Jazz Corner Restaurant and Bar — Restaurant in Melbourne

This place feels otherworldly. You step in, soft jazz meets your ears. A friendly voice perks up: “can I help you?”. You turn to see a desk with a small person behind it that you’d somehow completely missed. You accept her help and ask where you can place your order.

Our glasses were dirty so we requested clean glasses but instead got glasses that were only slightly less dirty. chicken risotto wasn't bad but it wasn't particularly impressive. My wife had a salad which again wasn't bad but it wasn't great.

Half the items we wanted to eat weren't available including pizza and was our second choice. (Our first choice was their other restaurant which was closed for the season but we weren't told of that until we tried to order the food and discovered that Bird Basement was...
