Script Bar and Bistro - Melbourne

Script is a lovely place to go for a bite and chat with a friend before a show. The atrium is cheerful in colder months when you still need some natural light, but to be out of the weather. I retreat here for a coffee when I need to not be on campus for a little bit, and the staff are really friendly and kind.

After reading some of the reviews on here, I was a little scared when I got invited to dinner here. But it turned out my experience was surprisingly pleasant. Everyone at my table ordered either lasagne or a pasta special and really enjoyed it. Being right next to the theatre, the food is a bit pricey and my lasagne square was, for some reason, only about 3/4 of the size of the other two served next to me, but I really enjoyed the taste and was still satisfied afterwards. I probably wouldn't hurry back because of the price, but I also would happily go again if invited or I was attending another play.

Really friendly and fast service. The calamari was to die for and the antipasto platter and pork sausage orichetti were basic, but made with top level ingredients.

We both enjoyed the food great service. The waiters and waitresses were all really nice and fun. Food didn't take long and was good, too. I'd definitely come back before a show again. So close to Melbourne Recital and a nice ambience.

Great Food Service. We came here before seeing the production of Private Lives at the MTC. From the moment we were seated our lovely waitress asked us which show we were seeing (apparently there were a few in the area and then assured us we would be through in time. We shared the tempura courgettes to start great light batter and yummy filling. I had the beef cheek (amazing silky mash! and my partner had hot smoked salmon apparently they smoke it in house so it has a beautiful light texture and smoky flavour. We had a couple of lovely glasses of wine (very reasonable prices and for dessert we shared the house made bread and butter pudding (divine! All in all a fantastic experience and we were on time to the show!!Thanks Script!
