Private dining in Melbourne, made for sharing

A Greek dinner isn't served course by course to separate plates. Dips and warm pita arrive first, then meze, then platters of charcoal-grilled meats, all set down in the middle of the table. It's the reason private dining at Yassas works so well: nobody's stuck at the end waiting for their main, and the table stays together all night.

Choose from named private spaces at Southbank, Docklands, Craigieburn and South Morang, or take over the whole of Eastland, then pick the set menu that suits your group.
