Grill americano reviews

Whenever Chris Lucas opens a restaurant on Flinders Lane, things tend to go pretty well, grill americano reviews. There was Chin Chin, which caused a tectonic shift — for a good few years at least — in the way that Melbourne restaurants looked and behaved.

That era? The long cavernous space on Flinders Lane is trimmed in navy and marble. A stunning bar overlooks the open kitchen — and the grill. You settle into thick comfy seating as Sinatra plays in the background. The dim lighting, waiters clad in white coats, the perfect styling from start to finish.

First impressions count, and Grill A m ericano delivers plenty of good ones. A produce-driven grill hanging at the Italian end of the steakhouse dial requires little explanation, bless it. There are arancini, miniaturised into crisp-crusted two-bite w ond ers , bedded in pea puree and showered in a tangy fluff of Reggiano. Little squares of fried polenta get their cacio e pepe on with a blizzard of parmesan and spicy aioli. And s tuffed with a farce of chicken, pork and veal, the fried green olives champion the " luxe nonna" category. The mantra of simplicity guides a menu long enough it should come with a trigger warning for the indecisive. And there's steak, of course.

Written by Larissa Dubecki Monday 2 May In the eating sweetish, delicately compelling it becomes a case of s tyle meeting substance.

So you thought they didn't make restaurants like this anymore? A splendid vision of terrazzo floors, royal-blue leather upholstery and a sweeping white marble bar twinkling with lamplight, Grill Americano brings retro glamour to its pursuit of produce-driven Italian perfection. There's a "hang the expense account" feel to it all, with white-jacketed waiters delivering Tuscan bistecca from the wood grill and scampi on saffron risotto. Mere mortals can paddle in the shallow end with the quotidian appeal of Bolognese-stuffed arancini, chilli-dusted octopus carpaccio drenched in fruity olive oil and velvety anchovies with puffy focaccia and green-olive butter. But why not splash out a little?

Was a little concerned about going to this restaurant based on all of the negative reviews but we ended up having a good dining experience. Service was friendly and timely. They have an exceptional wine list but it is crazy expensive. Loved the ambiance. This place is tricky to evaluate properly. I went here for my 60th Birthday and picked it due to a couple of good reviews.
