Tippy-Tay - VIC
Peter Ooi Tippy Tay opened to a lot of fanfare when it first launched in Melbourne, and the initial write-ups and gorgeous photos quickly put it on my bucket list. That said, more recent Google reviews were mixed, so I went in today with slightly tempered expectations.
I’m happy to say Tippy Tay exceeded them on all fronts.
The ambiance is fantastic — vibrant, stylish, and full of energy without feeling chaotic. The food was genuinely delicious, beautifully presented, and served in generous portions — the kind that makes you feel you’ve truly had a proper dining experience rather than a “small-plate showcase.”
What really elevated the experience, though, was the service. Our server, Nicola, was outstanding. Warm, friendly, down-to-earth, and genuinely attentive without ever being intrusive. She made us feel welcome from the moment we sat down and handled everything with ease and professionalism. Easily one of the best servers we’ve had the pleasure of dining with in Melbourne.
Based on our experience, Tippy Tay deserves far more credit than some of the lower reviews suggest. We left impressed, satisfied, and already planning a return visit. Highly recommended.
