I eat wok'd every single week and the food is always amazing, the people there are super nice and…read morethe cooks are super friendly too, even though you can't talk to them because they working hard, they still show a lovely smile and neighborly wave. i always order the same thing but i have had my fair share of the menu, i always order the chicken and seasonal vegetables combo with fried rice. the chicken is cooked perfectly every time, the vegetables are nice, soft and flavorful. the rice is soft and moist but not sticky which is fantastic. the inside dining is pretty limited at the location i dine in often, only three tables with two seats on one side and a cushion bench along the wall, the inside is pretty cramped when the store is packed. the wait time is effected by the popularity as well so if you're ordering take away call for a pick up order, but if you're dining inside the food is always hot fresh and fast. i will be continuing to dine there often.

With lovely decor, a cool wine bar fee on a Friday and Saturday night and yummy food, this is an upmarket option for those who can't be bothered with the trek into the city but still want a quality dining experience. The back section has an enormous dining area with an upstairs section too, but be warned- you need to book for a Friday or Saturday night. The front section transforms into a bar complete with live music on the weekend and you are pretty much guaranteed to run into someone you know here, especially if you are a local. The wine list is good and offers a local selection and the food is fresh and well-prepared with a distinct modern Australian twist. It is a little more pricey than many of Berwick's other options though so be prepared to give the credit card a bit of a work out.

Went here for a family birthday dinner and have heard so much about it I was very intrigued…read more From the outside it looked like a small simple restaurant but inside I liked the vibe. 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.

What a surprise!.. the Corner Post Cafe, Beaconsfield…read more This quaint little restaurant cafe tucked away on the bend of Woods street in Beaconsfield, Melbourne Victoria, Australia, is a pleasant surprise and a gastronomical gourmet just awaiting to tantalise and satisfy your appetite and palette. Open for breakfast and Lunch from 8.30 am to 4.30 pm, it resides in modest but cosy 1878 colonial building, presumably first opened as a Post Office, complete with warm fireplace, multiple dining rooms and central open kitchen. The atmosphere is cosy and the staff are friendly and professional, and understand the concept of 'hospitality. The food is all and more you would hope and expect... some may say 'exquisite gourmet', others, like me "yummy, delicious and superb!" I'm not sure where Dunstan the Chef originally came from, but frankly Scarlet, it doesn't matter, because he is a passionate, dedicated Chef and a superb cook! We first accidentally arrived at the Corner Post Cafe on an outing one day, and just had a cafe latte with Dunstan's fresh home baked scones, jam and cream. Now in my time, as a leading Executive Chef having worked in some of the most prestigious establishments around the world, you can imagine, I have not only cooked a million scones, but also tasted as many. I bit into Dunstan's scone and my tastebuds were overwhelmed... in the best possibly way. They were nothing short of delicious and perfectly cooked... perfectly. We returned a few times to indulge in Dunstan's scones again, but then decided to branch out and try a lunch dish. I have to say, that was probably the best decision I made all that week. My wife and I shared one meal of a gourmet Beef, Mushroom and Burgundy Pie with salads and a side server of a delicious home made tomato chutney sauce, and a special of Salmon patties and fresh garden and potatoes salad. Well, the pie was indeed exquisite. It was constructed like something from a fairy tale, a perfectly cooked hightop puff pastry pie, with tender slow cooked beef and mushrooms in a perfectly balanced naturally thickened sauce... I mean, no starch to bulk it up, just pure natural demi glaze. The garden and potato salads were fresh, and properly cleaned and washed... one of my pet hates is restaurants that do not wash greens properly. The Salmon patties were light, but had enough body to feel like a proper meal, tasty with perfect seasoned balance. The accompanying salad included perfectly cooked asparagus and Chinese broccoli among an assortment of gourmet tomatoes, julienne of peppers, carrot, cucumber and eschallots, accompanied with a side server of a tasty homemade Aioli mayo. Both dishes were very well presented with care, and were a perfect balance. The prices were average, some a little less than others, but when the meals came out and we indulged, they were worth every cent. What a surprise, what a secret little find... we will certainly be going back to the Corner Post Cafe, and trying some of the Chef's other delights. We are going to try and make it for breakfast one day, as I have been told they do an excellent 'French Toast' with a twist, and I am intrigued. I have no hesitation in recommending this little treasure and if your don't enjoy it, I will eat my Michelin hat! Happy Dinning Chef Cristo
