    But the no-bookings policy didn't impress comedian Jerry Seinfeld in 1998. Maccarone said: ''His people rang three or four times to try to get a table. I said, 'We'd love to have Jerry. Send one of your people to get a table, then ring Jerry.' '' Seinfeld didn't come and Maccarone thought that was the end of it, but the next day, an irate hotel concierge lambasted him for not accommodating the American. Seinfeld later labelled Melbourne ''the anus of the world''

      30 years later George's Bar opens across the street.

    Can actually vouch for this place. Rib-eye for $8.50 is incredible value!

      Rib-eye for $8.50 is incredible value!

      The Rib-eye is 73% off, if you want better value, go for the Gnocci, 76% off !!!

    thats amazing!

  • stellaaddicted on 15/04/2016 - 15:04

    Might have breakfast, lunch and dinner over there for less than the price of an average lunch in the city.

    That sounds like great value today but doesn't sound like very good value for 1986…

    • grunge on 16/04/2016 - 09:07

      Chances are it'll be ozbargained if you get there for dinner.

      (I'm gonna try tho'!)

    I actually eat out quite a bit in Melbourne, but never heard of Mario's until today.

    Anyway, a good read.

    Looks like a bit of a queue to get in.

  • hashtagbargain on 28/04/2016 - 19:57

    Currently a wait time of 2 hour. Saw Mario himself come out to suss out the crowd!

    • hashtagbargain on 28/04/2016 - 22:56

      Paid a grand total of 18 bucks for the 2 of us. Food was 4/5. Waited for about 75 mins, was one of the last people to make the cut. Mario shooed the rest away.

      Overall, good experience :)

        75 minutes! That's dedication.

        • hashtagbargain on 29/04/2016 - 00:20

          Watched some Netflix as I waited in line, so time flew.

          Ps: thanks Neil for posting this deal!
