Little Red Fox Eatery - CLIFTON BEACH

To be fair, there were 52 rotariers to dinner, so the print on. while my steak was underdonated and my kartoffels and drilling were cold, was not my chief apology of the coin. I can't see how this weingut can justify loading. $11 for a glazed ordinary shiraz or $40 plus for a bottle. Come on, the shiraz is just not so good, my opinion. also the acoustics in the restaurant are bad, so that 52 people they visit could not hear themselves talking.

Aa part of a group of 15, ate here recently and it was extremely noisy to the point where a few of the group went outside to get away from the noise. A couple of us had the cheese on toast entree and the toast...was burnt. Another had the cauliflower steak which was basically a half head of cauli on ratatouille paying $28. Kids crumbed chicken overcooked, almost black. Wine very average and not many choices to buy by the glass, mainly bottles and was told can 't take left over wine home if we don 't finish it. Sorry but would not go back and not recommend. Only upside, waitress was lovely.

We had a beautiful dinner here; entree, main and dessert. Our children were welcomed and enjoyed their dinner as well. Was a cold night but the restaurant was very warm. Will visit again.

We have visited a number of the Geelong Bellarine wineries that offer meals over the last few years and had passed the signs to Banks Road Winery and decided to check the website to see if they provided food. We made a booking for...Easter Sunday at the Little Red Fox Eatery, thinking the extended weekend and good weather would attract a lot of visitors. The on-line menu had set some culinary expectations which we hoped would be met and whilst all tables were eventually filled, without the place being overly crowded, we took this as a sign of foodie approval. The first disappointment was being told that the duck breast and the tiger prawns were no longer available due to a busy Easter trade (and there was still Monday trade to come). The second disappointment was the quality of the meals we ordered, given the price point and the serious competition from similar price levels at other wineries, all not that far away. The menu descriptions sounded very appealing and whilst the presentation of each dish was good, the execution fell a little short. The dishes we ate were not bad; they would be acceptable pub fare. The chicken wingettes in a black bean sauce came golden fried with sesame seeds and no black bean sauce and lacked seasoning. The chicken breast was a good portion and was moist – but served with tinned corn kernels, barley and chorizo (which tasted like cryovac supermarket chorizo). The organic porterhouse with mushrooms potato straws was tasty, came plated a little more cooked than the requested medium-rare, and the potato straws suffered from too much time in overworked deep-fry oil. The local flake yellow curry with jasmine rice, kaffir lime and red chilli was ok but really lacked the pungency of proper Thai spice. The pork belly braised in apple cider with maple apple purée and green papaya looked good on the plate was unctuously tender and moist but would have greatly benefited from a crisp and crackly skin. The accompanying Banks Road winery Chardonnay, Pinot Gris, and Pinot Noir were excellent. After paying the bigger than deserving bill, we walked into the adjoining cellar door and bought some wine. Will be back to the cellar door but not to the eatery.

For nothing else, go for the pork belly. Good food and service. An added bonus is the Banks Road wines cellar door is next to the eatery.
