Cosi is a fine dining place in South Yarra which is intimate. Its an Italian place known for its finesse. Here the service was impeccable and the food was lovely... Almost.
It is about a five minute walk from the train station on Toorak road on the St Kilda side, towards the city.
The place is very clean and I loved the courtyard area. It was lovely in the evening and during the summer it would look much nicer
At South Yarra station I saw the ticket inspectors roughly harassing commuters. In here the service is quite the opposite. It was very friendly and relaxed and they let everyone take their time. They explained to first timers which dishes were good and which were their favourites. The wait staff said bye to me when I left. The male waiter opened the door which I thought that was really kind of him.
I really liked their polenta chips and their marinara. But for $33 it was small. That's not to say that the seafood was fresh. Hwoever there was too much white wine and garlic in there. So much that it overpowered it all. The pasta was of a barilla type and it was al dente. For a pasta dish of that price I expected the pasta to be homemade.
But still the polenta chips was very filling. That aioli was really creamy.
The bread was really dense and it was freshly baked. The olive oil was really fruity.
Rating- 13/20. Could have been better but at least the entrée was free with my discount from the Entertainment book which was 25% off the total bill.
I believe that Meld will be selling the book this year so do buy yours now from them.
