Times Berwick — Restaurant in Melbourne

3/5 – Overhyped for a Culinary Experience, but Great Service. I was really excited to try Time Restaurant after reading so many positive reviews. It’s presented as a place that offers a refined culinary experience, so I had high expectations especially for the desserts. Unfortunately, if you’re someone who really appreciates well executed, flavor forward dishes, it may not fully deliver. We ordered the crème brûlée and sticky date pudding. While both were pleasant enough to eat, they lacked the depth and quality that elevate a dessert into something memorable. The crème brûlée should ideally have a rich, velvety custard base infused with fresh vanilla bean, topped with a thin, crisp layer of caramelized sugar that cracks perfectly when tapped. What we received was okay but fell flat in flavor and texture it honestly reminded me of a store bought version. Not offensive, but far from exceptional. The sticky date pudding is usually a moist, dense pudding with deep date flavor, served warm with a luscious toffee sauce and quality ice cream or cream. Instead, this one felt more like a basic reheated cake with some sauce and a scoop of ice-cream. Again not terrible, but lacking that wow factor I’ve experienced at other restaurants. The positives: Customer service was genuinely great attentive and friendly. The food being served to nearby tables looked good, and those guests seemed to be enjoying their meals. However, we were seated upstairs and the tables were so close together that it was loud and lacked any sense of privacy. It was hard not to hear every word of the tables next to us. Overall, if you’re just after a nice, casual meal with safe flavors, Time Restaurant might suit your taste. But if you're looking for a standout culinary experience or something to impress a more refined palate, you might walk away a little underwhelmed especially when it...

We came on the weekend and had really high expectations after reading through the reviews however found it to be a bit of a hit and miss. The entree squid was perfection, I could eat 10 more. My gnocchi was incredible however my partners t-bone was so chewy and average maybe even below compared to other pubs in the area. However the atmosphere is very underwhelming which really declines the whole experience. The staff are so sweet but I felt really uncomfortable after we were approached 3 minutes into our food arriving and asked how everything is while I have a mouth full of food. I think this question should be asked after the meal, if there is an issue with the food it should be up to the customer to arise the issue. She didn’t do it rudely she was so lovely but it was just off putting. After I finished my meal almost immediately my plate and cutlery was collected however I was still eating the sides we had ordered. I wasn’t asked are you done, it was grabbing the cutlery at the same time saying I’ll take this for you and I was in shock I didn’t say anything. I had literally just finished eating and it was swiped making me feel rushed to get out. Again she was not rude, extremely lovely maybe just unaware at how this could come across . I think the price is slightly steep especially for the quality of steak we had but also for the atmosphere. The atmosphere unfortunately is enough for me to not return for in dining. We paid $220 and felt uncomfortable and overwhelmed once the food had arrived and being approached so early on to then feeling rushed and not being able to finish off the sides. I think we were there for maybe 50mins compared to usually relaxing and enjoying our dinner for a longer period especially when paying a higher price. Definitely has a lot of potential and if you do attend here I highly recommend...

Have been coming to this place few times now.

We went here for my birthday with my family. 12 of us and from start we had a phone call the same day to confirm the table and time. First tick.

On arrival they had given us a special table in the corner where we can enjoy our time and have the kids do their stuff so no one else gets disturbed. For the kids we offered coloring books and pencils.

We were pleased to see our usual team there who had served us prior as well. We were happy she was looking after our table and she instantly welcomed us with a warm smile.

Entrees was great. Main was very well cooked (steaks, duck) and my seafood linguine had plenty of flavor going through it. Of course I asked for extra chilly on the side which gave it extra kick.

Brining my in laws here and getting their tick of approval as well was not something that happens a lot.

We had one of the owners "Prem" come up and greet me for my birthday and check up on us regarding the service and food. I was on my 3-4 wine glass. Prem came up and offered me another glass of sangovese on the house.

Being in sales i know how important customer service is and this joint ticked all the boxes. Service- Tick Food- Tick Ambience- Tick Customer service- Big Tick

Came came out that my wife had brought and all came out singing "Happy birthday" music playing the birthday song across the restaurant. These things they didn't have to do it for me but these small things adds up in terms of experience.

We were all greeted out from both the owners at the end. Head chef, wait staff. Made our night and a memory to take back.

Below are some photos of the food. Couldn't get all the items as i was too busy just polishing it.. Keep up the good work team.

Prem you have a good place and a good team. Keep it up and we will see you around...
