The Vineyard Restaurant

"Potato and leek soup with soft bread on the side...heavenly on a cold day. Bread is soft inside, crunchy crust, buttered and drizzled with olive oil and alfalfa. Bacon and mushroom pate with onion jam and pickles, Turkish bread on the side. Absolutely delicious. Bread is soft and crunchy crust. I'm in love ❤️"

"Such a St Kilda institution.... I'm not sure how long it's been here, but it's seems to have always been around. It's one of the last venues that still has a true St Kilda feel. The last time we were there, it was half price cocktails (decent cocktails too), and the vibe was classic St Kilda....well healed nightclubbers having a drink before launching themselves at The Espy, bewildered tourists getting a taste of the other side, the down out heal barflies mulling over a long drink. Seriously, this place should have a National Trust classification.... Love it."

"The food is absolutely Devine, my new favourite restaurant. Definitely make sure to book though!"

"I finally got to try this place. Whilst i like to appreciate giving people a fair go, i think if the manager has to step in to correct staff in regards to basic customer service something is wrong with this picture! Two of the staff members were obviously backpackers or new to the country, one of them said ill keep the food here on the table as they couldnt take it back to the kitchen for reheating when they brought the food before the drinks. My friend said to them due to dietary requirements, and i even put on the booking form they are gluten intolerant, so they need to drink and wait 30 mins before receiving food. Then another staff member came out and said, "You gave the wrong dish out, and lucky my friend didn't eat it as they would have been very sick. Luckily, the manager intervened and said, "Let them keep the food. Calamity of errors continued when this same friend order her mains and dessert, and they came all at once whilst i didnt get my main until i had to ask for it. I only ordered a salad plus a bowl of chips, which they forgot to give a side of aioli sauce. We didn't receive our drinks until after the food was given, which was strange. On the table next to us, we had this douchebag i dont whether it was a joke or whether he was actually harassing two women. Regardless he made the women leave plus a couple who were going to dine in. Im stunne. Thee staff didnt kick them out. He wasnt funy and chauvinistic behaviour was inexcusable However, the manager was friendly and even discounted my bill even though i didnt complain until now, so i feel conflicted about writing this. Overall, ill go back there but maybe not on a saturday evening."

"Loved it. If we lived in Melbourne we'd live near here. When I asked what beers are available the barman pointed up above to the bar to an extensive row of bottles and cans. I said can I have a long neck of MB? "Sure can" he said. So back to our table I walked proudly with a longy and a wine glass of bubbles for my love."
