Was meeting a friend at the cafe at Doyle's, I waited for a while to be seated, they were busy, so…read moreI was patient. A couple came in behind me and got seated before me. Decided to try the bistro instead and got my friend to meet me there. Beautiful location, right by the water with the sun going down. The staff were young, teens to early twenties, and mostly friendly and welcoming. I ordered the salmon, it came out on a plate with a huge pile of chips. For the price I was expecting something much better. I basically paid a fancy restaurant price for pub food. The salad came later which was not even worth eating, the dressing was sugary and the leaves wilted. They could definitely lift their game food wise. It's a good place to sit by the water and have drinks, don't expect too much from the menu though.

All the way up here in Geelong and if your passing by, come have a crack at this place only after you've read what my experience were. This place is pretty much all about drinking cider! We had to wait an hour to get a seating to place a meal but we were outside in the front drinking cider and talking to pass the time. It got to the point that it was extremely annoying that we just wanted to walk out. This isn't a really famous restaurant so why did we have to wait that long to get a seating?? After that it was a further 45 minute wait for our food and for the price we are paying.... it wasn't a lot. Fine dining at its best! Ha, and the cooks look like they were having a good time working at a normal pace. This is the first time I've seen cooks relaxed at work. Your not here for the food, your here for the cider, socialising, being outdoors and the view. If your not one to wait and is impatient I recommend that you don't come here or at least have a try before you definitely say no to this place. I must say those, on a good sunny day, this place is great for the views.

Obviously they've come leaps and bounds, because Flying Cider now has their own beautiful restaurant/bar on the Bellarine Highway. They have some selections on tap that you can't get anywhere else - we tried a ginger and chill infused cider that was *excellent* - but their basics are all pretty darn great too. (Nice crisp and dry - no over-saturation of sweetness here = my kind of cider). Inside looks like a great space for lunch, and outside a plush green lawn and tables makes it easy to enjoy a glass of great cider in the sun.

Check out the restroom too (took a photo of the cool collage on the door). They support sustainable living and they harvest their produce from their nearby farm. We were told they as much as possible refrain from having waste - a plus for me already. We got vegetarian and I was pleased with the presentation of the dishes. They were also so yummy and so filling! They explained each dish being served. We had many servings - I wanted more but at the same time I was already too full! Cant explain it but it was soooo good and so filling. Staff were very friendly and knowledgeable. Highly recommended!!

This place has some absolutely amazing things to it:…read more - First love the vibe. dark and modern with some brightness to it. youthful and classy. - Love the story here. Three brothers. Oldest being the sous chef, middle being head chef and youngest being the sommelier. - Loved the passion of the waiters bringing out the food. They all seemed excited to be sharing the restaurants menu with you. Made you feel like you were definitely a part of the experience. My sis and I got the 8 course degustation for 110. Bites: Warragal greens with samphire powder charred Pumpkin pickled with nut cheese Tomato water Dishes: Zucchini risotto with slow cooked egg yolk on bottom - beautifully balanced dish both from a flavour point of view as well as a texture. The warm gooeyness of the egg with small crunchy bits with the perfectly cooked risotto. Kingfish with fresh basil and lemon myrtle and spice emulsion - This was delicious. It reminded me of my mothers indian style fried fish, even though basil and lemon myrtle have ABSOLUTELY no place in an indian kitchen. More just how it was fried and presented was such a lovely way to have fish instead of a quick sear or cured like all All things pumpkin. Roasted with garlic. Flesh into pasta, seeds and rind powdered down - My dish of the night. 24 hour pork with apple and pork stock concentrated jelly with Apple leaf dried - this dish was a let down for me. Pork was rather tasteless and underseasoned. Warmed cucumber with goat cheese nasturtium - my sister didn't appreciate this dish. I found it weird but oddly appealing. A nice palate cleanser before the bigger proteins coming up. Duck Ragu with salada crumb and plum sheet - Sister loved it. I didn't care for it as much. VERY rich, and almost needed some citrus to give it a bit of freshness. The plum sheet was a creative touch but didn't give me a fruit that helped to balance the dish; rather it was a bit too complimentary to the richness. Dry ages beef with roasted tomato, bone marrow purée and carrot, Purple basil and honey - my sister's favourite dish for the night. I definitely enjoyed it but it wasn't near my top dish of the evening Deserts: In short ALL delicious Cracked pepper meringue with Oliver oil emulsion and balsamic gel - House made licorice Black cherries covered in chocolate with beetroot dust Sous-vide peaches with peach gel and basil - now this dish i wanted to comment on because this dish represented to me what was "wrong" with O.My. When I hear sous-vide'd peaches i am counting on getting an almost poached peach which is easily cut through with a fork which isn't as soft and over done as a poached peach would be, but still have a nice consistency secondary to the sous-vide process. Instead what was served was cold and tasted, quite honestly, like a fresh peach. Cucumber granita with buttermilk 10 spice ice cream Pumpkin cooked in fig jus Vanilla cookie with milk caramel and disk Conclusions: I think this restaurant is a fantastic first step for these young men and they absolutely should be commended for it. The food is fantastically inspired and I love some of the risks they took in terms of the dishes coming out. My only and "main" criticism would be that technique can't be present for technique sake. It must be a tool to bring something new to experience. I felt like that happened in the "All things pumpkin" where they made the rind into part of the dish, and made a pasta sheet out of the pumpkin etc, but it completely fell short in dishes like the sous-vide peaches. I hope that they continue to push themselves and continue to grow. For a trio of brothers all under 30 its amazing that they are producing this kind of experience. Beyond that the only thing I would say is turn the music down a bit. A few times it was hard to hear the waiter in the context of how loud the music was.

We popped in on a Friday afternoon and the place was pumping, surprising for a week day! The service was fast and efficient and while we didn't get a seat outside on the deck, we got one right in the window so were still able to take in the breathtaking hilly views of the Red Hill country side. Foxey's offers wine tastings if you are on a cheeky tour, otherwise you can grab some simply yet delicious nosh to accompany your glass of wine, with all menu items costing $12. We ordered: + Bread with olive oil and pistachio spice + Mushroom sausage rolls + BBQ quail The sausage rolls were truly a standout and an absolute must if you visit. A lot of the wine at Foxey's is award winning. Best ask the friendly staff what might go best dependent on the flavours you like.

Along with deserts. -The food is fresh by which I mean the bread have just come out of the tandoor and you should be cautious not to burn yourself (its not going to burn you), The Tikka Kebab that we had was lean backstrap meat which was juicy, fresh and quite possibly the best I have had. The salads and the Afghan style bread was also amazing -They have big wide open space so any large crowds can be able to manage themselves here without any intrusions of space. - This is a family restaurant being managed by family members. So their only commitment is to serve you at best which has been my experience so far so that they can make you come again and again. One thing they could do with better is their foods presentation. Does that really matter. Yes, but its not as important. Now, I have told you about the kinds of food they serve, their customer service and how big the restaurant is. GO!!
