Kirks on the Esplanade - Food VIC

Samantha Bunny It was my first experience with tapes. We were welcomed and served with experienced staff. They explained how the dishes come out and the sizing. Food was so lovely and such beautiful flavours I havent had before. The restaurant atmosphere is comfortable and elegant. Nice drink selection with attention to detail throughout the meal. They even accommodated a birthday candle for the dessert as a surprise for my partner.

Kim Tuhega Holy Moly I loved this place. Im a visitor to the area and a friend took me here. Everything was cooked perfectly, we had Lemongrass chicken and Beef pho. One of the best Ive tasted, and super friendly staff.

Greek Aliti First time here for breakfast and totally loved it. Excellent staff and service. Huge breakfast menu that was served up quickly and delicious. Several sections to dine in that have a great atmosphere. Heaters on during a cold morning also helped. Definitely I’ll be returning soon

Two Sheds We’ve eaten here about half a dozen times in the last few years and we’ve enjoyed it every time. My favourite dish is the fish taco. It’s a cracker! The fajitas are delicious too. My companions love the burritos as well. Service is always good and it’s beautiful sitting out the front on the main drag on a nice day. It’s a chain operation but who cares. It really delivers in every way. Bravo

123 Hannah Delicious food and amazing service, could not fault! Beautiful views and interesting sculptures too, would definitely recommend. We enjoyed all courses including crab, octopus, steak and cheeses

Gabriel Schertel Had brunch at The Wavey Cow and left impressed. The food looked clean and well presented. Great mix of flavours and textures. The bacon was crisp, the eggs were soft, and the avocado was fresh and ripe. The grilled cheese had a golden crust and the croquette added a nice crunch. The sourdough was warm and paired well with the relish and butter. The smoothie was thick and refreshing with fresh fruit on top. Portions were generous without feeling heavy. Good balance of protein, fats, and carbs. Service was smooth and the atmosphere felt relaxed and welcoming. Would come back again.

Siri BB We went there for dinner on 02Dec23. The food quality is average. But the service is very poor, I mean waiting to order was very long as there were not many staffs. The waitresses are lovely but they were too busy to give you attention. We were waiting to order the new round for long time. The tables are too packed! Weve been to another Japanese restaurant and we would say OKAMI is better quality. Moreover, the food they were serving is not the same like as shown as in the pictures on menu books. The Sashimi plate is very poor quality. Especially the Hamaji fish. Please see pictures and comparing to the picture in menu book.

Renee Stidston Had a lovely sunday arvo Kilkenny beverage with curry chips while listening to a guitarist singing some popular songs.

sventek Its actually one of those social clubs with a bar, bistro, casino gaming machines etc type establishment, which I didnt realize before arriving as I simply searched for restaurants that served kids menus on maps. But staff were very pleasant and welcoming despite me wearing a t-shirt and active wear 3/4 length leggings (they do have a "neat casual dress" policy so I was thankful they werent too strict about the enforcement so we could dine at the bistro, but will respect this next time!). Theres a kids play area with a couple of arcade games, claw machines and climbing crawl tubes, all in an area separated by see through doors for noise control. Their outdoor deck area is absolutely gorgeous, with running water panels, and a mini river on one side. Food was good too, one of the freshest calamaris Ive had in a while, cooked well (with chips and salad $29.90). Kids menu had nuggets, burger, fish, pasta, calamari, all options come with drink and ice cream ($15). Theres QR codes on tables but they dont work, order at the kiosk next to the bar. Decent toilets, lots of free parking. (As of March 2025)

Munchbrother1 Most definitely a lovely local business who do authentic meals that are tasty and affordable. We will definitely continue to support the team there with more bookings.Monday night pasta night with $20 pasta dishes and $8 wine or beer is a must.
