My wife and I had an early dinner of excelllent pizza at a very reasonable price for the quality. We were pleased we did not order the large size !!
When paying I discovered my wallet was missing. The staff were incredibly concerned and helpful. Nelson in particular helped us search a market and then insisted on accompanying us to the police station. We can't thank him enough. So if you want a great meal at a reasonable price with fantastic staff and a view to die for do yourself a favour and go to Chill. Ken Holpen
Had dinner there last week, pork belly, rib eye steak, coffee brûlée, all awesome and cooked to perfection, special mention to sous chef Gavin, outstanding service. Will most certainly be back, all the staff had excellent service and professionalism at all times. Got home and fell straight into a food coma! Good times
The best Valentine dinner we ever had. The food was amazing and the desserts was to die for. Thank you very much. We couldn't be happier with the excellent customer service you provide. We definitely coming back again. Much appreciated.
Lovely restaurant. The food was delicious and simple in style but some of the best I've had in the local area in a long time. Service was top notch, couldn't fault anything!
Wow have to say the service my sister and I received last night was awesome...thanks to Erin for been soo understanding and kind towards us both...will definitely recommend Chill restaurant & Bar to anyone ���������
Had a family dinner here and have to say the services was great, the meals were delicious and very filling and the desserts are a must. It was nice sitting next to the fire place will watching the chef's at work.
Sticky dates pudding to die for! Great service- �
Love this place, will be back! The open kitchen is cool. Took my girlfriend here last night, she had goats cheese risotto I had the duck, and we both had deserts. Great food, romantic setting in a private booth and friendly staff.
Great dinner good service the chef was very good and the food was great . I will be back . Jijiji
Bought a voucher in groupon and took a friend here for her birthday dinner. We both really happy with the quality of the foods. We ordered scallops, arancini balls, steak, ducks and dessert with paired wine and all cooked perfectly. Foods are delicious and tasty with high quality.
Positively surpirsed by this place. The restaurant is quiet (not loud) and relaxed, CHILL so to say.
I have been there a few times now and have not been let once by the food. Fresh food and very well prepared. I've tried s&p calamari, tea smoked salmon - scallops - potato gnochi - lamb shank - baramundi and eye fillet. The lamb shank stood out as not being out of the ordinary - still good.
Good food - proper sized servings - with a good atmosphere. The service is just a little bit slow.
Amazing food and service! We went in February and again last week. Would never have thought to eat here, but have already booked to go back again tomorrow for the in laws Wedding Anniversary. It has a special vibe/mood and food is 5 star. The steak was the best I've ever had and was cooked to perfection as were the scallops. Dessert was also divine and done to a high standard. Cant wait to go back tomorrow with the whole family.
Against much skepticism, I was extremely impressed with this place! I would never have come to a hotel to eat, without being on a deal, but I can honestly highly recommend it if you're looking for quality chef cooked meal out in Preston area. The scallops were possibly the best I've ever had, with much interest on the plate like sugar snaps & curried cauliflower. The barramundi on mushroom ragu was so good, a crisp skin & perfectly cooked. The chips were deliciously crisp & well cooked. The best part was the creme brûlée. The almond choc bar was oversold but wasn't great. Bit dry.
Aside from the constantly changing menu, the quality of food is always good and it’s a great place to gather with friends.
I did stop here for the breakfast buffet once when a friend was staying at the adjoining hotel and I’ll be honest, it was very ordinary. But I will assume that the kitchen staff for chill aren’t in charge of the breakfast.

Great menu and a lovely restaurant. Food was quick considering it was packed and service was accommodating. Parking was a bit of a nightmare as the streets around are timed and the hotel attached was full so took us a while.
Like the environment, it was nice n comfortable. Order the beef burger, it was huge. But tasted so good. Get the fat yak for drink, pretty enjoy. Gonna come there again
I had my 60th Birthday Dinner in the Alfresco area in CHILL and what a night!
My guests were blown away with the ambiance of the restaurant, food and service.
