The Arborist style of indoor/outdoor dining works perfectly. On a breezy warm summers night, there isn’t a better place in Geelong to enjoy a cold cocktail and some middle eastern inspired food.

The vibe is always good. There is always a nice little crowd but it’s never feels crowded. The people as well as the decor are confidently stylish. I love the big outdoor wood fire place, draws the eye and grounds the outdoor space.

Like all modern restaurants these days, the food is for sharing. The quality of the produce is excellent, and the flavours are good. Most dishes are on the small side, which suits me just fine, as I get to try multiple flavours in one sitting.

It’s even kids friendly. They have these cool wooden high chairs that strap on to the adult chairs. Ruby loved it.
