Recently dined here for a romantic getaway. Food was lovely. Everything cooked to perfection. But the serving staff need to improve their game. Our water wasn't filled up regularly and staff not knowledgable about the ingredients. They need to learn to pour wine properly. Maybe there has been a change in management. It was a pretty quiet night so maybe I was expecting too much. However the food here is what brings us back.
Lovely weekend away at Chateau Yering courtesy of husband's work for all the late nights he does (loving the reciprocal partner perks of his job!). Part of our package included dinner at Elenore's, the Chateau's dining room. We both had the spanner crab gazpacho for entree, he had the whiting for main, while I had the wagyu, and for dessert we shared both the chocolate delice and the citrus panna cotta. Food was Devine! Atmosphere was very prim and proper (the place is decked out like it's the 1890's) but the service was warm and friendly. Would go back for another weekend away. Neetz88
If a place is more renown for their wine than their food ... Well there's a reason. The food wasn't bad but it just wasn't very tasty. It's as though the chef had an aversion to salt. Presentation was beautiful though and their wine pairings were excellent and truly enjoyable.
Service was very slow the day we went and the waiter warned us about that so at least we got a heads-up. It took us 4 hours for 3 courses. We'd normally only take that long for 8 course degustations or something and I almost fell asleep by the time dessert came around.
We had the following:
1) Wagyu tataki entree: small portion. Nice mustard sauce but the meat slices themselves were quite bland. 3/5
2) pork belly entree: very nice crackling - one of the least salty cracklings I've ever tasted which I actually liked. I don't like crackling that's overly salted but my dining partner was not a fan and started lathering large amounts of salt on it. Not too oily despite it being pork belly. Sauces were a bit bland. 4/5
3) 200g sirloin steak: steak was pretty bland. Sauces were too sweet. A little overcooked for medium rare. 3/5
4) pan fried John Dory fillets: generous portion. Smelt fishy at first but it wasn't when you actually ate it. Very well done. The bean purée was very bland but the chef actually seasoned the fish this time so thumbs up. 4/5
5) chocolate brownie: beautifully presented and came together well. 5/5
6) cheese platter: 4 different cheeses of which two were OK, 1 was bad and 1 was inedible. But nothing wrong with the cheeses themselves, I think I just don't like goats cheese. It's too overpowering and smells too much like animal. Dehydrated grapes were nice but they had seeds in them, which I wasn't expecting. Walnuts were really nice ... They had this subtle sweet caramel on the outside but my dining partner said it was all in my head and it definitely wasn't caramelised. 3/5
Hands down best restaurant in the Yarra Valley. We had the degustation with matching wine which was just delightful. The Moreton bay bugs went down beautifully with a carefully selected wine from Spain. My main of snapper just melted in my mouth and was topped of with the most beautiful creme brûlée. Bravo. We will be back again and again. Service was on point
Amazing. We spent a weekend here and celebrate a birthday dinner here. It was absolutely amazing. Of course we chose the full chef degustation. Everything was cooked perfectly and the tastes and textures were superb. The accompanied wines were brilliant and match the menu perfectly. Well done team we thoroughly enjoyed the night.
Alain and Kim. The setting was amazing and we were there for three hours sharing our bottle of decantered wine. Three hours went quick and felt like one hour while we talked and the ambiance was accomodating. Service was very friendly and they topped the glasses up timely. The three pallet cleansing amuse bouches were just great and complimentary as we had salmon before the entrée, panna cotta before dessert and after dessert the locally made chocolate balls which were sublime with a crunch and melted out into the mouth.
The two entrées were very good, one prawn bisque and the other pork belly. The mains were cooked beautifully rare and tender, duck and lamb which included kicks of different vegetable flavours to the mouth. The desert was incredible and was decorated beautifully as a deconstructed pear for one and cheesecake for the second. The individual sweet, then icy cold fruity, crunchy and soft textures and chocolate flavours hit the tongue at different times and it gave incredible sensations compared to visually experiencing fireworks.
Thanks to the hospitality, the ambiance and the chefs, we had a great night of fine dining which made Kim's birthday even more enjoyable.
We would recommend to go there again.
Fantastic night out, excellent service from some very kind and down to earth staff. Classy without being snobby. Amazing food, swordfish entree and suckling pig were delicious. Venison was wonderful, sirloin was a tad dry. Pre-entree and pre-dessert tasters a delight as was dessert. Will be heading back here very, very soon.
Fantastic food and wine in a beautiful and elegant restaurant. Eleonore's is one of my favourite places in Victoria.
