I received my spicy bean pattie with some eagerness. The accompanying pickled vegetables weren't quite to my taste, and the fries on the side tasted better than they looked (leave the skins on I say), though there were rather few of them. And it was pretty pricey for lunch. That being said, I can't count how many touristy places I've been and wished I could get a nice filling and interesting bean dish, and the bean pattie itself delivered what I wanted. Between that, and eating in an open garden in mountain air, I felt generous enough to rate them well. I could definitely have tried other things on that menu.

Everything was fresh, simple, and exactly what you hope for when you're wandering through Montville. What I appreciated most was the kindness of the staff. Warm and genuinely welcoming.

If you're passing through Montville, it's a lovely spot to sit for a while and take everything in -- and honestly, what a view. I'm so glad I stopped, and I think you will be too.

The short version: Having tasted 10 of the 15 things available on the menu here, I think I can…read moresafely say that the food here is mostly very good to excellent. I say "mostly" because I noticed a tendency towards over-salting things. That happened relatively often but only ever with the minor/accompanying elements, so it wasn't a major distraction. Food score - 4.5 / 5.0. The rant version: My wife and I dined here for our anniversary. The food was very good overall but we had a bit of a problem with the service. The issue was that we wanted to order one 7-course tasting menu and one 5-course a la carte menu to maximize the number of different things that we could try. The staff promptly told us that couldn't be done, because both menus had a "minimum 2 per table" policy. That policy isn't stated anywhere on their printed or online menu, and it makes me wonder what they do if they ever get a table of 1 (or 3). When we pressed them on the issue they said the reason was because they wouldn't be able to time things properly so that the dishes came out together. We told them that was fine, that they could bring out the dishes however they wanted as we were just going to share everything anyways, and that we just wanted to enjoy our anniversary dinner and try as many different things as possible. Still they refused, and insisted on telling us what we could and could not order. Personally I consider that a completely unacceptable level of service. Unless the restaurant is paying us to eat there, the restaurant has no business telling us what we can and can't order (hint: the restaurant was not paying us to eat there; quite the opposite, in fact). Doubly so when we're there for a special occasion and the restaurant is well aware of the fact. So for their perplexingly poor customer service, I'm deducting a point from their score. The food was certainly good, but there's just no excuse for being TOLD what to eat. Overall score - 3.5 / 5.0.

The middle of winter in the Sunshine Coast hinterland brings out a cold that seeps into your bones. But the warmth of the fire combined with the warmth of the atmosphere kept us comfortable throughout the evening. We were seated quickly and were positively salivating at the menu. There's a LOT of awesome there. Once ordered, we grabbed some drinks and settled in for a wait. The place was quite busy, so we thought it would be a while. And we thought wrong. Entree's were out extremely quickly. The Oysters Kilpatrick were perfect, with a beautiful spicy kick. The sea scallops on pea puree with chorizo and a chilli jam were an absolute stand out. I could eat those things until I died. The mains came out just as quickly, which I was actually a little bummed about. I generally like a few minutes between courses, just to settle. But that's just me. Confit duck leg with parsnip and leek puree with ham and cheese croquettes with spiced plumbs. Oh my god. This beautifully cooked, French style dish with these three deep fried croquettes seemed so alien at first, but it worked so amazingly well. Duck was cooked to perfection with a crispy skin, and the croquettes just exploded with flavour. But my wife! She ordered the pork belly with spiced orange marmalade and caramelized sweet potato. First of all, I have never tasted pork belly as nice as this. Secondly, it was absolutely massive! It was twice as big as any portion of pork belly I have ever had before. Between the two of us, we could not finish it off. I was ashamed and undone. Ultimately, there was nothing here I didn't like. Beautiful atmosphere, great food, nice and quick, huge portions. It's a little expensive, but for what you're getting it's great value. It's a 'must visit' if you're ever up in Montville.
