They have a great take-away menu for seafood (the main restaurant in Barkly street is an institution). You can eat in too. Some of the best seafood in Melbourne and pretty reasonably priced. If you're a wine buff, talk to the resident Wine Witch and purchase a wonderful glass of a special Australian wine you won't likely find elsewhere.
