We attended on a public holiday and the weather was perfect. Boardwalk layout and pathways are excellent. The gardens and maintenance are amazing (its very clear works are ongoing and that there is expansion in the works). Plentiful signage. Good amount of staff around the activities. Lots of styles & types of mazes. High ropes and zip lining (age limits apply - this is really not a place for under 3s to play as the equipment is adventure style and made for kids 135cm+). Lockers available for hire. Toilets and cafe on site, plenty of area for throwing down a blanket and picknicking. Look out for fish in the dam. Lovely local artworks spread throughout.

Wonderful family day out, with multiple mazes and playgrounds (but only for older children 2+) plus the tube slides (sadly again for older children & adults). It's mainly on hills, so wear appropriate shoes. Food in the cafe was delicious and reasonably priced. Children loved the kids' maze and found the hidden sandpit as well.

It is pretty big with nice gardens, but most activities are suitable for young kids. There are many mazes , but won't take long to play them all. Sky scramble looks fun, but only for those kids below 135cm. Tube slides are fun to ride for all ages, but is quite heavy and requires lots of effort to drag it uphill. It would be nice to improve the surface to make this less pain. Tree surfing activity cost extra, so with general admission ticket, there wasn't a lot you could do if you were an adult or big kids. The general admission ticket is also pricey.

Short review: It was ok. Would I go again? Nope, definitely no value in it. Long review: The maze was good, but please invest in a few wheelbarrows of gravel for the path.. wet weather make is very muddy. The kids sections were ok, but you can't help them along on tall obstacles as its 135cm and under. And they're limited in number. Making the experience a little short lived. Extra charge to go on adult courses which makes the whole experience quite pricey. The tube rides, please invest an automatic lift for the tubes, especially for the kids ones. it's not really feasible to carry you toddler with their tube up the hill, only to walk back and carry them again.. the kids can walk themselves but to drag the tube behind them isn't practical.

Beautiful gardens The mazes are fun. Fantastic cafe. Took my two grandchildren Unfortunately because my 12 year old grand daughter could not use lots of nets and walkways in the trees because she is over 130cm tall. Also means adults not able to assist with younger children when climbing. They do also have tree surfing but that is an extra cost after admission.

We visited the Enchanted Adventure Garden on a warm summer day with our extended family, ranging from four to sixty four. Everyone loved it. The whole place is gorgeously landscaped. It's got a wonderful atmosphere and the perfect place for a picnic, if you're that way inclined. My four year old loved the mazes. Her favourite was the children's maze: with whimsy scattered and featuring an engaging game of snakes and ladders in the centre. I loved the Asian maze: filled with beautiful nooks and crannies, it was very Zen. Two of our party tried the rope course and gave it a rave review. It took them about an hour to complete, with a lot of laughs along the way. The tyre slides were also a whole lot of fun for the young and young at heart. The cafe was a tad basic so maybe plan to eat before or after arriving. Or bring a picnic, that's what I'll be doing next visit. Overall a beautiful place, full of whimsy and fun, and a wonderful way to spend an afternoon.

Pros: good bit of fun, beautiful gardens and very well maintained grounds. Also good customer service, especially when I was emailing. Mazes were fun, even the kid one and the slide. I think the price for the tree top stuff and general admission together is a great price for a whole day of fun. The price for just general admission is a bit steep I think slightly but like I say the grounds are well kept and people need to look at the cost of maintaining everything, weekend wages etc. Cons: like everyone else says the Cafe is way over priced for the food. If they lower the price I think they'd actually make more money if that makes sense. I don't really get why the response a lot of the time is 'we encourage people to bring picnics' when you have a Cafe with a lot of potential. But overall we were 4 adults and had fun. Didn't get to do the tree top as I have a shoulder injury but it looked good and other places charge $70+ just for that. I'd come back again and have a go of it. There's a lot of things for kids to do. Anyone who gives less than 4 stars atleast is just unrealistic and doesn't appreciate what goes in to places like this.

An awesome day! Well worth the price. 5 kids aged from 4-14 had an amazing time! Even after the tree top surfing we spent lots of time exploring the park grounds, sculptures, hedge sculpting, wooden carvings, playground, games and mazes. We'll be back again.

A beautiful place for adventure and picnic. Take the stroller for little ones( though it might be hardwork for you to push it up and down over the hills)else they'll be tired and you can't enjoy. Also plan a full day if you want to relax and do all activities too. Take your food. There's only one cafe inside and you might have to walk all the to the cafe. There's something gor everyone. Not to be missed

An amazing place to bring family or friends to spend a whole day. With the treetop grand adventure where one can test their courage and balance to giant slides where one can catch air as they fly down the hill in a tyre. There are also many tasks and themes of mazes that one can explore or race. Reminder to keep track of one or another to not get lost. There are also many picnic areas. I recommend purchasing a ticket to the park in advance and to pick an earlier time as in the afternoon,there are many more people. Overall,this is a worthwhile location to spend a whole day with loved ones. Enjoy!

Entry which can include tree surfing is well priced. The staff are lovely and happy to help. The cafe is not overpriced and has excellent food and coffee. It would be great to have a conveyor belt to take the tubes up to the top of the hill, this would make a huge improvement especially for the little ones and no so fit as there is a bit of incline. Some shading whilst waiting in line is also recommended and a drink fountain at the top. Would I recommend this place, absolutely. The gardens are well manicured, the sculptures are gorgeous and there's so much fun to have here. Go early to avoid any slide queues, book your tree surfing, don't bother too much about packing food as the cafe is fantastic. Thank you for a great day 😍

Great place to enjoy either individually or family. General admission $35 and $50-$60 events covering 1-2 hrs. Very peaceful and kids above 135 cm ( height ) can have lot of fun with tree surfing and very safe. Great picnic area , big maze and a small cafe to cover your requirements. 5 starts .

Great fun for our family. My boys had great adventures on the tree surfing and on slides. We enjoyed the mazes and amazing views. Staffs were very helpful and friendly. Great place to spend a day. Everyone enjoyed it. I am sure we will be back very soon.

Allow over half a day. Especially if you want to do the treetop high ropes. Excellent landscaping, beautiful views from the Cafe, can burn lots of time on the slides. Very pram friendly, great for all ages. And the mazes are so well done. Prepare to wait patiently for the small kids to play in the sky scramble.

We did the tree surfing for all 5 levels. The tree surfing experience allows 2 hours even if you are 15 mins late to the booking. Later than 30 minutes will cancel your bookings. The tree surfing levels are quite easy and good for beginners. After tree surfing, we were free to explore around. We did almost all the mazes. They were all fun. We love the tube sliders the most. The canopy walk seemed to be under construction when we visited unfortunately

Beautiful gardens , the big slides were lots of fun ! Disappointed at the lack of gluten free options at the Cafe, glad I took my own . Heaps of grassy areas to sit & have a picnic .

"Enchanted Adventure Park is hands down the best place for a one-day picnic with friends, family, and kids! The variety of activities is incredible – from the thrilling tube ride to the challenging mazes and the exciting tree surfing. There's something for everyone to enjoy. The park is beautifully maintained, and the staff are friendly and helpful. It's the perfect destination for a fun-filled day in nature. Highly recommended!"

