and drinks here are very reasonable with $10 espresso martini’s available too!!

we ordered the fries to go with our drinks, highly recommended.
