Concierge.com's insider take:
With a prime location on St. Kilda's beachfront promenade, the Stokehouse has a sunny patio overlooking the crowds of in-line skaters and sunbathers. And in winter, you can cozy up inside by the fire. Downstairs, the menu is casual and fairly inexpensive: pastas, seafood pizza (topped with prawns, calamari, salmon, and fresh herbs) and great fish-and-chips all cost less than $18. Upstairs, chef Anthony Musarra turns out more formal Oz-Med dishes. Try a starter of seared scallops with roasted chorizo and crème fraïche, then follow with a grilled snapper fillet or the Angus beef tenderloin with porcini ravioli, Swiss chard, and truffle cream. But don't let the sophisticated menu fool you: The Stokehouse has a relaxed, beachy feel.