What an amazing place. Very well staffed. The explanation was clear, precise and easy to follow. All the staff we had were very helpful, polite and cheerful. All the obstacles were well maintained and felt very safe. We do have a level of fear of heights, but you feel so secure that the fear evaporates rather quickly. Definitely worth the visit. Suitable for very young kids to much older kids and adults. Had an absolute blast.

Place was fun, did the tree surfing and thoroughly enjoyed it. Being tall was a drawback in a lot of areas. Easily spent 4 hours here and could have spent more. Lovely gardens and place

Stunning gardens. Great workout for all the uphill walking. Loved it. My family were booked for the tree top climb but didn't make it past the first station... But it was still a brilliant day, and a great experience.

Great place. We spent the whole day here. It’s nice to be out in nature. And lots of things for kids to do. Removed one star because: 1. You have to pay full price for an accompanying adult on the tree surfing. If adults HAVE TO accompany a kid then it should be cheaper or free 2. They had quite a bit of staff in the cafe but no one cleaning up the tables so they get piled with dirty and used dishes.

Thinking of a place to go in Melb that my family haven't been to. Then I stumbled across this place. We made the 10.00 session. Lovely guy at the counter was very friendly. I just wasnt informed about the extra cost if wanting to do the tree climbing, so had to go back and pay an additional $40 pp which seemed a fair bit at the time but once you do it, it is well and truely worth every cent. My daughter who is scared of life literally, did it, the workers were all super friendly and helpful and informative it made it a breeze and although we were all out of our comfort zones we managed to do 4/5 courses. Each course has a zipline to end it. Soooo much fun!! There is also a rock climbing wall, tree surfing, tube slides, picturesque gardens, mazes and so much more. They have a cafe offering sandwiches, cold drinks, icecreams, coffee/tea, hot chips, nuggets, pies, sausage rolls and more. However I seen alot of familes bringing a picnic rug and eating what they brang and ate it with the beautiful view on the grass. I honestly can't believe we haven't been here before. We were quite tired from doing the first big maze and 4 treetop courses, and tube slide that we didn't get to do all of the things, so I guess you will see us again! I have 2 very happy kids who said, today was one of the best days they have ever had. Fantastic setup, beautiful gardens, amazing place. Welldone! Highly recommend to families. This place is hella fun!!!

Arrived at 10am, parked near the entrance and was greeted by friendly staff at the gates. The grounds are well maintained - lush, green hedges as far as they eye can see. We stayed 2.5hrs, we explored most of the property. Plenty of shady areas to have a picnic. Recommended for children aged 5-10.

The quality of food and wine here is impeccable. It has a soft, warm and inviting atmosphere, gorgeous views and well chosen, simple yet stunning decor. The resident pooch is super cute and service is welcoming and friendly. Would happily come again.

Such a beautiful winery - the food was beautifully presented and were all so delicious! Service was super attentive and warm, a very nice experience. Set lunch menu was of such good value, one of my favourite winery in this region. Will definitely come back again!

Great atmosphere, good food, and very friendly staff. Went here for Sunday lunch and the place was quite full. Would highly recommend making a booking before coming here. Had the shared starters, saganaki, crab pasties and lamb.

I booked this family run winery as it was dog friendly, and the first time we would be visiting with our pup. We arrived half an hour late after an episode of thinking he was missing (sleeping under a jacket in the back of the car) - we were greeted by the friendly hostess, who then changed our table so we were in the best sunlight. We had a wonderful set menu and a great Pinot (good tannins) that was well recommended by the sommelier. It has a gorgeous view and an unpretentious warm character. We tried to tip and they had no tipping facilities! I will recommend to all my family and friends - and will be back. Thank you to the kind staff you made our weekend.

we loves the wine tasting, cheese platter and bread and most importantly very good service with helpful and cheerful staff.

Very lovely and beautiful winery, which is a little smaller and more personal than others. The staff were super friendly and we had a great lunch and good Chardonnays. Highly recommended!

Generally speaking, the taste of the food was good, better than average. We have four ppl and it was $60 each, $240 in total but the portion was bit not worth that price. As a winery, they mainly focus on Chardonnay & Pinot Nor. Limited options, but not producing excellent results. The ones in 2020 year taste like added water into the wines. Very watery and light. In 2019 year ones are okay, but tbh for $65, you can get too many better ones in BWS or other wineries. In conclusion, it’s an overpriced fine dinning with limited wine selections. Can’t say it represents the quality of Peninsula. I wanted to give it a two stars, but the doggy cheered my day, so I’ll give it a 3.5 stars.

Our visit to this winery with friends for a relaxing Sunday afternoon was very delightful. We opted for some snacks and indulged in their selection of wine and sparkling wine. The food was simply delicious. The wine and sparkling wine offerings were perfectly complementing our snacks and adding to the overall enjoyment of our experience. It was the perfect setting for a leisurely afternoon with friends.

Great food and easy to find a parking in this winery. Seem it’s a dog friendly place. The view is good if you get a window seat… The vineyard is closed.

Pretty, fun, and kids friendly. We're kids at heart so we enjoyed finding our way around the different mazes. On entry you will be given a map with all the mini attractions to find around the site. There are different small gardens to explore, the rose maze was interesting as there are rose facts around the maze. You can walk around the grounds to view the beautiful trees. We went in autumn so the scenery was filled with gold, red, green, and yellow. Onsite you can find the Flying Calamari Brothers restaurant, we missed our chance to try but will be back as apparently the calamari are amazing.

The maze is challenging for adult. There is a viewing platform in the middle of the maze,it’s worth to get in! The lavender frame is blooming like 10%, better visit in few weeks later. It takes at least 1.5h to see all the places. Unfortunately the cafe is close but you can get soft drinks, ice cream and dried lavender.

Amazing stop near all the wineries where your family can spend 2 hours at least. We went in autumn and garden looks amazing! Nice choice for outdoor activities and events.

Beautiful, relaxing, and fun visit. The maze was so much fun to do and a good way to get your steps in! As we were walking around we could just hear pretty birds chirping and it was very peaceful. Clearly a lot of care has been put into these gardens, COVID must’ve hit them hard and I’m encouraging everyone to come visit for a relaxing day out!

Visited this place quite a while ago. Went there with couple of my friends, We decided to stop by for a short gateway. Their maze is a must to try, all of us having fun finding the way out and it kinda feels like the maze in Harry potter and the goblet of fire 😆. it was a beautiful walk in the garden as well (their rose and lavender probably seasonal?)

Lovely gardens! The hedge mazes are not huuuge but good to explore, the lavendar fields were a tad overgrown and not quite blooming (noting we visited at the very start of the season). There is a gnome and fairy hunt for kids which would definitely keep them entertained, I as an adult enjoyed it, and also a sandpit. Plenty of space for a picnic.

Great place to visit for families. We all had a great time. Will definitely be coming back. Money well spent. Our daughter will not stop talking about it.

