Review Ten Minutes By Tractor Winery & Restaurant - Main Ridge

Delicious food, amazing staff, exquisite ambiance. Really enjoyed celebrating my birthday here today. The head chef and his team did an amazing job at challenging the senses, plating up the unique and ensuring each dish was specially crafted. As a chef myself, I truly appreciate the effort and creativity that was put in preparing this amazing Autumn menu. Thank you for an amazing time yet again! Also, a special thank you to our waitress who remembered my wife and I since our last visit back on 29 July last year!

Unreal experience. Drove down to spend the weekend in the area with my partner and this restaurant was the highlight of our trip. The food here was phenomenal, the service was amazing and the pacing between each course was perfect. Emma(?) Had been taking care of us on the night and she made sure we had everything we needed throughout the night. I will definitely be coming back to try the 8 course menu! We had told them that we were celebrating our anniversary and they even gave us a complimentary dessert! Make sure you dress up though - this place kinda fancy

Was lucky enough to enjoy the 5 course meal here with several friends, definitely worth the drive down from Melbourne. Everything was delicious. Service was excellent and if you are lucky enough to have the chefs table with direct view of the kithen you can watch as each dish is prepared and plated... try not to drool... Courses were spread at just the right intervals with enough time to savour each dish. Definitely not a rushed experience like we see in so many venues now as they try to push through clientele. I'm not a drinker but the drinks menu was significant. The 5 courses were preceded by some delicious bread and several snacks.

EXQUISITE! From the moment you enter you are greeted like you are one of the family! It truly is an experience to behold by all. The 8 course menu with the appropriately paired wines by Xavier the sommelier really made our taste buds sing! Well done guys and girls we will be sure to visit again soon!

Service and staff were amazing. So kind and accommodating. The drinks menu was amazing. Every little detail has been thought out. Napkins are replaced every time you drop one or head off to the toilet (too funny). Meat was cooked to perfection, flavours were spectacular. Vibe was cosy elegant and homely. Best fine dining experience by far.

We planned a couple of days in Portsea & were lucky enough to get a lunch booking. The experience is outstanding - location, ambience, service and of course the food were all above expectations. We were warmly welcomed and seated quickly to get out of the winter cold. The sommelier is probably one of the best in the business - he was attentive and after a chat, gauged your preferences and recommended wines that were spot on - in taste as well as budget! The rest of the service team also worked seamlessly and it is obvious that this is well oiled operation and everyone knew their roles and what to do. The food was presented, explained and devoured by us - 3 hours passed smoothly and not a hitch. A stellar experience and must do experience if you are in the area. But reservations are essential (several tables were sadly turned away as they rocked up without reservations - the look of disappointment on their faces!) Kudos to the team.

Sunday lunch..An Absolutely amazing culinary extravaganza and food for all senses.. We chose the six course menu with wine and everything was fabulous. The elegance and chic really took me back to French high dining of Europe. The French hostess Marie welcomes you and accompanies you to your table. The food was stunning and the service was impecable. The waiters Niki ,Kosma, Noa were simply incredible. Like ninjas, they moved fast and elegantly with utmost efficacy delivering many dishes and making sure all was perfect. The french school of attentiveness and superior service ,where the guest was the King/Queen with ultimate focus on..was not left unnoticed. Loved it indeed. The somelier Xavier was simply amazing with vaste connaissance of refined wines. He will take you to a wine journey around the world ,enchanting you with different flavours and scents of rare finds of wines from different destinations ,pairing every meal with the best suited wine for. The chefs were phenomenal.Creating little chef d'oeuvres in every plate with meticulous precision and consistency. The whole experience was an utter sublime indulgence that i believe should not be missed if you are a foodie or seek an incredible culinary experience. You will not regret it..from the little bites to start with, through all phenomenal courses and the choccolate decadence to culminate your food journey at this memorable place with gastronomic excellence. Hugely recommend to savour this unique gem on the Mornington Peninsula.

Every mouthful was an adventure, a surprise and a delight. I've never tasted anything so delicious in my life. On top of this, the staff were lovely, the chairs comfy, the view tranquil and the environment calm and not overly noisy.

After reading about their bistro in the mornington peninsula map guide, saying they were a bistro open for breakfast, lunch and dinner.... and seeing a huge OPEN sign outside I went in at 1145am expecting them to (reasonably) be open.... the dining room was empty, there were at least 4 waiters there, and I was advised that "they were closed and anyway did you have a booking?". The arrogance was astounding... why would I need a booking for an empty dining room, and why does the sign say open if you're not?? Try harder. We loved Foxeys, I would bet they enjoy the patronage of offended Tracteur visitors regularly. Wouldnt bother with this place again.

The food was just fantastic. So many different flavours bursting from the plates of beautiful food that arrived at our table. The little things like providing extra taste dishes “on the house”, was such a nice touch, made us feel extra special as guests. But...what really stood out most apart from the delicious food was the exceptional professional staff. You have the best service team we have ever experienced. This is what super excellent customer service is all about. We applaud your Chef and his kitchen crew and your awesome floor staff. Standing ovation! Ps. We just loved your cutlery too, where did u get those starter plates??? 😬😃👍🏼👍🏼👍🏼 Thank you and we are hoping for a visit to Petit Tracteur next! xx

Fantastic food and service Very attentive staff and excellent knowledge of their wines Will definitely recommend this place

Went for dinner at a friends recommendation and was blown away. The food was spectacular and each bite was divine. The staff extremely friendly and helpful. This is one place we'll be coming back to again and again.

Have always wanted to dine here but never got around to it. Friends came from overseas so we booked it for a joint wedding anniversary - what a great choice we made! Stunning venue, excellent wines & food to die for with superb & attentive service. 5 course degustation was perfect in every way 5*!!

We had a very special dinner on 28 Jan, the food was exceptional, highlights were the blue swimmer crab and the duck. The service was excellent too, highly recommend for a special occasion.

My wife and I book into the restaurant for lunch to celebrate our wedding anniversary. The service, ambiance, wines and generally the food was excellent. However, there were a couple of things that weren’t up to standard for a high end expensive restaurant of this type, which left us somewhat deflated. 1. TMT have staggered bookings, we were booked in at 12.00pm. However, when we arrived at 12.00pm we were advised that the restaurant wasn’t quite ready for lunch and we would have to wait, 15 to 20 minutes in the gardens or in the wine tasting area whilst the restaurant was been set up. This was a very disappointing start and wine tasting wasn’t really an option for me, as I was driving. 2. We opted for three courses and all courses were very good, apart from my main meal, the aged Gippsland Sirloin. Extremely disappointing, because it was tuff. Certainly not up standard for the prices charged. 3. Finally, when the Bill was presented, it was grossly incorrect. TMT had short changed themselves by over $200.00. When I politely pointed out their mistake, I didn’t even receive acknowlegment or a thank you. We attended TMT because we wanted to treat ourselves on a special occasion. In hindsight, I can only say we left disappointed at the overall experience.

Took my partner in for a Saturday lunch with a couple friends, I could not fault anything with our experience. The food, wine and service were all outstanding. The food was creative and delicious, there were a few little things that added a bit of theatre and excitement to our 8 course degistatiion. The wines we had recommended by our waiter were amazing. I can't wait to go back, my favourite dining experience to date!

Beautiful presentation and service - traditional prepared French food and amazing coffee. We enjoyed salad and frittes! The Tart Tartin was simply Devine served on Marimeko plates. Only strange think was that we could get a food menu till we ordered our wine...well that is what our waitress did.
