Now this is what a fish and chip shop should really be like, with places to eat and of course the…read morepinball machines. That is what I miss so much from these places. I still remember when I was much younger we would always belt away at the pinball machines while waiting for our chips to be cooked. However, the offer more than just fish and chips (and I must say that their chips are really good - I simply couldn't stop eating them on the way home) as they also have chicken as well, and some other goodies that I can't quite remember. I am shocked that it took me so long to come here, especially since I would walk past it every day on my way to church. I guess it was the distance that was the problem, but it certainly is a great place for some good old fish and chips.

I have to start by saying that a great plus for this place is the location. It's close to…read moreMelbourne, surrounded by vineyards and beautiful countryside. The restaurant is in a beautiful house, and isn't too big, so it doesn't feel crowded or noisy. The decoration is simple and has a homely feel to it. We were a group of ten people. The staff was very welcoming, friendly and accommodating. They suggested getting an assortment of entrées to share, which was a good idea as we got to sample a good part of the menu. We did the same for desserts. The food was delicious and original, as some dishes offered a interesting mix of flavors (for example, the menu comprised an omelet with melon and mint and a curry with watermelon). Overall, I think everyone enjoyed their food. The food was tasty, flavory and fresh. A lot of the vegetables and herbs come from the restaurant's garden, which you can take a walk in after eating or between courses while enjoying the scenery. The bread was homemade and really good (and that means a lot coming from a French person!). As for drinks, we had white wine and red wine, both of which were really good. This is a nice place to go to if you want to have nice and out of the ordinary quality food and local wine and escape the city for the day.

There are several outlets of Hunky Dory around town, and yet last night was the first time I've…read moretried it ever. I love places like this when just wanting something casual, yet filling and comforting. Hunky Dory is all of that. This is one of their newest locations, if not the newest, and it was busy. It's quite cool inside. You walk up a few steps to the restaurant which makes it elevated off the street, and you can sit by the windows watching the world go by. You order your meal by choosing from the menus on the table, and placing your order up at the counter. They give you a number to take back to your table and then deliver it to you when it's cooked. Everything came out fresh and tasty. There's an area aside for pick ups from orders taken online, and that did make the space a little crowded, but still the flow seemed to work well. I got a piece of Blue Grenadier and two potato cakes and all was good, fresh and tasty and filling. Based on the cleanliness of the restaurant and the friendly service, and good food, I'd be very happy coming here again. It's priced well and a nicely decked out space. Highly recommend for casual dinners or lunch. The only slight negative, is that all fish pack meals, come with flake, which is a non-kosher fish, and if you can't eat flake, you may not get as good a deal as if you could if you ordered it. So many other places will let you order a fish pack with your choice of fish, and I'd say this is where they lose one star with me.

Last night I had the mussels as an entree and the rib eye steak for a main. The mussels came in a generous serve and were cooked just right and served a delicious thick creamy sauce. The rib eye was done just the way a liked it. The other in our party had the soft-shell crab followed by the wagyu steak. Again, all very bloody tasty. It is great to have a really good restaurant close to Warrandyte other than Mercers. The only thing is that even when it is not crowded, it is a bit noisy and hard to hear your fellow diners. I know a lot of restaurants are set up this way purposefully, but I don't like it. Well done once more guys. We will be back.

The thing is that the dinners are pretty pricey, though the price is probably what you will end up paying on average. It felt like they were trying to do pub grub, and even hold themselves out as a bar, but it really doesn't feel like a place that I would actually come to simply to have a drink. Still, the service was pretty good, but I'm probably not inclined to come back.
