Miss Pickle 1971 Restaurant Point Cook — Restaurant in Melbourne

I have been before and this place was perfect! Unfortunately fathers day we went with a group of 10, on my recommendations.

Service was very slow (forgiveable as they were packed). Orders and drinks did not come in a timely manner. Children's meals came last. Tables were not cleared as needed.

Food was still as good a quality but the portion sizes were well smaller (by half) than what we have experienced in the past.

No sooner than having our desserts arrive we were asked if the could remove things from our table that were not required. (We agreed as that is what service should have been done anyway.) 3 people then attended to our table to strip it bare. Including my full drink, three times. (I was on water as I am forgoing all fluid except water as part of a fund raising challenge.)

We had been there 1 hour and 40 minutes. Kids do not eat fast, and their meals arrived last, We ordered our desserts before the plates had even been cleared. But they then stripped the table before the desserts had even been consumed. We then left.

We did not scrimp and our bill was quite hefty. Very disappointed that my favourite place made us feel very uncomfortable...

Headed down tonight for dinner with the family and I’ve heard a lot of positive feedback about miss pickle so I was very excited to check it out

Great set up and the table format is pretty good if anything it was very bright inside but the color scheme was good

Our waitress Molly was very friendly and professional, there was only two staff working out the front but at times they were under some pressure and probably could’ve used another person

The food was pretty traditional for Greek food and I had the lamb kafta with tzatziki for entree and the open souvlaki for main course

The lamb kafta had great flavor from the charcoals but I felt they were a little dry The open souvlaki was absolutely delicious it was a generous portion and was fresh and full of flavor I really enjoyed it

For dessert I had the galatoboreko which was very sweet with honey and lemon and had a hint of cinnamon and it was also a generous portion as well

Would I go back?? Yes I would it’s close to home and for a Greek feast I enjoyed it, I would like to try other dishes but what I had...

Been here a few times now and it has been great each time. Popped in this time for a belated birthday for my partner. We partook in the all you can eat night they have on Mon, Tues and Wed. There is a very good selection on offer from souvlaki meat and chicken skewers to salads and dips. All the food was lovely and full of flavour. I won't go through each item as the review will be able to be published into a short novel, we did however try most of the items. We then managed to squeeze in the Galaktoboureko dessert which was amazing along with a couple of lattes. All in all the food and service was great and we will be back. The only thing I would mention was the noise. There is no sound dampening in the venue at all so is very loud, even with only half the tables full. If you have a baby that still has sensative ears I would sit outside as ours, with his young sensative ears was not a happy chappy. Might I suggest if the venue reads this that you possibly invest in some sound dampening panels to help reduce the echoing. ....oh and bring a jacket as it's rather...
