Best Restaurants for Outdoor Dining in Bentleigh

Having dined at Elwood Bathers many times, the luncheon today can only be described as OUTSTANDING in every way! The Chef and Kitchen team excelled with the King Prawn Sliders and the Fruit di Mare main course, sans prawn and seafood shells, was eye opening and something I have never experienced at any other fine dining establishment in the WORLD! Congratulations and thank you for providing our family with culinary excellence!

We've recently started using Mt Erica as our local. At 5pm it's great for families with young kids. great food options for adults and kids. Food is terrific and consistent and served fast. The Roast Chicken and Chilli Crab Spaghetti are particular highlights. The Chocolate Semi-freddo was a perfect way to finish a meal. Highly recommend.

Hands down one of the best culinary experiences of my life. Every dish is perfectly balanced in flavour, consistency and colour. The quality of the ingredients is exceptional and the wine wilst has no end. Cannot report even the slightest issue, the staff is ready to help on every aspect and with the open space kitchen you can see everything happening all around, very tidy and clean. If I ever come back to Melbourne this will be on my MUST list and I'll definitely recommend this venue to all friends visiting the city.

Nice atmosphere and comfortable booth seating. Menu is small but reasonably varied although would have liked additional salad options (there is only 1) To be honest the food was ok without being outstanding - for the price I would have expected a slightly better food experience. Good sized serves - enough that we couldn't fit dessert in......Steak was perfectly cooked but would have liked a choice of sauces. My partner had the kangaroo which was quite chewy though seemed to be perfectly cooked (med rare) The sides were the best part of the meal. Crunchy roast potatoes and a nice zucchini salad.

Had dinner here on a Tuesday night. Food exceeded my expectations and overall a really nice spot for a drink/meal, particularly when the weather is nice and you are able to sit at a table outside. Recommend
