Flour Child St Kilda — Restaurant in Melbourne

The venue is beautiful, with a lovely view over to Luna Park. The decor & furniture is of very nice quality. The drinks and food were good. The staff was helpful and knowledgeable. At least up until the point our booking time was up and we were yelled at to leave the venue straight away. Now, you can go about this by giving people warnings ahead of time (it didn't happen or at least not loud enough for our group to hear/acknowledge it). They let us all order a full round of drinks right before kicking us out, yelling and being rude about leaving the drinks behind or sculling them on the spot - why let people order more instead of telling them they have to leave in a few minutes - again there were chances for giving us heads up there. We felt really surprised by how the mood changed and we went from welcome guests to people who were just in the way from one minute to another. The table being booked for the next seating makes sense but please allow for some human movements e.g. people going to the bathroom, grabbing their things and getting up. We had a great time before this happened and being ordered out of there so abruptly ruined the whole experience for most of us. A lot of us have worked previously in hospitality and have a lot of understanding on how things can work - and that's just not it. Allow for more time by managing the bookings differently rather than losing a bunch of new customers who have had positive experiences at other venues offering a boozy brunch (for less money). As beautiful as the venue is and as much as most of the staff tried (not the person who yelled at us who we hadn't seen up until this point and had no idea who he was) we won't be back. I'm very disappointed for my friend who was celebrating her birthday and ended up apologizing for the...

Booked a table for 11 here and had so much fun! Food and drinks were decent and overall I believe my group had a time. Decorations were also super cute and the LEDs with the shelving worked great. We were seated in an isolated area (the first section you see when you walk in) which was fab.

The biggest issue we had was that the music was so insanely loud we had to shout to hear each other. The speaker was situated right in the crook of our little corner area so its projection was crazy and we could barely hear ourselves. We requested that staff turn the music down and they completely turned off our speaker which was really nice of them. But then I think they turned up the other speakers?? Not sure but I do remember after a while it just got super loud again. With a group of 11 as well it was not the best considering we wanted to talk to each other.

Staff gave decent service and brought things out quickly but they weren’t super attentive. They came to clear our plates but didn’t really check if we needed anything - such as a top up of water which honestly in a place that serves a variety of alcohol and for such a big group you’d think that staff would be more keen on distributing water and keeping people hydrated. We had to go up and find a server just to get some water refills. I understand that they were busy but we were one of their biggest groups there so it didn’t go unnoticed.

Probably won’t be coming back just because of those things. I think the vibe just wasn’t really what I was after in the end but I still had a lot of fun and for those looking for a restaurant with club music that serves decent food this is the...

I was recommended this spot and came here with a friend for bottomless brunch with high expectations on a hot Saturday. We were allowed in at exactly 5pm with a long queue of people, and were sit and served almost immediately. Staff were nice although not necessarily very attentive as it gets super crowded on weekends. I loved the atmosphere and decorations, and they have a little smoking area. Because of the table set up, it was difficult to enjoy our time due to such hot conditions, we were literally sweating the whole time and continuously moved in the table to avoid sunburning..music was quite loud too. moreover, as Italian I found the pizza underwhelming. It could be great to have the option of more variety rather than 2 large pinsas we couldn’t even finish to explore more tastes, as unfortunately we didn’t really liked one of the chosen (potato) while the carbonara was quite good. Cocktails jars were alright, and choice of wines rather ok. As a bottomless brunch regular, I don’t believe is worth the 90$ value. Finally, I’d appreciated it if we would ve been advised at least 10mins prior be literally kicked off at exactly 7pm in an absolute rush. Overall I don’t particularly recommend this place from this experience, but with the benefit of the doubt I may try to go again for regular meal and with a bigger group of people to increase...
