VUE Restaurant 1 Settlers Run, Botanic Ridge, Victoria 3977

"food was ok, service was good but very, very noisy environment. The place is small, low cielings and surrounded by glass windows plus drunk yobbos competing to speak over each other. The private room looked ok to hire, but for an intimate dinner or a family catchup, find another place"

"My mum had her 70th here with one of the banquet menus, we were all very impressed with the level of care from the staff (thanks Stephanie) and the food was lovely. Beautiful views over the golf course, and even though there were renovations occuring it didn't impact our experience."

"What a joke! We played a round of golf on an amazing golf course surrounded by million dollar houses on a Saturday then decided we'd come back later for dinner only to find an empty restaurant serving below par pub food at fine dining prices. Really pathetic! Servers were rude and more interested in chatting amongst themselves and the food was no better than the dirt on the golf course. Such a shame. The potential is there."

"30/01/2022 @ 12:30 Was a great experience to have! The food was a little pricey but well worth it, as was the atmosphere. Was a little lacking in service but probably due to popularity. Would certainly recommend you give this place a try for the above average occasion. For further details read below :- Customer and Table Service: Was very good, usual service was provided. Drinks to start, allowed 10 minutes to enjoy the conversation, asked for order, 5 minutes for entrée then 10-15 minutes for mains (very good). Only negative point, we were not checked on throughout the main course, however it was very busy at this time. Food: Barramundi Spring Rolls (Entrée), Bang Bang Chicken, Settler's Catch, Grass Fed Porterhouse with Peppercorn sauce, Caramel Praline Cone (Dessert) - Pictured Couldn't really fault the quality of the food, it was delicious and moreish. With the exception of the Porterhouse which i thought the potato gratin would have been larger, all plates were a good size for an eager stomach. The only exception was we did order a medium-rare, and received a medium-well, it was quite possible that we were misheard. Was still tasty with the sauce. Atmosphere: The restaurant has a very large scenic view of the golf course and a nice fine dining atmosphere. Very clean in its black, white and grey with wood grain. Additional: There is a dress code, no ripped jeans, no thongs or hats."

"The food was excellent. Coffin Bay Oysters were spot on. They were genuine and fresh. Apart from the odd ridiculous nose sticking out above the mask, the staff were good. Green, not entirely logical, or knowledgeable, but courteous, polite and seemingly efficient. All dishes were good. Well thought out menu. Good choices, plenty of choices yet not too many. Chef knew what s/he was doing. Eye fillet was perfectly timed and served rare. It's unfortunate that this venue is the first one I've chosen to mention this next point: I honestly fail to see why I should pay restaurant prices and not get table service. Aside from the prices, it's a bistro and should be titled as such. Yes, the food was expertly cooked and presented, but I'd rather go to a restaurant if I'm paying restaurant prices, where I'd get table service and a pleasant atmosphere and decor. Also (small maybe, but not): The menu had an error where it states patrons get a choice of wine with the steak, where it means 'wine ju'. Added to that, when I enquired, they only had one Shiraz to offer anyway, despite a dedicated wine list that listed other wines. I wouldn't go back, but the food was perfect all round."
