Impromptu but much needed Friday night respite with Stef. It had been a long day at work and we needed some good cheer. I called Taxi as work finished; around 6pm on the off chance they might be able to help out two hardworking ladies and was offered and sold a table at the bar that had a view of the Yarra and the Hamer Hall end of Southbank.
We arrived and took our seats and indeed it was a great view and we began to unwind. It felt fun and when the cocktails came we knew the weekend was here.

We decided to stick to girltalk so for minimal interruption, asked our waiter to take us on the Taxi journey via the six course tasting menu.
Our first course was a tasty rice cracker with a warm oyster that tasted like it had been slightly pickled. There was a real salt and vinegar flavour through it and it was delicious.
Other highlights out of the 6 courses was a great venison and beetroot dish. The beetroot made it look a bit bloody and rare but it was bloody delicious! As was the ice box lemon meringue , Alaska bombe style.
Other dishes were good to but those were the memorable ones. There's a sense of fun and party at Taxi so I'd recommend it to go with friends or for an occasion. My previous experience of Taxi was that it was a bit stiff with white table cloths and lacked personality. Now with it's new identity it's like it's had a renaissance and has been rejuvenated.
