Awesome! Fantastic service - they managed to fit us in without a booking on a busy night. Excellent food - pork belly , duck money bags, bean and potato wontons . And shock horror, yummy brussel spouts!

Seamstress claim to make Melbourne's greatest Martini . Go for olives over a twist and they'll come sitting on a little bed of ice in a beautiful Chinese teacup. Read more

Order what you like from the menu and ask the waiter to appropriately size up the portion to suit your party!! The roast duck is great, better than the tea smoked duck !!

Very special atmosphere with all the sewing stuff hanging around and the big window to the street. Smokers can stand outside and still drink their coffee .