Fantastic venue for our extended family group of 15, with kids from 3 to 8yrs old. Could have spent all day here, amazing gardens, cleverly built mazes and beautiful lavender gardens. Kids had fun tracking down all the gnomes & fairies

A beautiful place. Lovely gardens. The colours of autumn were great. The hedge mazes were fun to walk through. A lot of work has gone into them. The rose and lavender mazes are probably seasonal. Took lots of photos of the gardens and fountains etc. Has the potential for more such as a giant chess board, naughts and crosses squares etc. Thanks for a great experience.

Loved getting lost in the maze was so much fun. We participated in the gnome and fairy hunt. That just added so much more fun as we walked around and around. Gardens are beautiful and well landscaped. 😍

Not worth the price for admission. 1st maze is okay. But the second one just has way too many branches sticking out and is extremely narrow to try and navigate. The cafe food / drinks also not that great. And needs more toilets. Don’t waste your time or money on this place

Love that maze, there is 4 of them, only the first two are pretty nice, second one was more challenging, and narrow, feels like walking in the Harry Potter maze. If you know what i meant. Today was cold, but really lucky that the day was sunny, make the lake and the woods look stunning. It’s definitely a good place for family, or just wanna have a relaxing day.

Beautiful tranquil gardens. A must visit if your down this way. Entry price is a bit much but worth it.

Absolutely beautiful place like something out of a fairytale. Reminded me a lot of England. Fields of bluebells, incredibly thought out displays and intricate spots for children to explore So worth the entry cost Beautifully maintained and great value day out Very clean and enourmous sandpit, very clean toilets, nice selection of affordable snacks in cafe

Love a good hedge maze and this one didnt disappoint. The north maze was a little claustraphobic as the plants have outgrown the space, but the south maze has a challenge tower to reach which was fun to try and get to. Also has a lavender maze and plenty of open grass as well a woodland forest. Worth the visit if you are in the area

Ashcombe Maze Garden is a beautiful and relaxing place to visit for a day trip or a weekend getaway. The garden features several hedge maze in Australia, as well as a big garden with beautiful view. The staff are friendly and helpful. The admission fee is reasonable. The garden is well-maintained and offers a variety of activities for all ages and interests. Ashcombe Maze Garden is a must-see attraction for anyone who loves nature, puzzles, or just having fun.

A short drive from South east Melbourne. The staff of extremely friendly. Inspite of the fact that we went on a weekend there wasn’t a lot of rush. Once you reach up to the mountains the view is spectacular. There are walking trails and a lovely cafe. It’s a great weekend getaway

I haven't been here in maybe 30-35 years and since the major upgrade it is amazing at what they have done. On a clear day the views are spectacular and you can even see the city in the distance. I would recommend going here even for a day trip to get out of the house as there is so much to do in the area some are walking distance from the summit.

I liked this place. The experience I had was awesome. But we waited for 30 minutes to enter into the cable car. We will get awesome pictures. There were lookout points where we can see the sea meets the land. In cable car we will feel safe and the speed is limited. So that we can enjoy the beauty of nature. The staffs were receptive and they explained us everything.

I recently visited Arthurs Seat Eagle and was absolutely blown away by the stunning views and unique experience. The gondola ride up to the summit was both exhilarating and peaceful, with panoramic views of the ocean and surrounding countryside. The ride is perfect for families, friends or couples, and is an experience that is sure to create lasting memories. At the top, there are plenty of walking trails and lookout points to explore, making it a great destination for outdoor enthusiasts. The staff were incredibly friendly and helpful, making the whole experience even more enjoyable. I highly recommend Arthurs Seat Eagle to anyone looking for a unique and unforgettable adventure.

Great place to spend time with family and friends. We visited during a public holiday and there is a huge line for tickets. I would advice to book online to avoid big lines. Coffee and snack at the summit station were good. No Small coffee, either medium or large. Quick and fast delivery. Views are spectacular and the ride is fun. Max 8 people (including toddlers) allowed in each gandola which is a little annoying for us as we r 9 with 2 toddlers and ended up splitting the ride. However we had a nice ride up and down.

First time here and I enjoyed the beautiful view in the carriage. I could see the city from above and the scenery was amazing, especially when it’s bright and sunny. I bought the return tickets for my partner and I, we didn’t wait for our ride and the staff were nice and friendly. Definitely recommend it to couples and families who would like to enjoy the view of Melbourne!

Wonderful scenic trip on a Sunday. We arrived by 10 am and there was easy parking and no line. We bought our ticket $31 each return trip and headed to the gondolier. The guides let each group go in their own gondolier which was great for privacy. The trip was short and view breathtaking. It's compulsory to get off at the other end and then line up to reboard. We wondered through the gift shop and you could buy something very light to eat like an ice-cream. The trip back went all too quick, though enjoyable. We then had lunch there, a very basic menu. Hot chips, pies, pasties, focaccias, quiches & sandwiches. My partner had a $5 coffee which was super tiny and 2 star, I opted for an iced chocolate which was nice. It would be a great place to have a picnic after your ride, there are grassed areas, tables and chairs. Temperature was 24 degrees which was perfect. A great attraction on the peninsula!

What a fantastic way to see the peninsula. The views are breathtaking 😍 ✨️ the staff are all very friendly, it takes about 15 minutes return. I recomend starting at the bottom...as you get higher the view is more stunning. There is plenty of free parking and when you get to the top there is a nice coffee, you can take a walk around take lots of pics 📸. They will give you a map with tracks 👣 that you can take to other great look outs so take a picnic, relax, explore and enjoy the views. Try and catch the sunset on your way down 🌇 it's 10/10.

A relaxing spot for an evening trip, with great hikes and stunning views. The cable car trip offers some unmatched views of the spot. Chilling kangaroos just add on to the vibe of the place.

I Amasing views, really fun staff, great for the kids and the adults. Coffee ship up the top. The views from the gondolas are incredible, and Breath taking. There is so much to do at the top. There's an old car museum, tree top zip line adventure, a maze, and beautiful gardens. There is a nice brewery with the best views of the bay. While having a nice meal. The trip back down the hill is just as exciting as the trip up in the gondolas. And if you like hiking, there are a few really nice hiking tracks up and down the mountain. The views from the top will not disappoint and there is a dial that shows you all the directions of each landmark eg the Dandenong rangers and Port Phillip Bay etc.

Scenic drive along the beach and ascend towards the top station. The cable car ride takes to to and fro to the base station (price include ride both ways). Nice restaurant facility on the top. Few walk in spots. The souvenir shop in base station where you can buy goodies. When you ride few good lookout spots for some good snaps. Road is a bit curvy, be careful if you are new to driving !!! Kids friendly. Good picnic spot for families.

Arthur's Seat is a beautiful and iconic location on the Mornington Peninsula in Australia. Visitors often praise its stunning panoramic views of the surrounding coastline and Melbourne skyline. It's a great place for hiking and enjoying nature, with well-maintained trails. Additionally, the Arthur's Seat Eagle, a gondola ride, provides a unique perspective of the area. Overall, it's a must-visit for nature lovers and those looking for breathtaking scenery.

