Grand Ridge Brewery — Restaurant in Victoria

I went to have a look at the Brewery at lunchtime and make a booking for dinner if it looked nice. I was greeted very warmly by the staff even though there were only a couple of them with a full dining room. I was at the bar and the beers were lovely and local. Based on all of that I made a booking for dinner for two.

We made our way there for dinner and were greeted very warmly by all the staff. We were offered a choice of tables, but the lovely lady who seated us offered a place near the fire (not too close and not too far away). It was an excellent start just with that touch of attention.

The drinks are ordered at the bar and the meals from the front of the restaurant. Again the staff were fantastic and friendly. The prices were good and very much expected. I ordered the steak and my wife the fish.

When they arrived the food presentation was good. I only eat red meat about once a fortnight/month so I always go to a nice steak restaurant to get a lovely steak.

I have to say that this was one of the best steaks I had ever eaten. The highlight was that it had a smokey slightly caramalised char on the outside, while the steak was tender on the inside that you could have cut it with a spoon. The steak had a great depth of flavour and the fat had been rendered down perfectly. To be honest I wanted to order another one. The steak came with the traditional chips and salad that were both nice.

After the meal we moved to a lovely leather couch in front of the open fire place. Again the couch is the perfect just to sit there and finish off your drinks. Overall give the low price point of the restaurant for the quality of the steak I am going back. My wife liked the fish, but ate my steak as well and loved it.

Overall given the friendly service, the care by the staff, the ambiance and the meals I would recommend the Gran Ridge Brewery!

I have been back several times and I can confirm the consistency of the meals. In particular the steaks are spectacular. On Thursday night there is a steak night. The restaurant is full with numerous happy customers. Again, highly recommended Scotch fillet ever night. Then on Steak night (Thursday night) it is Chef's choice. The steaks are consistently great.

Went to Grand Ridge for a meal with a friend for her birthday. She had Italian Parma and I suffered through the worst Porterhouse "steak" ever. At $34 for 300 grams (about $108 per kg) I should have gone to a $2 shop and bought a pair of Chinese leather sandals to chew on. I've eaten in restaurants around the world and this steak was the pits. I asked for medium rare. It was medium. It was tough as old boots. I ate two thirds only because I was hungry. The remaining third was fat and gristle. I complained to the sympathetic food service staffer who reported back to the "chef". The response was "chef will look into it." Well, I hope he reads this and dumps their beef supplier. I certainly won't be going back and wouldn't recommend it. The single star is for the young lady for...

We held an important family function at the Grand Ridge Brewery, and we were very glad we did so. One of our main concerns was accessibility for those with mobility issues. There is a very easy access ramp, and the whole facility is on one floor. The setting is casual and respectful of the local environment. The rear deck had ample seating and was kept spotlessly clean.

The team members were all very welcoming, attentive, and accommodated all our requirements with effortless professionalism and excellent service. The food was fresh, well-presented, very tasty and catered for all tastes.

I highly recommend the Grand Ridge Brewery Restaurant for an excellent, pub-style meal, and of course, the attached brewery ensures a unique craft beer with which to...
