Emerald City - Food VIC

Jason Lee Absolutely loved this place!! My wife and I visited here for celebrating our wedding anniversary. The atmosphere and environment of the place was amazing, all waitstaffs were very friendly and professional: consistently checked back with us, so we felt so well looked after from them. The foods and beverages were absolutely stunning! For entrée, we had a three cheeses flatter. As were a huge fan of cheese, we absolutely loved the quality of the cheeses, with a biscuits, fig jam, and sultanas. For main, we had a porterhouse steaks, and it was absolutely delicious as well, and it was a definitely winner for us tonight! The size of cut was a little bit smaller than what we expected. However the quality of the meat was absolutely beyond the size matters. Especially with a paris mash, dijon mustard, three day jus with oyster mushrooms combination were definitely worked together so well! A big shout out to the chefs in the kitchen! Lastly, we had a "Buttery Nipples" (butterscotch schnapps with a Baileys), and a trio of the seasonal sorbets for a dessert: chocolate, lemon, and black current. Very highly recommended, and we will be definitely go back here!

Phil Lake Just... what a place!!! Stunning setting, beautiful building and fantastic wines. We were there on a Monday afternoon so it was relatively quiet, which was nice. They have stunning rosé and we did the premium tasting, which at $30 was incredible value. Kitchen was closed but they brought out some crackers. Superb service and knowledge from Mr Norwich (didnt catch his name)... cheers from the Tractor Boys and Girls!!

Amir This dish was an absolute delight! The plate was beautifully balanced with a generous serving of tender, slow-cooked shredded meat that was packed with flavour and perfectly seasoned. The fries were crisp and spiced just right, adding a comforting crunch alongside the soft, warm pita bread. The fresh greens and creamy dollop of herbed yogurt sauce brought brightness and freshness, while the smoky red dip at the base tied everything together with a rich, savoury kick. Not only was the presentation vibrant and inviting, but each element complemented the others perfectly—crispy, soft, fresh, and savoury all in one bite. A hearty, satisfying meal that leaves you full but wanting to come back for more. Highly recommend!

Shah Asghari Just as the name suggests Gracious. The food was great, the staff was gracious, welcoming and accommodating. The food was good, the ambience was great. The kitchen staff obliged with our request to avoid cross contamination of meats and prepping on clean grills. The burgers and fries were the highlight. They also have a museum and gallery there. One thing I noticed out of the norms was that how clean the place was. So clean I took a pic of their wash basin lol. Great experience overall.

Kaz Jack (HyeProfile) As on the the most famous vineyards in the region, offering premiere wine tastings, this estate is perched over endless rolling hills, with manicured rows of vines stretching toward the horizon. A well-stocked shop offers their estate wines as well as wines from neighboring/collaborating estates in the Yarra Valley. The restaurant is also very popular, with a design feels futuristic yet warm, offering a dining experience where the architecture is just as sophisticated as the menu.

Duncan Shepherd Genuine 5 stars across the board. The food was delightful and not expensive. The ambiance was lovely and the staff were warm and friendly. Will be back for sure to try more menu items!

Michael Buckmaster Visited thanks to an invite from a friend. Excellent place if you have a child under 5. The children’s space is excellent. Top marks on the food. I had the loaded croissant, my wife the Swedish Rosti and kids pancakes for the little one. We will coming again!