The meals weren't just good they were AMAZING! We had 18 guests and they all selected their meals for the night. Meals all came out on time and my guests couldn't stop bragging about the quality food and how good the night was.
I will be back for another fantastic night! - Thank you
With a clear emphasis on utilising the freshest seasonal and local produce, Chill Restaurant and Bar offers a creative yet refined dining experience that not only pleases the palate, but is also bound to satisfy without breaking the bank.
Sporting an approachable menu cleverly designed by the executive chef Philip Garrod, coupled with an experienced team at the helm, you are bound to enjoy a refined and well-balanced dining experience, with a few occasional surprises here and there.
My husband and I recently decided to try Chill Bar and Restaurant after hearing lots of good reports. So glad we did! The restaurant itself was very spacious and tasteful and it was so nice to be seated at a table where you're not crammed in with other diners.
We had three delicious courses and each were superb in their own right. Our steaks were cooked perfectly and the asparagus side was delicious. Our favourite dish however, was the Coffee Creme Brulee!
Apart from beautiful food, the night was capped off by the outstanding service. All staff were friendly and attentive. Highly recommend.
I must admit, as a southsider, I rarely cross up north further than Fitzroy. One of the best/worst things about having such good food choices everywhere is that you don’t often need to leave your bubble of venues that you’ve already found, know and love! One Friday evening however I decided to change that and head out to Preston to check out Chill Restaurant and Bar, located in the Bell City Mantra hotel with a friend and will share that experience with you here.
Yeah food was amazing, oysters were really fresh, love the steak it was striploin, very juicy... the lamb was good too. Kids meals with burger and fish huge serve, and very tasty.
I had a lovely lunch of calamari with a beautiful riesling, which was very well priced. It was a cold day but the sun was shining through and l was sitting by the window in CHILL, made me think of summer. It had a nice relaxing feel to the place.
We live about 15 minutes away and drive past here everyday and finally decided to give it a try. The food was yummy - I had the scallops and slow braised beef cheek which the flavour was amazing! For dessert we had the sticky date which was unusual in presentation but still just as delicious. Good wine list and the service was great also!!
Nice restaurant with good service and delicious food! Ambiance is nice and we sat by the fireplace which was nice and toasty. Loved watching the chefs in the kitchen.
We liked the express lunch menu, $21 with house beverage.
Service was ok. Staff were polite and efficient.
We had calamari and club sandwich, which were huge and delicious.
We went to Chill for a quick dinner prior to the movies last night but wanted to eat something really nice and looked in our entertainment guide and saw a voucher for this restaurant. The mixed reviews on here made me wonder a bit but we decided to give it a go and were pleasantly surprised. We ordered a couple of steaks over the phone before getting there to ensure we weren't delayed for the movie, the steaks come with a couple of potato croquettes and mustards so we got some chips with aioli and green beans with basil and fetta on the side. The mains were nice (though the scotch fillet steak could be better quality for $38) and we saw others getting desert so ordered the chocolate almond bar, with chocolate soil, orange sorbet, berries and meringues. It was fantastic!! We will definitely go back
Great experience with wonderful and attentive service. Food was absolutely delicious and my steak was cooked to perfection! Loved the ambiance and the glasses on the table are weird but funky - l could have stolen one :)
Extremely surprised. I had very low expectations coming here but I'm glad I was proven wrong. A tad pricey but I thoroughly enjoyed several dishes.
Absolutely nailed it. We had our wedding reception here last week and the staff were all perfect. They were super friendly and helpful, and made the experience super simple.The night went off without a hitch, I had their thyme chicken dish, which was excellent! This was surprising given that we had a reservation for over 50 people! They had all of the dishes out to the guests really quickly, with no-one receiving a cold meal or having to wait an eternity to eat.
All in all, a great environment with food to match, thanks to the staff's excellent service.
Steak and Chips yum yum. Beautifully cooked steak! Delicious hand cut chips.
If you were to go make sure you go breakfast/lunch the staff are extremely nice... best service I've ever come across
Expensive but great breakfast love it go
Had dinner there last night, the staff was pretty nice and the food was good as usual.
