Main Ridge Estate — Attraction in Melbourne

It started off with a lovely afternoon. I was greeted warmly by Justin and I sat by myself minding my own business, looking forward to the meals and the experience. Along came the lady with the medium length hair. I think she may be one of the owners.

Oh boy is she a delight! She asked if Justin looked after me. I said he was. Now mind you, if only she left me alone, everything would have been fine. She asked me what I wanted to eat. Then she started to berate me by screeching for the whole restaurant to hear that I possibly can't eat for two. The couple next to me had their mouths open in horror.

First of all , I had no idea what the portion sizes were. Secondly, who is she to dictate how much one should eat? She then started to say that she will make the restaurant pare it back a bit. I advised her that I didn’t have lunch or dinner the night before and that I could eat. Then she said to not worry and that I'll be fed. To say that I was shocked and embarrassed is an understatement.

I feel that you may have robbed me of my money's worth but the $160 you took from me for such tiny food because the lady didn’t think I deserved to eat my fair share is fine. You may need it more than me for the cheap behaviour that your employee has shown. I remained a lady and kept minding my own business. I don't stoop to uncultured behaviour.

Yes, I eat a lot and I am blessed to maintain a lovely figure. I do not wish for her to get into trouble but kindly do your business a favour and watch what you say to...

I can't believe I haven't reviewed this place yet. One of my favorite venues to visit when I come to Rye.

Firstly - the staff are fabulous, and Archie (the little dog) is so cute.

I had my 4th visit on Saturday and the food was exceptional as usual - the spanner crab pasties are always a favorite and the saganaki was perfectly cooked. The side salads were excellent too.

The starter plate with bread, dips and olives is always the highlight for me. This time it included chorizo and potato and we were blown away. So yummy.

We also did the wine pairing for $40.00 per person which I thought was great value as the wines were delicious and the serving sizes were generous.

Ample parking and reasonable prices.

Don't miss this spot if you're...

An absolutely wonderful lunch in a stunning setting, with a great atmosphere and friendly, professional staff. The food was delicious - we had the starters and three meals for four people, and it was more than ample, which meant that unfortunately we didn't have room to try the tempting strawberries and chocolate tart dessert. We sat inside; there's lots of space between tables and we were by a window to the view of the beautiful gardens and vineyard. One guest was gluten intolerant and there was no problem in supplying a gluten-free roll instead of the excellent artisanal bread. I can't recommend this place highly enough; in fact I messaged friends to suggest it before thinking of leaving a review. We will booking...
