Jimmy Watson's

There were 4 of us. We all loved our meals. The service was timely and helpful. The atmosphere was cosy and inviting

Excellent food as always, however the service was disappointing throughout the meal. Most unusual for this Carlton institution. Probably understaffing rather than the fault of staff on duty.

Everything was great. However they thought we were booked for 7:00 when your app clearly showed us at 6:00. But there was no problem with that as they were not busy.

Good food, nice wine by the glass and friendly staff. Very enjoyable

Love this place! Great food and service. We keep coming back.

My guests and I are somewhat deaf and where we were seated made it a little difficult to hear each other even though the general noise level was not very high.

Had a waiter (James) on his first day at the restaurant. He's definitely a keeper! Will be (is!) a decided asset to the restaurant.

Consistent good service in a relaxed atmosphere with great selections of wine and quality meals

Great food and exceptional service. Quick service and hot food arriving at the table not to mention great wines available. We will be back.

As always, excellent service from Nigel, Tom and Vera. The mozarella sticks are fabulous, duck paté excellent and the seafood linguine super-tasty.

From warm welcome by owner to excellent service of fine food and wine, it was a great experience. Highly recommended.

Lovely meal, great service and the usual great Jimmy Watsons atmosphere

The worst meal please don’t go there - had a bottle of sparkling that was rubbish and the food was awful - chicken parmigiana obviously just thawed from being frozen- chicken was watery and tasteless . The place is an absolute rip off . Charged us a service fee for terrible meal

Always a lovely spot in the courtyard on a warm sunny day. All the meals were amazing.

Food is always excellent here & today was no exception to that. We sat in courtyard & enjoyed a very pleasant occasion

Excellent as always. Polenta chips delicious, Carnivore pizza very good.

Jimmy Watson’s has held ‘the stand of time’ and one great place to dine, wine & enjoy great service & company 👍

Great to be back and see Alan Watson there! The barramundi was amazing !

Fantastic night. The food was really good, so was the service, and the venue is really lovely. Highly recommend

Have not been there for decades but nothing has changed. Amazing ambiance, food, wine and service. A Melbourne treasure when so much of quality in this city has been lost. Long may Jimmy Watson’s live.

A very pleasant experience! Great food with service to match. A fee drink to celebrate my birthday was a highlight of our visit.

Great service great wine and brilliant courtyard , well done gang

What a great family institution. Nigel, his dad , Mr Alan Watson, and team run an extraordinary hotel. A great tribute to the late Jimmy Watson. And, thankyou, Nigel, for choosing a delightful, little-known shiraz...much better than my choice.

Food and wine were both good, was not busy at restaurant when we were there but often had to get waiters eye for service.

Excellent food exceptional wine knowledge from staff and a very congenial atmosphere
