We came with friends from overseas and were wowed by the views and the great atmosphere. It was quite busy and I'd like to return in cooler weather when there's a roaring fireplace. The food was very good overall although my fish was a touch undercooked but it was perfect on second serving!
I went for dinner with my family, who were visiting from over seas, three out of the five of us strongly disliked our starters and main courses, with one being entirely inedible. Upon bringing this to the attention of the management, we were abruptly told that this was the way the dish should be served, and received a rude response when we pointed out that the meat should probably NOT have a shiney rainbow coating, or have fat running through it's every fibre. We were offered another dish as long as we still paid for the more expensive (inedible!) main. Overall, the service was utterly unacceptable, and the food quality did not reflect the menu prices. A superior competitor is Vela 9 in Inverloch, or Archies on the Creek - which may surprise you, was actually cheaper per head! I strongly advise avoiding at all costs, if you seek an enjoyable culinary experience.
"My family and I dined at the Foreshore Bar & Restaurant in Rhyll (Phillip Island) to celebrate 80th birthday and I am the one seated at the corner (i.e. pointy end) of a large rectangle dining table!! 11 adults squashed into a table for 10 with a spare/free table right next to us (plus few others scattered elsewhere in this restaurant) that they wouldn't allow us to use. So they are not totally booked out!"
[ADDED from reviewer email]
Doesn't matter how bad your dining experience is at this place, just don't leave a negative comment/review, otherwise you get a phone call afterwards. Yeap, one of our relatives encountered this recently and the person demanded her to remove her feedback! Wow! This must be the first!!
