Fabulous lunch today. The menu is great, the food is beautifully presented and delicious with some unique combinations that all work, and the service is friendly and professional. The scallop entree was divine, and the roasted barramundi with chilli mayo, coriander, mint and avocado salsa was superb. A lunch to remember.

Back in Melbourne and had to have my Taxi room fix. Great as always. The food is simply spot on here. Always is. And the wine list is a truly great wine menu. If you can't find a wine here, then give up. Can't wait until I'm back in town again.

Went on a Sunday night; 2 people Food: entrees are almost main size; certainly they are main priced and it may've been better to have smaller entrees for cheaper prices. The same could be said for the mains. The quality of the food was below our expectations for a one hat restaurant; we don't dine out a lot however would...

Taxi, Ezard and Longrain are the best restaurants in the CBD. Jacques Raymonds is the best restaurant in Melbourne. I don't rate Vue De Monde apron any level. On this basis, Taxi offers a great dining room - tip ask for a table facing the station better in my view than those facing the river. All the food is fantastic,...

Our waiter was rude (never looking at us when talking to us), simply. The food was at best mediocre (too many flavors in one dish). When he asked us if we had enjoyed our meals, we said "not really", and the rudeness turned to quiet hostility (he never returned to our table and suddenly there was another waiter, just as...

ate there as part of melbourne food festival ,2 courses for $35 with a coffee and glass of wine. a bargain for what you would pay a'l'carte especially as they don't seem to scrimp on things to get down to a price. Buy a few drinks on top and they get their margin back. Nice service without being stuffy, and...

I tend to judge a restaurant on two key criteria... the food and the service, in that order! On both counts Taxi excelled. Just a note on the wines... We make the best fortifieds in the world right here in Victoria... some of you desserts would do justice to say a Chambers Rare... yes not cheap, but this would be...

Been here few times and will definitely come back again. This is definitely an experience you would have to have at least once when in Melbourne.

Being (continental) European and therefore used to very tasteful food in general we as foodies thought about going to Taxi Dining Room for the special food experience in Melbourne that we read in the comments before. Sorry to say so, but this restaurant was kind of a real disappointment! If it were only about the food I would say it's...

Great experience from start to finish. Mouth watering menu and everything was delicious once it was arrived. Waiters and sommeliers were very friendly and attentive, but not too intrusive. Loved it and would dine there again.
