Hihou - Melbourne

The food was brilliant, service efficient, we had a great time, thank you!

Not the best food and it took a long time between courses, but the place has a good ambiance. I would come back for drinks.

I used to go here all the time and it was amazing. I booked for dinner at 7pm for my partners birthday and asked for a nice seat. When greeted the gentleman said we could sit anywhere we liked and didn’t receive my special request and when we sat down in the “4 people only” seat he said he would have to relocate us if 4 people come in. The whole restaurant was nearly empty. I said ok. The service was terrible and the staff could not understand what I was asking them nor give us recommendations. Poor/ no English. Our bill was 200 for two people -Food was very expensive for a below average experience.

The food and drinks over priced. One of the worst establishments that I’ve ever been to in Melbourne for the price. Service horrible, the waiter forgot the order. Too long to bring the food out. Edamame was brought out uncooked, unflavoured. Service standards compared to other venues was very low. Example: bringing water out in glasses. Instead, bring the glasses out and pour the water out of a nice vase.

I did not feel overly welcomed or comfortable when entering the premises. The place was quiet, and felt cold in terms of atmosphere (not temperature). We were not greeted with warm smiles which was the very first impression we got.
