I got invited out to give it a go tonight and I have to say, it was OUTSTANDING. I've always known it as a functions venue, but it translates very well into a casual/fine dining establishment. The decor is modern and tasteful and it's very intimate and inviting without being pretentious- this continues on with the staff, who are amazing and very clued in on what it is they're serving:) Pricing is very reasonable, as are the generous portions. Everything on the menu just looks incredible- we ordered the scallops and the pork belly for entree- both of which were very juicy and tender. Mains were a special beef fillet and a lamb shank that were both cooked beautifully and my companion and I kept swapping our plates back and forth without being able to decide which on we liked the best. Even the sides were delicious- the seasoned potatoes, garden greens- just tasty as. The dessert was a tough one to pick but we went with a brownie and a simple berry crumble which were both delicious. Although not as centrally located as the other restaurants in the group, I'd have to say I found the meal to be absolutely divine on all fronts. The overall experience was fantastic and I'd recommend it as a great place for anyone who's seeking a great dining experience without the pretentious wank fest and often loud noises of other places in town. Highly recommended. DOWIT!

It's the kind of place where you can catch up with friends for a long brunch or treat yourself to a solo coffee and feel totally at ease. The food? Next level. Every dish is beautifully presented and packed with flavour. You can tell there's genuine thought and creativity behind the menu--there's something for everyone, whether you're after something nourishing, indulgent, or somewhere in between. Plus, their coffee game is strong! The staff truly make the experience. Friendly, attentive, and always up for a chat or a recommendation - they go above and beyond to make you feel special. It's that warm, personal touch that keeps you coming back. And can we talk about the Boozy Brunch? Absolute genius. Mimosas, good food, and great vibes - what more could you want? If you're in Mornington and haven't visited The Winey Cow yet, you're missing out. It's everything you want in a café and then some. We'll definitely be back (again and again)!

My two friends and I were even given free coffees! Don't mind if I do! They really make conversation with you and care about whether or not you enjoyed your meal. That definitely is a rarity when it comes to businesses nowadays. This place probably has the best customer service I've seen anywhere! Food: They have delicious meals all at reasonable prices. My two friends both ordered Big Breakfasts, which is reported to be delicious. I personally ordered the Eggs Florentine with Smoked Salmon and it was honestly incredible. I even wanted to lick my plate clean. Filling, great value, absolutely delicious, you cannot go wrong. The only negative thing I have to mention is that there is a decently long wait time so don't go in if you're already starving and a bit impatient. The wait time is worth it in my opinion for the delicious and fresh food, but it's still something to be wary of.

We were told to go to Blackbird by a local shop owner and were so glad we took their advice! Blackbird Cafe is off the main drag down a laneway about halfway down Main St. We went for breakfast on a Sunday morning and though it was busyish they were happy to accommodate a table for 6 without a reservation. Breakfast menu had all the usual faves plus a couple of great vego options for us so yay - Vegan Breakfast and Baked Eggs. Our friends had The Big Breakfast, Eggs Florentine and Avocado Smash. Also each coffee comes out with a itty bitty piece of cake on the side - too cute! The Big Breakfast definitely lived up to its name - huge! The hollandaise on the eggs was raved about and my Baked Eggs were AH-mazing. Lesson learnt - listen to locals! Check out Blackbird if you're ever down that way.

Filled with countless eateries and shops, including the fantastic Yo My Goodness, this area a must see for those visiting the Peninsula. Anyway, back to Yo My Goodness. This burger spot is awesome! We shared the Yo My With Cheese, which is their signature burger, and the 12th Hour, which is slow cooked pulled pork, asian slaw, and basil mayo. Both were divine! They have a large selection of milkshakes, fries/curly fries/onion rings, and their burger meat is 100% grass fed quality Aussie angus beef. 5 Stars for YOMG!

In addition, the dance remixes of top 40 hits playing in the background made me think I was at a day club. My friend and I shared a Yo My With Cheese and a Bergerk. I thought the beef and chicken could have been more juicy (the chicken in particular was a little dry around the edges), but overall, no complaints. They were decent, but I wouldn't go out of my way for them. What I would recommend and go back for is the red velvet shake - it was absolutely divine, and definitely hit a home run for me. I think the mascarpone gave it that thick consistency and cheesy sweet taste, and I loved the crunchy oreo. Amazing combination! I also had a taste of the chocolate cake froyo and it was super decadent. So my 2 cents on this place is, go for the shakes, froyo and dancey vibes!

The heritage listed church, located in Barkly Street, Mornington, is a unique venue that is broken up into four main areas - the main hall, atrium, beer garden and court yard. "Gods" as it's colloquially named, provides tapas, a la carte and gourmet pizza all in the one venue, and doing late night food on the weekends. The bar has gained popularity as a relaxed alternative to nightclubs, allowing patrons to socialise with friends without being bombarded by loud music and excessive crowds. Gods caters to a range of function requirements including birthdays, engagements, work functions, baby showers and family get togethers. Wednesday night "Trivia Night" has also become a crowd favourite where teams can get together and battle it out while enjoying a beer and meal. Be wary - the venue has gained so much popularity in recent months that a small queue out front to get in on Friday and/or Saturday nights is not unusual.