After enjoying a delightful winery lunch in Mornington, we took a short drive to visit this scenic lookout. We opted to take the cable car to the mountain top, where we were treated to a magnificent view of the bay. For those who prefer to drive, it was easy to access by car as well. We had the pleasure of spotting some kangaroos and thoroughly enjoyed the breathtaking scenery. Before descending on the cable car, we took a group picture to capture the moment. The area felt safe and clean, adding to the overall wonderful experience.

The rope way provided a unique and exhilarating perspective of the surroundings. The panoramic views were breathtaking, and the gentle sway added an adventurous touch to the journey. Overall, a thrilling and enjoyable experience, offering breathtaking aerial views that showcased the beauty of the landscape. The smooth ride and comfortable cabins added to the enjoyment, creating a memorable and exhilarating adventure. It's a must-try for anyone seeking a unique and picturesque way to appreciate the surroundings.

This was a very good and scenic trip to the top of Arthurs Seat in the gondola. The gondolas were very comfortable and didn't sway, and you could easily see the sea and land from them. We paid $31 each for our ticket.

Went there with small kids and my school friend, visiting from Sydney. It was very crowded due to public holidays we waited to be boarded for almost 2 and half hours. We bought the tickets in advance. However, when you are waiting in the queue after the queue when you are waiting to be boarded there’s a place you can buy ticket on the spot as online they are not offering family tickets so I will recommend if you’re travelling with family better buy at the window. The photo of the family ticket is attached. While you are going up from the base station, it was a wonderful view of ocean. You can take beautiful photos of family as well as nature. Once you reach at the Lookout, you can have more clear view and trails for Hiking. You can drive up there as well.

A must have experience if you are close to the Mornington Peninsula. Not only the views are phenomenal, the staff at the summit and the base station ensures that you have a seamless experience. The summit has a cafe, enchanted gardens close by and a number of other things to explore. The drive up to the summit is amazing with a number of look out points for some amazing views...will visit again for sure!! My little one who is 2 years old said 'wow' a number of times!!

The Arthur Seat Eagle is fantastic! The ride lasts about 10 minutes each way, and you can choose a one-way or return ticket. The staff is super friendly, and the prices are fair. The view up there is just breathtaking! Plus, there's a spot for a barbecue and awesome lookout points perfect for taking unforgettable photos. Although we missed the boat ride nearby, it's on our list for next time. Don't forget the cafe—they serve great coffee and snacks. Overall, it's been an amazing experience!

We waited for a while in the que. I was expecting that being a long weekend. But everyone was happy, chatting with each other. Staff are fantastic. Beautiful views. Would be wonderful doing it at night

Beautiful food. My wife had a garlic allergy, and they formulated her meal, so she had the same menu just adjusted, so there was no garlic. Attention to detail was amazing. Staff were extremely friendly. The only complaint is that they could do with more comfortable chairs. Don't let that stop you trying the beautiful food, though

Beautiful restaurant. Great food. Delicious wine. Very attentive waitstaff. Thank you! Would definitely come back again!

We were here 2 years ago with the family and they have never let us down. We had dinner this time and it was on point. Delicious food great wine. Staff are lovely. Highly recommended this place as the price is reasonable, delicious and the stuff are not pretentious like some other wineries in Mornington.

Beautiful scenery, very good wine, and super friendly staff. The only thing is that if you come for a tasting it is a pity that they do not give you a chair to sit and taste the wines more comfortably. They didn't give us much explanation about the wines either, they just left us a piece of paper with information for us to read by ourselves. I suggest that some stools at the bar would add a lot to the tasting experience.

A gorgeous Saturday lunch from beginning to end - service was exceptional (professional but relaxed and friendly), as was the food and ambience. Not to mention the Paringa wines! Everything perfectly timed and we weren’t rushed out which I loved. Loved that wine tasting is included with a restaurant booking.

The food was delicious and wine was great. Also very nice view. Tho I didn't feel like the oysters were quite fresh. All 4 course dishes were designed beautifully, however I felt a bit too full, it was quite pricy and served too quickly to the point I had to ask them to serve dessert a bit later. When I go to winery restaurants, personally prefer to have more room and time to enjoy the wine equally. The staff were very attentive and nice, I just felt they were very forceful in where to put plates and which plates and cutlery we use and even told us off once which I found a bit impolite. If there were not enough room on the table they'd move plates and wine glass (with hand next to it) so forcefully quick instead of patiently waiting and softly moving them.

Wow! Amazing service from start to finish. We had a wine tasting before we were seated for a 4 course meal. It's been a while since I've had a long lunch and I thoroughly enjoyed my experience at Paringa. Course 1: All the dishes were well portioned so you're getting value for money. Along with the 4 course, we ordered two extra entrees (oysters and lobster rolls) and the supplementary duck between 3 adults. Course 2: The mushroom with shaved beef would've been nicer if it were just a plain mushroom medley. The shaved beef was extremely salty and deterred from the natural flavours of mushrooms. I would've preferred grilled enoki or enoki wrapped with the beef to break up the beefy punch. Course 3: The coral trout with foam was exquisite. As much as I love red meat, especially if it's wagyu, I enjoyed the fish dish more. Course 4: I would've rated the parfait if it weren't doused in olive oil–it didn't add to the dish at all and packed a sweet/savoury punch that was unlike salted caramel. That was a shame! Alcohol: My favourite wine had to be the rosé and estate Chardonnay. Glasses were as expensive as a dish so you may as well buy a bottle when you're dining for 2-2.5 hours. Next time I visit I'll try the garden dining and sit outside to soak up the view.

My husband brought me to Paringa Estate for a surprise birthday lunch & it did not disappoint! Situated in Red Hill overlooking the vineyards, this beautiful winery is a must visit. We had a set 4 course menu which you can add to if you wish. The flavours, combinations of ingredients & presentation of the dishes were exquisite, you have to try the King Island Rock Lobster Bun, it is optional, the scallops were amazing, as was the Sher Wagu. Everything was just so delicious & the service was outstanding!

Delicious food, aromatic wines and amazing views - a trip to Paringa is definitely worth the drive! Lovely creamy oysters beautifully paired with a bright, refreshing dressing. Perfectly cooked, succulent duck balanced with a rich sauce. Even the side salad was deliciously well dressed. A very enjoyable lunch and wine tasting well worth the trip out

Winery is beautiful. Service is good. Food is tasty though the food portions are not enough for the amount of money that is paid. Do eat something before you end up in this winery for lunch.

It was beautiful view and great food. The service was lovely. We enjoyed our lunch a lot.

Food is delicate, yet complex, thoroughly enjoyed our 3 courses with matching wines (wines were amazing). Don't go hungry though as the portions are quite small 🙂

It was outstanding. The staff were all very professional, friendly and helpful. Each of us loved the food. Choice between two mains and they catered for dietaries, by letting them know in advance. Beautifully prepared, so tasty and top rate. And of course the wines were high quality - including the opportunity to order past vintages. Highly recommend !!

