21sts, milestone birthdays and engagement parties across five Melbourne venues. Most are a private balcony or room for 20 to 45 people: The Yarra View and The Bridge Terrace on the Yarra at Southbank, The Meltemi at Docklands, The Elysian Room at South Morang, and The Agora at Craigieburn for the big ones.
Shared feast menus from $49 per person, Southbank from $69 per person
So a 25 guest 21st on The Bridge Terrace at Southbank is about $1,725 of food, before drinks.
The one everyone turns up for. A private room sized to the guest list, a feast that keeps coming, and a drinks package or bar tab you set the limit on.
Milestone birthdays for people who would rather eat well than dance till two. Long tables, good wine, and room for the family and the friends at the same time.
Two families, one table. Greek feasting was made for exactly this: food passed hand to hand until everybody has met everybody.
Not every birthday needs a room. Groups of 10 or more can dine together without exclusive hire, on the same shared feast menus.
Tell us it is a surprise when you book, and the team will help you keep it one on the night.
Not planning a party? Join the Yassas Birthday Club and the loukoumades are on us during your birthday month.
House made dips and warm pita, hot meze like saganaki and calamari, charcoal grilled meats and slow roasted lamb, salads and sides, then loukoumades.
A drinks package, a bar tab with a limit, or on consumption. Greek wines, local beers, cocktails and non-alcoholic options at every venue.
Vegetarian, vegan and gluten free guests eat from the same shared plates. All meat comes from halal-certified butchers. Four of our five venues are pork free; Southbank is the exception.
A functions coordinator takes your numbers, dietaries, cake and speeches, and replies within 24 hours.
Smallest first, because most birthday and engagement bookings are 20 to 45 people. Food costs are the set menu at that headcount, before drinks. Saturdays and Sundays carry a 10% surcharge, public holidays 15%.

Yes. Choose a private room sized to your guest list, a shared feast menu, and a drinks package or a bar tab with a limit you set. Send the date and numbers and the functions team will suggest the right venue.
Yes. A private or semi-private space means the speeches happen in your own room, not over other diners. Give your coordinator the running order and service is timed around it.
Yes. Bring your own and we will bring it out when you are ready. A small cake service fee may apply, so mention it when you book.
Not always. Groups of 10 or more can dine together without exclusive hire, on the same shared feast menus. A private room is worth it when you want speeches, music, or a crowd that gets loud.
