The Main Corner — Restaurant in Melbourne

This restaurant was highly recommended to us and we really wanted to enjoy it but left feeling very disappointed. We made a reservation and were the first diners to arrive for dinner that evening. We placed our order for 2 entrees and 2 mains promptly following recommendations from our lovely waitress and were looking forward to our meals. It all went downhill from there. A table of 4 arrived shortly after we placed our order and got their entree well before us. A bit strange but no matter. Happy to wait. One of our entrees came followed by one of our mains. When we enquired about the other entree the waiter was very confused as he did not take our order. The entree eventually came but our other main did not. When we enquired again, the waitress explained there had been a mix up and it was missed. Our steamed rice was cold by the time our second main, the curry, came so it didn't taste very good. The waitress was very apologetic but did not try to remedy the situation in any way (e.g provide fresh rice to go with our curry as a result of their mistake). When you are paying $20 for an entree and $38 for a main you expect excellent food and service. The food, when it eventually came, was actually really tasty and had great flavours but waiting over 2 hours for 2 entrees and 2 mains greatly tainted the experience. We left feeling very disappointed with...

My family and I had the set meal for dinner and it was AMAZING!! Each dish was made with tender love and care, and it definitely showed on each plate. With generous servings and very reasonable pricing, we will DEFINITELY BE BACK. The duck taco was a perfect blend of Asian flavours with a western spin, and the duck was juicy and succulent. The prawn and scallop came out steaming hot and was perfect for a cold winter night. The fried calamari was crunchy and was paired with a tasty sauce on the side. The pork belly bao buns were soft and delicious, with a generous piece of pork belly. The tempura prawns were fried to perfection and super tasty. And last but not least, we received a super generous serving of pork ribs that melted off the bone, and was paired with a refreshing coleslaw salad. Overall it was an amazing experience and we were left...

We were accomodated late afternoon even though the kitchen had closed. Thank you. We opted for a variety of entrees instead of the special seafood platter, which seemed very inticing. Service was quick and friendly. Dishes were delightful. Flavoursome, well presented and ample. Standout was the softshell crab sliders, you need not share these as we foolishly tried to do, they were off the hook. Calamari delicately fried paired with a serve of slaw and garnish. Special ocean trout was not to everyone's taste, but that's personal preference. Gyozas authentic. Duck spring roll yummo. Chips perfect. Our only lament was we didnt get there earlier...