Always a 5 star experience dining at Paringa Estate from the moment you walk in the door. Lovely setting, tables not too close together, experienced and long-term wait staff and always an interesting menu. We love the wines and the ever changing menu. You can't go wrong taking visitors here

An enjoyable experience with some extremely delicious bites, and some quite eh bites. We came here on the Easter Monday, and enjoyed their 5 course menu and the marron, based off the waiter’s absolute recommendation. In essence, most of the dishes were respectable. The flavours were well balanced, ingredients cooked to perfection. Harry’s mussels from flinders were absolutely perfect and I could eat a bucket of it (and I don’t even like mussels). Now for the Marron, which were 90 dollar addition per plate, it was arguably the worst dish of the whole experience. The marron was under seasoned, although tender it was borderline undercooked and translucent. I guess they treaded the line extremely carefully in the kitchen! Alas, it was absolutely not worth 90 dollars for about 100grams (if that) of marron. An otherwise enjoyable fine dining experience.

Ten Minutes by Tractor started as a vineyard, and they now have an exceptional fine dining two hatted 👨‍🍳 modern Australia restaurant. I tried a (carnivore) tasting menu and my friend, the (plant based) tasting menu. The service was excellent, and the food presentation was fantastic. The wine was delicious, too. This was a special dining experience and definitely worth a visit. 😊 And I almost forgot to mention this. Our dinner took over 3 hours, so plan ahead.

Unreal experience. Drove down to spend the weekend in the area with my partner and this restaurant was the highlight of our trip. The food here was phenomenal, the service was amazing and the pacing between each course was perfect. Emma(?) Had been taking care of us on the night and she made sure we had everything we needed throughout the night. I will definitely be coming back to try the 8 course menu! We had told them that we were celebrating our anniversary and they even gave us a complimentary dessert! Make sure you dress up though - this place kinda fancy

Thank you to the team at Ten minutes by Tractor. We had a wonderful family lunch. Our group included a 94 year old who is deaf and who has mobility and dietary challenges, and I'm a coeliac. The staff were wonderfully helpful and were extremely mindful of making sure they accommodated all of our needs. The food and (Ten minutes by Tractor) wine were beautifully presented and delicious. The gluten free bread was melt in the mouth and the most delicious I have tasted. The atmosphere was quiet enough for everyone to hear the conversation. We will certainly be coming back.

After so many times, I've decided to go for signature menu. I must say the food are super delicious, beautifully presented, too guilty to eat. Staffs were attentive and warm The only downside is that the break between the dishes are too long. It was an 4hrs dining experience for us.

Was lucky enough to enjoy the 5 course meal here with several friends, definitely worth the drive down from Melbourne. Everything was delicious. Service was excellent and if you are lucky enough to have the chefs table with direct view of the kithen you can watch as each dish is prepared and plated... try not to drool... Courses were spread at just the right intervals with enough time to savour each dish. Definitely not a rushed experience like we see in so many venues now as they try to push through clientele. I'm not a drinker but the drinks menu was significant. The 5 courses were preceded by some delicious bread and several snacks.

We have dined here for lunch and dinner and absolutely loved it! The wine pairing is one of the best I’ve experienced, definitely arrange a lift or designated driver as the pours are generous and delicious. We loved every dish, all the courses were creative and tasty, even the bread was outstandingly yum and we had to request another serve. Beautiful interior with comfortable seating and attentive service. We’re so lucky to have such a quality restaurant only an hour away from Melbourne!

Booked wine tasting and totally love it. Such an insight into the wine and love what they do. I would recommend you guys to have a trip there for some wine tasting!

There are no words to describe how amazing the food and people were. Every meal was a work of art and every person involved were just so kind and friendly. You could just taste the freshness in the food and the passion behind it. We would come back here in a heartbeat. Thank you for making my husbands 40th a wonderful experience and one to remember. The little surprise chocolates, candle, and signed card to end was such a lovely gesture.

Absolutely memorable - My husband and I had our first dinner here on our little mini-honeymoon and we will not forget it. I am Vegan and my husband is not, and they were able to provide me with my own 5 courses which was just delicious. My husband enjoyed his meals as well and the service was just next level. The whole experience is one that we will forever remember and will most likely be back here every year to cerebrate our wedding anniversary. Thank you

Got to be one of the top spots for a long lunch on the peninsula. Food is always 5/5, service is always impeccable and the wine list extensive. Their bread is so good and I love the green marble throughout, it is the perfect spot for an extended lunch with friends and family. I especially loved the lamb cutlet on this occasion. Just make sure you get a driver so you can make the most of the wine list🍷

I came here for my birthday the week before Christmas. This was truly a phenomenal eating experience and it was so difficult to pick the stand out dish. Having said that the Marin was sublime and that lionsmane mushroom dish tasted like a rich beef dish. I am not a veggie eater but there was this beetroot salad dish that was delectable. I won't go through every detail of the food as I feel like I will miss something and not do it justice. The service was spectacular and each wine paired with each dish only enhanced the flavours of the wine and food. I loved every second I was there.

Sad to say I was underwhelmed by my experience at TMBT. I’ve wanted to dine here for over 10 years and we finally made it for our wedding anniversary, but it didn’t feel very special. Very overpriced for what it is compared to other tasting menus I’ve had. At $175pp I wouldn’t go back or recommend it to a friend. The food was good, not great. Service was good, not great (husband’s empty beer glass sat on the table for a good half an hour). Restaurant was pretty cold and the atmosphere felt a bit stiff. Really wanted to love this place as I’ve always loved the name but I guess they say never meet your heroes for a reason. :( Dishes were beautifully presented and if the price point had been closer to $125pp I think it would be justified and I suspect the dinner service would’ve been fully booked.

Fantastic.... We went for lunch on Saturday. From the time we walked in the team offered us flawless dining experience. They finished it off by presenting us with a signed card from the team wishing us a happy anniversary. Well done!

What can I say but this place is fabulous. My taste buds were treated like never before. The dishes were a delicate marriage of beautiful flavours, colours and the freshest of ingredients. The tasting menu we enjoyed tops anywhere else in our country in my opinion. Oh and the service top class as well. I love waiters who are professional, not trying to befriend you and serve you with the least intrusiveness and the waiters here are exactly that. Well done to the head chef and the staff.

Was there for friends birthday, food wasn't great, maybe is not my taste. i give 3 nice star for service because i ask for cake but the waitress said" i already closed the box, unless you wanted me to open it again and cut the cake for you?" I said forget it* dont worry. but i will come back to try the Restaurant because i see my type of food there....

The food and customer service was as good as it gent's. Beautiful rolling hill's full of of deious tasting wine. I will certainly be back without a doubt. l would highly recommend Ten Minutes by Tractor 🚜.

This was one of the best experiences. We went there for my wife's birthday lunch. They had no issues accommodating our four year old toddler. It was an absolutely beautiful and perfect day for visiting a winery. Just entering the architecture and design is stunning. This is a very refined and upscale winery so don't forget to dress up for the occasion. The views from the restaurant and bar are incredible. It's the perfect place for couples or those special occasions. We had the three course set menu lunch with a lovely bottle of Chardonnay. The service and food was exceptional. Highly recommend!

