Fortnums Restaurant

Rating for service only. I'd rate the foot but unfortunately we never got to order. ~ 20 mins of waiting, no offer of water or acknowledgement that "we'll get to you soon"... so we walked.

I gave the management some feedback on leaving (politely), but was not even offered an apology And they weren't even that busy at the time...(~ 2:20pm). I would avoid this place.

Looking for the perfect place for a romantic lunch afternoon date? Dining at Fortnums guarantees that that the rest of the date will be excellent. For instance, the price of anything other than the Devonshire tea ensures that your wallet or handbag is no longer troubled by heavy, annoying money, thus imparting greater freedom for walking around.

Love this place! Great for lunch or afternoon tea any time of year. In a beautiful spot with native birds hanging around in the surrounding trees. We have always found the service to be great, and the food is lovely - especially the scones with jam and cream, yum!

My family and I visit this restaurant whenever i'm in Melbourne, which is about once per year. Great food, great value. They are always busy, but the wait time is reasonable. This is the best restaurant in the Dandenongs - highly recommended!

Remarkable delay on serving the food, ruining the plan and mood of the day. Wrong drinks given. Tunnel-vision waitress not able to see hands waving.
A bit console as neighbour tables are suffering as well.
Need some improvements on management.