I loved the restaurant when it first opened but they must changes chefs on regular basis
Today the food is good tomato risotto with king brown mushrooms The red emperor fish and chips great. Service always professional. Will be back!
Service is great. Braised lamb was tender and delicious. Lamb Rump was cooked to perfection, deserts were Chocolate Mouse and Panacotta, simply amazing. Chill is one resturant that is not to be missed.
Still good. Came in a few nights ago, love the food and the ambience..keep it up
A great chill out venue!. We are regular diners at this lovely restaurant and have had a number of birthday events there along with quiet family dinners and lunches. The food and wine list is excellent but the friendly professional service is a stand out. Chill also offers a Generous loyalty card program that we have taken great advantage of. A first choice for us on any occasion.
Very classy, nice atmasphere.... My partner and I love coming to Chill for somthing diffrent & special occasions, we are local we enjoy the restrant and bar Very classy, nice atmosphere and food is nice but a littlie expensive.pool area very relaxixng and a lot of fun.
As locals we go to Chill Restaurant Bar regularly. Went tonight for Wedding Anniversary. Food and service fantastic. Garlic and Parmesan pizza superb, roast duck and buttered chicken amazing. Mushroom side delicious. We are Bell City members and get great discounts. Only $100 for three of us including drinks. We have earned enough points now to get $100 voucher, so next meal will be free. I forgot to mention the presentation, incredibly good tonight.
Keep coming back. I definitely recommend this restaurant. We are locals and absolutely love it. To start with the service is great, the staff are all very friendly. The quality of the food is high without the outrageous price tag. My partner and I love coming to Chill for all our special occasions and happy that we can avoid city traffic. Make sure you save some room for dessert because it's worth it. Have recommended this restaurant to friends and they were also very happy. We keep coming back to Chill :-)
Will go back. My partner and I dined here a few weeks ago and had a really great night. The service was faultless - the food was really awesome - we loved the whole experience. The decor is lovely - I asked when I booked for us to be seated at a quiet table and we sat in a lovely booth in the corner. There are not many nice restaurants this side of town and I would recommend dining at Chill. Not the place to go if you are after a cheap meal - but we felt the quality of food and the service justified the price.
This establishment is an oasis in the desert of the northern suburbs of Melbourne. Whilst it is a tad pricey this can be explained by the lack of any real competition in the vicinity. The food is excellent and professionally presented. The wine list is very good and the service is hard to fault. They have a terrific business lunch which represents great value at $15.00 for a main course. Highly recommended.
Chill Out. Chill is a breath of fresh air for Preston dining but a little ahead of itself in terms of price. The asking price for some of the main menu items is $40+ which is a bit rich. I tried the Eye Fillet ($45) which was a pleasant enough, but certainly not the best I've had (not even close), but could be one of the most expensive. Having said that Chill offers an Express Lunch menu for $15 which offers a wide variety of dishes that would please most and is hard to go passed in terms of quality & price.
You can also join their Bell City program (on the day) which is free and offers you a 20% discount on most purchases at Chill. Overall a pleasant experience with attentive service & interesting decor, however, take away the specials & incentives and you'd be struggling to find a reason to eat @ Chill.
Pleasantly surprised :). Awesome service, yummy food.
Last time I dined here was the end of last year (2010), and left very under-whelmed. Service WAS slow and inattentive and food inconsistent. After my lack of excitement at being invited there this time for a birthday dinner this week, I was impressed from the moment I walked in. Had a great cocktail from the bar, faultless service from our waiter - Stewart(?) and LOVED the twice cooked duck, followed by the Turkish delight with chocolate crumble. Nice atmosphere and seems like the staff are moving around with a purpose and care about their diner's experience. Stark contrast to last time I was here. Will be back for sure.
Really nice quality, tasty food. But I must admit it is priced at a premium
Fantastic place, been there 3 times and loved it every time. Food is amazing, very enjoyable restaurant