Had lunch here Easter Saturday with friends. We had a fantastic dining experience made even better by the stunning views and beautiful architecture. The atmosphere was relaxed whilst the staff were informative, friendly and perfectly attentive with nothing being too much trouble and happy to ensure the afternoon was excellent. Thanks so much for such a memorable day.

Had the absolute pleasure to have dinner and stay the night. Wow, Treated as if we were family. Dinner as always was sublime and extra treats as we were guests overnight. A lovely curated dinner and super attentive servers who made us feel part of the family. The room! Stunning! Nothing was overlooked. Very private and inviting. The decor and deck out was beautiful. I want a bathroom like this! Can't rate more highly.

I had the absolute pleasure of capturing a gorgeous wedding at Port Phillip Estate recently. The venue is absolutely breathtaking! Stunning architecture, with gorgeous natural lighting coming through the floor-to-ceiling windows in the interiors, and an epic concrete exterior offering the most spectacular backdrop. All beautifully complemented by the panoramic vineyard vista, allowing for countless beautiful photo opportunities. LOVE!!!

We celebrated my wife's 60th birthday luncheon with our family of ten. The food is outstanding and the service was fantastic. We had a total French rock star waiter who made our day more special. The whole family enjoyed the day. We will be back.

Fantastic and friendly experience! Chris (or Craig) and Ash have been amazing hosts, they know their wines and we felt welcomed. Although Port Philipp is a famous wine brand, they have still kept all the charm of a small boutique! We definitely recommend this place and their Farrago Chardonnay. Thank you.

Most often I will visit a winery when we are away and this time I booked Port Phillip Estate. The ambiance and food was amazing but I didn’t seem to feel comfortable whilst dining in there? Maybe the tables were too close together, so there was no privacy between each table. The quality of the food was superb and stand outs for me was the lamb main dish and the pineapple dessert. But unfortunately I will not be visiting again.

Venue and service were great. Worth the drive. However food (lunch) was the let down. The cod and pasta entrees started off on the right foot however it all went downhill from thereon. I'd give my overall experience 3.5 stars.

By far the best hospitality I have experienced for a very long time. The staff are absolutely amazing. The food was divine and the room was just gorgeous. We were surprised with a beautiful breakfast basket delivered to the room, which was not even a part of the deal.

Beautiful location and a stunning view from our table. I had the asparagus for my starter, it was delicious but a small serve. I had the eggplant for my main and it was dry and lacked flavour. It was a half of the small eggplant. I had the strawberry sponge for dessert however the sponge was not light it was heavy. Coffee was weak and lukewarm. The staff were polite and pleasant. Overall, expensive and serves were too small.

The place itself, along with the view, is beautiful. Our waiter was attentive and friendly. My disappointment came from the food itself. The entrée was fine - I wouldn't say great. My husband and I had the pasta and chickpea/tomato dish. But the main really let us down. We both had the duck. One, small piece of duck (slice from a fillet, about an inch wide) for a main was very surprising. It was served with charred radicchio and some very strong, strange tasting sauce. I could not eat the radicchio as it was so charred it tasted like eating coal and hardly touched the sauce. On top of that , the duck fat was not rendered properly on mine and i had to take some of the skin off and was a bit on the rare side for me. We ordered a side serve of potatoes which unfortunately tasted like they were either re-heated or kept warm for hours, bit dry and only just warm. The deserts were lovely in presentation and ok. For the price that you pay, you would expect much better.

I cannot fault this venue. Ok, maybe it's not the place for you if you're on a tight budget, but it is silver service dining and you definitely get what you pay for. The service is excellent, food is amazing, and the view will take your breath away. We were even treated to two wedge-tail eagles circling in the thermals outside. A very memorable experience.

Hard to fault. The building is superb concealing the amazing view until you enter, then once inside, the dining room encompasses all the beauty of the valley below. The food is delicious. The service fabulous. The wine, beautiful. The rooms are beautiful, elegant and spacious and look out over the vineyards. If I have one criticism, it’s that in the evening there was nothing open in the hotel to get any food from. They promised us a cheese platter to tide us over after our massive degustation lunch, but the platter they they brought was very small and left us really hungry overnight. But that aside, it is a truly wonderful experience staying there.

We had a magnificent meal. Almost faultless. Our waiter was knowledgeable and hilarious. The view is spectacular and the wines were delicious.

All the food and desserts were good especially the lamb and oysters. We got there for our 12 noon booking and it was not that busy yet but the food took too long to arrive. I think the venue didn’t have enough staff as our wine glasses were long emptied and have to wait and ask to be refilled. Ordered our 3rd bottle of wine, my son in-law have to take our wine bottle himself to pour out as we can’t wait anymore for any service to come by. Again, food was good but took too long, venue was ok. Still gave them 10% tip for a very bad service experience because a waitress (Serena) seems apologetic enough but will never come back again. Go spend your money in another place if you want the complete package of good food with exceptional service….

Fabulous Sunday lunch at the architecturally brilliant Port Phillip Estate. Great options for a pescatarian. Staff were attentive and knowledgeable on the food as well as the wine.

Stunning venue! Got so excited about the food that I forgot to take photos 😂 For someone who is usually gluten free, I couldn’t say no to the house made bread - no regrets. Best bread I’ve eaten in who-knows-how-long?! Entrees we’re good and everyone was impressed with their main meals although the fish was a little bit dry. Needed something saucy even if it was on the side. Desserts didn’t disappoint and staff were superb professionals. Magnificent.

My now fiancee and I got engaged at this property, dined at the restaurant and also stayed for 2-nights in late October. If you have high expectations for luxury properties, and appreciate uniqueness, quality of service, and personal touch, this is a fantastic romantic weekend. Super boutique (6 rooms, all walk into vineyard where only hotel quests are allowed) and absolutely stunning location and architecture. Large, well appointed rooms tucked away under the building (super cool). Restaurant was possibly the best we had during our 2 weeks in Australia. Only knock is that it's not "full service" like a Ritz / Four Seasons (also no pool, workout etc) but that wouldn't really jive with the experience here.

There are plenty of options to stay on the Mornington Peninsula but Port Phillip Estate is by far the best. We bought the Dolce Vita package which was excellent value. The customer service is top class. From the moment Elliot welcomed us to all the other F&B staff. Incredibly friendly & professional. Lunch in the Dining Room overlooking the vineyard was exquisite. The scallops a real highlight. There are only 6 rooms on the property all looking out onto the vineyard. Luxuriously appointed & very elegant. We felt so spoilt during this stay & will have beautiful memories of our weekend away. Thanks so much to the staff for making it so special.

