The Mint — Restaurant in Melbourne

I am extremely disappointed with my experience at the mint tonight. On every other occasion I have had a great time but tonight my friends and I arrived, . A young bartender came out to serve us drinks and he accidentally spilled an entire glass of beer and 2 white wines all over me . All of our drinks were spilt in the process. I understand this was a mistake but the staff after did not even offer us another drink? My understanding is that the normal process would be to at least offer us our drinks that were spilled all over me for free lol? is the common practice to spill drinks all over a customer then act like it’s their fault? So I go inside smelling revolting and humiliated and kindly request they rectify the situation and offer us drinks. She asks me if I want the manager; I say no it’s ok I understand it’s a mistake and I don’t want to get the boy in trouble but I just want our table to be handled. They eventually agree to offer us drinks (again humiliating when I’m the one who is soaked and smelling horrible) but the lady comes out outside and just slams the drinks on the table and walks away. I was left very disappointed, In fact disgusting at their entire temperament following this even though we continued to stay there and ordered food and more...

After giving the Mint another go for a lunch - I'm not in a hurry to head back. Despite the bar being empty of any customers 2 of us couldn't order food inside and pay separately, we had to wait at the table. Eventually flagged someone down who then didn't want to take our order because we had 2 people who were potentially turning up later. She was being pretty insistent we had to wait for them until I refused. She was suggesting it was too hard if we ordered separately, in which case letting us order and pay inside would have simplified things surely. She then got really snidey when later only one person of the two wanted to order food. After all that the parma was really ordinary but it was one of the cheapest things (approx $22) on their overpriced menu!! Their wine of the month had run out and when the barman offered me a replacement when I asked if it had a similar taste he laughed and then said he wouldn't have a clue. To his credit he did let me try it. Shame he didn't have good knowledge of what was on offer though. The only thing going for the place today was their shaded outdoor courtyard, although that was ruined for...

Recently hosted a dinner for about 40 ppl and I have to say am very impressed and the guests had a great time! It is the right place if you are thinking about functions.

The staff was very friendly and professional and they delivered everything according to the plan. I already love the the garden feel and the staff put white linens and barriers and just made the dining area so cozy and beautiful! There was no single mistake with the food or drinks delivered and they kept on checking on us.

The weather wasn't so pleasant as it was pouring, But with the heaters and lights were on it creates a special atmosphere and I felt it couldn't be more perfect. I didn't try the food before booking this place but apparently my guests likeDthe foodespecially those who ordered steak. The salmon I ordered however is a bit blend but I guess I was way too excited to taste anything anyway! I only had 2 options to choose from the dessert menu which is a bit limited.

Overall we all had a great time. This place is just fantastic THANK YOU for making a memorable night for us!...
