   Somewhat chaotic dining experience but enjoyed our meals. Nice outlook, good for very casual eating.

   We love Farm Dog Brewery. The food and drinks are fantastic and the overall atmosphere is great. For a beautiful open air dining experience it can’t be beaten. For people with children the lawn area is large for them to run around and have a great day as well

   Had a wonderful lunch with friends at this gorgeous winery. Dining is casual and menu is basic but really tasty. Great value, great fun. Wine is really good and for all you Gin drinkers their distillery is brilliant. A great spot for kids as well. Lots of room to run around safely outside.

   McGlashans used to be our go to place for an informal lunch on the Bellarine when Russell was running it. Was very disappointed yesterday. The Platters are not as good as they used to be, the sea food platter is no longer available and service was very poor. You would think that when delivering shared platters for lunch, side plates for each person would be automatic, but no we had to ask for them. The side plates came out, but no cutlery. I asked for knives, the waitress returned with three, although there were five of us. Go figure! Despite it not being busy the wait staff ignored my attempts to get their attention so I walked around and found where the knives were hidden to get two more. To make it worse it was a very hot day and the air-conditioning did not appear to be on, it was sweltering inside. We mourn the loss of the old McGlashans experience.

   Great spot for food and drinks. You can sample their beers, wines and gins, and try the paddles if you can't decide. The restaurant is simple and rustic. The day we went it was almost 40 degrees outside and the one small air conditioner inside struggled to keep the room cool so that's something that could be improved.

   Fantastic venue. Make dogs welcome. Fantastic beers (dark and the sour our favourites), ginger beer also rates an honourable mention. Food was great, first place we’ve had nachos where the condiments are enough for all the corn chips. Cannot fault.

   Great atmosphere. Can’t say enough how relaxed and friendly the place is. Especially the outdoor areas. The platters were delicious local produce and we loved the tasting boards. We will be back

    Delicious, reasonably priced lunch. A variety of pizzas on the menu along with other good options and plenty of platters to choose from. All the pizzas sounded delicious it was hard to choose. Very attentive and friendly staff. Loved that along with amazing wines you could order cocktails or enjoy the Farm Dog vodka or beers.