Bitterly disappointed like previous reviewer.Booked 6 months in advance for a important family event.Cancelled by text a week before citing Covid staffing which we understand. Offered another weekend lunch only date which we said yes. Silent since.All texts, emails and calls ignored Great to win all these awards guys but please try a little consideration and customer service for people who have waited and been cancelled via text

A stunning venue with a great philosophy. The open kitchen showcases the woodfire and imparts a rustic atmosphere. The staff are attentive and lovely. The house spritz was herbaceous and refreshing. Each dish was beautifully presented, and I enjoyed the little explanations when each dish was brought to the table about where the produce was sourced. The only reason I can't give 5 stars all around, was the timing between courses. We waited 1 hour and 15 minutes between our mid course (tuna) and our main course (lamb). The previous courses were coming out at a more reasonable pace prior to this (when we finished a course, they would bring the next course about 10 minutes later). I understand the whole long lunch vibe, but in my opinion, that's far too long to wait between courses, and while the food was delicious, my enjoyment was diminished because of that wait. However, I'm not sure if this was just a one-off issue on the day we went. Other than this, we had a lovely and memorable experience, and would definitely recommend this restaurant as must visit.

Beaune has Ma Cuisine, Mornington has… Tedesca? In the laid-back wine country of Mornington Peninsula, home to many of Australia’s Pinot Noir producers — a rustic cottage stands on the edge of a valley, overlooking the neat rows of its farm. Hidden beneath a trap door is one of the peninsula’s best stocked wine cellars; the wine list an encyclopaedia almost, with an extensive range and rare allocations. Getting access to this wine list is notoriously difficult, but an afternoon in one of the osteria’s 30 seats is an afternoon well spent, observing how your wine evolves over the hours to the slow but steady rhythm of the little kitchen. There is pasta freshly made every morning, springy to the bite. The thin crust of wood-fired pitas, cradling with care a parcel of olives. Simple, homely food, matching equally rustic surroundings. Unlike Ma Cuisine, there is only one set menu at Tedesca, which dictates to a certain degree the choice of wines to go with your meal. There is enough food to satisfy both lunch and dinner. $185 per person covers a farm-to-table experience and the privilege to pore over and sip from a geeky wine list. We are left only to regret the wines we do not get to drink.

From start to finish the experience was excellent. This is humble, rustic Italian cuisine amongst the beauty of Red Hill. A really special moment were the zeppole at the start, as they were a childhood favourite from my nonnas kitchen. The hapuka was definitely my favourite dish and the starters were a wonderful selection. My partner has allergies and he was well catered for. Service was excellent, albeit a little slow but you’re supposed to sit and enjoy a long lunch. Don’t come if you’re expecting a quick meal, as you need the time to take it all in.

What an experience - flawless food, cosy atmosphere, delicious house spritz, beautiful location, friendly staff. Want the best meal of your life? Go here.

After failed to book for this restaurant twice before, I was almost jumping for joy when I finally secured a Sunday lunch spot for my husband & I. From the minute we entered a lovely white weatherboard house with a magnificent garden, an impressive timber front door, into a beautiful flower-sprayed dinning room with fireplace, this restaurant certainly makes a statement, an experience we are not likely to forget for a long time. What can I say about delicious food that already not been said many times before, everything is perfectly cooked with beautiful fresh produce and beautifully presented, our lunch lasted 3.5 hours, plenty time to savour each dish and wine, Tedesca certainly takes the lazy Sunday lunch to a new level. If you ever wondering what the hype is about, I can only suggest you try it yourself.

Absolutely exquisite long lunch experience lasting about 4 hours. Service is warm and extremely attentive with chef/owner Brigette checking on you in between dishes. Food is extremely fresh and creatively put together. Expect quite a few courses and many unique items that are either caught or grown on site. Book way in advance if you wanna get a spot here.

We had a fabulous lunch here today. The food was amazing with plenty of dishes and staff were super friendly. It is one of those places where you feel like you are having 5 star meals but in a homely environment. Highly recommended!

Fantastic fusion dishes (Italian x Morocco) in a great setting, perfect service. Super wine list - take a trip to the cellar if you're up for it. Worth the wait to get a seat.

Our children gave us a voucher as a Christmas present over two years ago and we have finally made it! Well worth the wait. From entering through the front door that is an opening statement we were seated with a view to the wood fire cooking and food prep area, a fascinating and pleasing theatre that played out over nearly four hours. To see the aged ribeye trimmed and thickly sliced ready for cooking over coals, the trout sliced and cooked to perfection and the Serrano jamon being sliced tissue thin to be added to the pasta made our day special as the chefs openly shared their skills. Wait staff are professional and knowledgeable and the wine list impressive. The dedication of Brigitte Hafner to quality and sourcing excellent ingredients pays off in spades and Tedesca is a destination dining must.

Excellent! Nice long lunch, delicious food, great range of wines and amazing scenery. We even bought our 10month old and they were very accommodating! Highly recommend to anyone in Victoria! Worth the trip.

What a fantastic experience! Everything from the service, food & drinks were amazing. I have been here a few times and each time it is just as good as the last. We were seated in the group room as we had 8 and it was great, because we didn’t have the noise of the dinning room meaning we could hear each other. Definitely worth the 2 ⭐️ the team just got in the good food guide!

Like everyone else has said this place is outstanding. Service, food, gardens. Was told about this place and went on the wait list which we got in on lucky. Wine list is great, alot to choose from for everyones budget. Would highly recommend and return on our next Mornington visit.

A fantastic experience - amazing food and service (thanks Georgia!) combined for a perfect long Sunday lunch. Well worth the long wait, and completely understandable why there is such a wait. Will be getting back on the waitlist ASAP!

I had a truly unique and amazing experience at Tedesca for my birthday. Starting off, I would like to shout out James for helping me secure a reservation with short notice. He was so helpful and friendly. The whole team were also extremely accomodating and meticulous with everything they did. I can’t even begin to explain how delicious the food was! My favourite dish was definitely the fish. Everything was cooked to perfection and just the general vibe and atmosphere felt so warm and I left extremely full and happy. I will definitely be coming back <3

Fantastic restaurant with a focus on local ingredients and slow dining. Perfect for spending a special afternoon with friends. Just be mindful of drink prices; our wine bill exceeded the meal bill, surprising some guests. Discuss drink price expectations beforehand to avoid any unexpected surprises

$700 for degustation menu for 4 - in the end gave up waiting for last course and left. If you hold yourself out as a premium dining experience, your service needs to be better than average at least. Our table was not even cleared some 30 minutes after penultimate course. So disappointing service was so poor as the food was actually very good.

Amazing. Easy to locate. Food was 1st class. Staff were great. Great view /ambience in dining room.

We came here on a wine tour and was really impressed. A really high end vineyard and the wines were amazing. The staff were so informative and knowledgable.

We came in for a tasting. Alyssa (hope I’m spelling it right) was a wonderful hostess. She really encouraged us to enjoy each wine we tasted, and didn’t seem to be pushing us through to buy bottles at the end. The wines are great, and we’ll certainly be ordering online as often as we can!

Very cool place! We had 20mins to do a speed-tasting before catching a train and the staff were amazing at accomodating us! Some cool sculptures and a grand entrance set the scene but inside its not pretentious at all! Love the discounts for bulk-buy too! Would happily go back!

After not being there for a very long time, I had ordered some bottles online. Finally got around to cracking one open tonight. OMG. Just perfect.

We went in search of the vineyard based on the recommendation in a well loved wine guide that was at least 6 years old. We were certainly not expecting what greeted us at the top of the drive.... The dining experience at Rare Hare was nothing short of brilliant!

