Port Phillip Estate

Excellent food,great wine and the staff all 5 stars.Put it on your list , you won't be disappointed . The view from the restaurant has everything vineyards , landscape and the bay coastline.

Recently went for my mums birthday and at short notice they were able to make a cake for us as per my request and let's say it didn't disappoint. They put candles on it as I requested and even took it away to cut it up for us and presented it back like a professional dessert dish with all the trimmings. This was my second time there and will definitely be heading back again.

We visited Port Phillip Estate for lunch today and the views were just spectacular although sadly our prior window table request saw us seated in the obstructed view section on stools. We elected to move and the atmosphere was pleasant nonetheless. Staff were friendly and we enjoyed their ‘cheeky lunch’ which at $38 I thought was very reasonable. Of course to this we added a side, desserts and wine but well worth it.<br/ <br/ You do get to select out of three options for the three courses. The first was the ‘bite’ and I chose a delicious arancini. This preceded the complimentary bread which was really yummy. For my ‘small’ I opted for the flash flied calamari and then the ‘big’ was the sirloin with bernaise. The fries with aoili that we added as a side technically weren’t fries but a chunkier style chip. Very tasty regardless.<br/ <br/ The sirloin was slightly disappointing in that it was overcooked for my liking. We then had both the desserts on offer, lemon tart and chocolate brownie. A simple sweet way to end the meal.<br/ <br/ There is a more prestigious restaurant across the other side of the venue with equivalent views but a more elaborate menu. For the casual nature of our lunch the cellar door was more than agreeable but if you have a special occasion the other is probably more suitable as there is a slight distraction/interruption from those doing tastings, particularly if you are seated closer to the bar.

Food was good, I think my partner definitely got the better dishes however portions were of good size and everything was tasty and cooked well, however I felt like it didn’t hit that extra mile of fine dining

Beautiful venue. Sensational views of vineyards, pastures and Western Port Bay. Exquisite food and a dedicated staff. Highly recommend Port Phillip Estate whether it's just wine tasting or fine dining.
