About Bar Romanée

Low lights, wall art, and serious bistronomy without crossing the river—Bar Romanée gives Yarraville a polished address for date nights and family milestones. Regulars fill the room for fresh oysters at happy hour and the thirty-five-dollar Monday steak night, while dinner tables lean into Cobb Lane sourdough, seared scallops, and charred broccolini with honey and ricotta salata. The dining room keeps the decibels low, conversation unhurried, and the cellar-savvy floor crew pouring with precision.

  • Monday Steak & Oyster Rituals: Fresh oysters during happy hour lead into a thirty-five-dollar Monday cut served with chips and dressed greens.
  • Low-Decibel Date-Night Setting: Dim lighting, art-hung walls, and low ambient noise keep conversation effortless for couples and intimate evenings.
  • Tailored Milestone Gatherings: Pre-event menu coordination and advance wine tastings take the friction out of hosting multi-generational family milestones.

  • Monday Night Steak Tradition

    A dedicated Monday steak special pairs high-grade cuts with chips and salad at accessible pricing for an easy start-of-week neighborhood dinner.

    The steak was one of the highest quality cuts I’ve had on steak night, priced at $35, which included chips and salad.

  • Oyster Happy Hour Ritual

    Locals drop in during weekday afternoons to enjoy freshly shucked oysters paired with welcoming, prompt bar hospitality.

    Walked in with moments to spare for happy hour oysters but was graciously encouraged by the lovely wait staff.

  • Crispy Skin Chicken

    The chicken was probably the best I’ve ever had, so tender and juicy, I couldn’t stop thinking about it all weekend.

  • Charred Broccolini

    The highlight for me, however, was definitely the charred broccolini with honey, crushed nuts and ricotta salata. It is definitely a must-try.
