Arkibar

This was, by far, the stand-out of our Melbourne visit. It's a higher-quality restaurant, with meals of middling price right up to expensive, depending what you want to pick. The menu is limited but there seemed like a LOT of variety in the daily specials. We had a crumbed & stuffed olive entree (I don't really care much for olives but these were excellent!), then I opted for pasta (yum) and hubby had one of the daily specials - an amazingly tender and flavoursome swordfish dish that was quite possibly the best fish we've ever eaten. A large variety of beers and wines too, including some obscure imported ones for those that like to try something new. Not a huge wait for the meals, and impeccably stand-out table service to top things off. Suffice to say, I don't tip in Australian restaurants but I tipped here. Would recommend without hesitation.