Excellent amazing service & very welcoming. Brilliant venue food & wine to die for. This is how customer service should be. We will be back.

Quaint establishment with interesting architecture. The food was well presented and palatable. We enjoyed the ambience and our evening. The kind gesture of birthday dessert was very much appreciated.

Delightful restaurant experience. Albeit found the food good but not excellent. The fish wasn't overly flavoursome or unique and the chicken was good but again did not blow your socks off. I've found the Rare Hare to be the better of the two restaurants. With that said there is certainly more on the menu that I didn't have the chance to try. Staff were impeccable and service is 5 star.

Loved their innovative and playful menu and the ambiance. The restaurant is both cosy and stunning, with the ceiling artwork the standout piece. Staff were all lovely. 5/5 - would love to return. Tip: stay at the beautiful hotel so you don't have to drive home and make a mini break of it - it's worth it (breakfast is also outstanding!)

Great experience, definitely a highlight and everything is put to work to make your dinner memorable. Staff very friendly and knowledgeable on menu and wines. The dining room looks great with the unique ceiling light design. The flavours in the menu were wonderful with unique combinations, and the wine options matched to the menu worked really well.

Creative dishes with nice wine pairing. Impeccable service. Just a bit lost to find the entrance from the cat park in the dark but a friendly staff showed me the way.

We've heard a fair bit about the restaurant thus, when we secured our accommodations at the hotel, we decided to book a table for dinner with our friends since we are a long way from home. There's quite a lot of hype on the restaurant so expectations were high. First you are greeted with the black and modern decor, with lights that dim and brightened throughout the night. As a person with some degree of night blindness, it bothered me. Our friends too. Maybe we are older, and this was way to trendy for us. Maybe it was to add to the atmosphere, but didn't do much for me. But the light fixtures were something else, definitely better viewed in the day IMHO. That way, you can truly see the extent of the fixtures. FYI, the restaurant is where you'd have breakfast in the mornings and I LOVED BREAKFAST. Every single dish we had was flavourful and fresh, and beautifully plated. Service by Emily was good, can't say the same for the rest, as we had to ask for service a few times in the mornings as they had forgotten some things. Likewise for dinner service! Exquisitely decorated plates for all the courses. I must say, we didn't like the oysters. While they were fresh, somehow the special sauce didn't do it for me, nor anyone else who had oysters on the table. As mentioned, we were all enjoying all the innovative courses, tasty and filled with textures and layers, until dessert... Dessert, every single one we had was such a letdown. It didn't help that we waited more than 40 minutes and asked for updates on it 3 times. Disappointing because we were so impressed with our appetizers and main courses and were at the climax! It would have been 5 stars for sure had dessert impressed us as well. Sadly, it did not. While the menu description made each of them sound really exciting, they didn't excite any of our tsstebuds. And there wasn't much service recovery either. Service was also pretty good right until we finished our main courses and started the wait. What a bummer. By the end of all the waiting, we were all so exhausted, and couldn't wait to get out, we didn't even bother to stay for the petit fours, and as we stood up to leave, no staff attempted to remind us either... Another set of diners left abruptly as they didn't want to have their desserts anymore. Overall, I enjoyed the dining experience, but would definitely do without dessert. Would I return for dinner, maybe no desserts next time, especially if I have to wait that long again. But call me for breakfast again, anytime!

I had actually never heard of this restaurant until I received a Jackalope gift voucher from my friends. So I decided to use it on a nice dinner at Doot Doot Doot to celebrate my birthday, and I’m so glad I did. The customer service from all the servers were fantastic, very professional and friendly. We really liked our server, Thomas, who was very attentive. He encouraged questions to be asked if we weren’t sure of anything, and if he didn’t know the answer, he went to find out for us. The food was amazing! We enjoyed everything we ordered and this is probably one of our favourite restaurants now. Will be back in the future.

We loved our dining experience at DOOT DOOT DOOT. Our server Gemma was kind and knowledgeable and we had an overall great experience. I think the price point of $125 per person was quite reasonable for the food and experience we received. Some of the dishes were experimental but not too much that they weren’t edible, they were exciting and tasty. We especially enjoyed the ‘bacon and eggs’ among other things. We would recommend to others :)

Really friendly staff and great food! One of the best meals I've had, all the dishes were balanced really well with great texture throughout all courses. Jam doubt parfait was my favourite :)

Let's start with the service! All the staff are friendly, professional and knowledgeable! Very attentive and able to help us guide us with the order. Food is absolutely amazing!! Everything was so delicious. Especially the lobster!!! It is to die for!! The ambiance and decor is very very nice. Definitely the place to be for any occasion!

One of the must try regional restaurants people always talk about. First thing - what a ceiling! It dims and glows through the night. Food is pretty good (given the price too - very reasonable cost for a "degustation"). More like a tasting menu to be honest. Nothing really stood out per se, but definitely worth a try if you wanted a night away and some fine dining! Breakfast from here was great as well (nothing brunch fancy but simple and delicious)

Absolutely one of the best meals of 2023 for me!We came here for our anniversary, and everything was superb.Our waiter - Mia was outstanding, fun, and knowledgeable. A rare find.The meals were amazing, each with so much detail, the matching wines were on point.Thankyou!!!!

We had a Amazing dinner at Doot Doot Doot last Tuesday. The food and drinks were an absolute delight. The cocktails were very refreshing and a little dangerous as they were so easy to drink. The flavours and textures of each of the dishes were truly amazing! The service was second to none as each member of the team were highly knowledgeable and of course very helpful. Huge thanks to Grace, Amanda and Kate for making the night wonderful.

The service was exceptional, and we thoroughly enjoyed the lively atmosphere. While the food didn't fully satisfy our taste buds, we appreciated the ambiance they cultivated. I highly recommend it for a romantic date.

Stunning vista and fabulous venue. Delightful staff. Hard to go wrong here although the lemon sorbet accompaniment with the Harpuka was a little startling … Defs not my thing. The desserts were a bit funky too, but I do believe we are spoilt for food in Melbourne. It’s hard to consistently outperform your own benchmark and expectations of an increasingly opinionated public!

Really enjoyed an amazing night at Doot Doot Doot. Our server was very attentive, friendly and took the time to answer our questions and find out more. Was great to see he was honest, well thought out and prepared when answering my questions. Great job! Overall, I really enjoyed all the dishes, with each giving a different unique and unpredictable experience. It was more than just a taste, but truly a remarkable journey of flavours and textures, with twists and turns. Highly recommend anyone going out for more than just food. Thank you to the team and to the chefs crafting such an exquisite experience.

We had a delightful experience at Doot Doot Doot! The dinner was wonderful, and Amanda's attentive service made it even better. Thank you, Amanda, for taking such great care of us. We look forward to returning for another fantastic dining experience.

Why isn't this a 3 hatted restaurant? The food is innovative and delicious. The staff are efficient, knowledgeable, and unobtrusive but ever present. The decor is memorable... a must try on the Penninsula.Revisited April 2024 is this dining experience even getting even better with time?
