Looks lovely... I have wondered if I can justify the expense next time I'm in Melbourne. Can you shed some light on the booking process - is there a waiting list, set time to finish by, etc etc? And without wanting to be too rude, I'm also curious about the realistic cost of such a meal...
FWIW I have enjoyed reading recent articles about both Dinner in Melbourne and Noma in Sydney. While I find articles about (and by) Rene Redzepi endlessly fascinating, and I totally appreciate everything he has done with Noma in Sydney, I have always thought that I would much rather eat at Dinner by HB. In other words, I would prefer to read about Noma, but I think I'd rather eat at Dinner by HB. Obviously the philosophies are totally different and one on hand not directly comparable - but the comparison is bound to be made due to their expense, reputation, celebrity associates etc etc.
