We are in town visiting from the US. We went to Meletos for dinner and enjoy the sunset with wine. The venue and grounds is gorgeous. We wish we knew about their hotel and could have booked a night here to stay. The service was excellent. Thank you to the staff for making our visit one to remember forever! read more

Exceptional. This was a family lunch for 10 booked a month before - Meletos had been recommended and it was a perfect suggestion. We arrived on time to a set 3 course meal - the group had dietary concerns and all were catered for - vegan had a special main to replace the land, fish entree replaced with an exquisite artichoke soup for seafood allergy, gluten free dish provided. The entree, main and dessert were just excellent - wine offering was a beautifully pairing. The staff were efficient, friendly and made the meal very enjoyable - the table next to us spilled a drink and the staff were on to it fast and speedy clean up. Dessert and cheese board were local produce and topped off a great meal. Coffee was lovely It was a perfect Sunday family lunch. read more

We had a ten-star experience at Meletos last night. From our delightful server, Millie, to the delicious food to the amazing atmosphere, we felt like we didn't want the night to end. Best experience of our 7 days in Australia (that started in Melbourne) so far. read more

Visiting from Seattle - A wonderful day in the Yarra Valley with dinner at Meletos. Great food and reasonably priced with excellent service. Beautiful setting. Thank you. read more

What a perfect meal! This is the second time I've been to Meletos so I knew I was in for a treat. My partner and I found ourself a little early for lunch but thought it would be the perfect time to get a table without needing to wait. It can get very busy and by 12pm you will be on a long waiting list! We sat down for lunch at about 11:45 and ordered drinks immediately. The staff were extremely friendly, attentive and helpful. They pointed out a few of the favourites and talked us through the specials. We ordered the Hervey Bay scallops, aranchini and Sicilian salami pizza. The scallops were fantastic - melt in your mouth! The aranchini was crunchy and delicious and had a beautiful salsa verde to offset the richness. The pizza was HOT! The taste was incredible but be warned, the chilli was everywhere! We ate every last bite and washed it down with our cider. We opted for a couple desserts also. The pav and the chocolate caramel tart. The pav was the standout though! Perfect zesty lemon and lime with a sherbet surprise. Make sure you finish off with dessert, it's totally worth it. Thanks for another memorable day in the Yarra valley! read more

Great restaurant with delicious food! The staff were very lovely and efficient with meals coming out quickly. The scenery was also beautiful. Would recommend read more

Unfortinately I was very underwhelmed with Meletos. The setting was lovely and i know we are outside Melbourne so its hard to get good staff, but you can still serve the whole table (4 guests) at the same time! Not 20 mins apart. You can still get everyone's drinks orders at the same time! The food for the others, bar mine, was very unexicting as well. A real shame read more

This was a horrible experience. The waiting time is extremely long. The waiting staff were not helpful. The food! My goodness! The lamb shoulder was 10 hours old. It was virtually turning into crude oil. Horrible experience. read more

This restaurant is located on a beautiful farm and the views are wonderful. The decor of the restaurant itself is airily and light and almost perfect. Unfortunately the food was pretty average. Also the service wasn't amazing. My son who is 5 loves grilled fish fillets and won't eat battered fish. There was a $36 barramundi fillet on the menu which I asked to be served just as a plain fillet, no butter etc. I had a very long conversation with the waitress about this because she was very sure that the chef would not serve the fish without the butter. Luckily the chef must have been in a good mood and was willing to not pour the butter over the fish. I had the mussel soup which had 3 mussels in it. Other people in my party had pizzas and my husband had the orecchiette which he said were delicious. For dessert we had the salted caramel and chocolate tart which was not amazing. Would I be back? Maybe, the location and scenery is probably enough to get me back there. read more

I have been to Meletos three times now and whilst I love the building and location, there are a few criticisms. First, the music is too loud....combined with the noise created by an acoustically challenged space it is impossible to have any conversation. It is such a relief to go outside for a coffee! Second, the ceiling windows make parts of the restaurant unbearable when the sun is shining....we were placed at the back on a recent visit and I could not bear the sensation of being slowly fried. The food is what you would expect at an innercity pizzeria with the bonus of amazing views and plenty of room to stretch out, so it is an enjoyable place for lunch or socialising with a crowd. read more

Great location, just off the main road. The decor is fantastic. A bit loud with a party feeling (clashing with the hipster attitude of the staff ). The Britt pop was blasting through the speakers. Definitely catering tourists like me. Cider is the name of the game here. Dishes are expensive a tad elaborate and on the pretentious side of things. But the massive oven should direct you to ask the pizzas.... Had a pork fennel and capers one. ok but far from exciting. Will I return? Sure, why not, but not rushing back read more

Meletos is our special treat place. When we want delicious food and a special dining experience we come here. We were married at Stones of the Yarra Valley so there is lovely nostalgia attached to this venue and the views are stunning. The pricing is reasonable but a good meal for two will easily cost $100 plus beverages (depending on how big your appetite it!) There are also great pizzas here which are moderately priced. Would recommend for a lovely day out. read more

Fantastic venue, even better food and the staff are some of the best I've seen in terms of hospitality. If your looking for a good venue to chill have a few beers and have a decent feed meletos is the place for you :) read more

We had a quick snack here: oysters, fries and a sampling of cider from Napoleone Cider Brewery next door. Can't vouch for the rest of the food but the fries were really good! Oysters were a bit expensive but on par cost wise with other restaurants. The atmosphere was perfect. Beautiful, rustic restaurant in the middle of wine country. read more

Unfortunately, Meletos isn't offering the best quality of service to its guests. We were told recently that all brides and bridesmaid are not allowed to bring any make up artists into the hotel for pre-wedding preparations. Despite the beautiful photos of your rooms, hearing this rule set by the manager/owner is just absurd. This has given plenty of past brides and bridesmaids difficulties in preparing for their weddings. To have a high standard of quality of service is not to keep away unforeseen noise or chaos of weddings but to ensure all guests were treated with respect and given with extra attention to details and comfort. It is a huge disappointment to discover this set of rules imposed by them. It is also the first time I've ever heard of such rule imposed by a hotel. read more

I tried to make a booking for 5 people online 6 weeks ahead of Easter Saturday. The website said to call in order to book for 5 people, so that's what I did. When I called them, the girl advised me that they don't actually take bookings for weekends and to simply come in on the day and put our names down for a table and enjoy a drink while we wait. I was unconvinced by this and said to her that I was worried that we'd be waiting for hours or not get a table at all and might be better off to book elsewhere. She was very reassuring that if we wanted to avoid a longer wait, to arrive at 2pm as they start to quieten down by that point and that we would certainly get a seat for lunch. That's exactly what we did today, we arrived just after 1:30 only to be told that they're "fully booked". When I asked her how long until we could get a table, she said that we would not be able to get one at all. I came down from Sydney to enjoy Easter lunch with my mum who has just recovered from cancer and had I known that this would happen, I would have simply booked elsewhere 6 weeks ago. I'm sure the food is great and what little I saw of the venue looked amazing, but this was a crap experience and I refuse to ever go back somewhere that places such little regard on giving correct info to its clientele. read more

Hmmmm, its a nice venue. Pizza is ok. Just lacks something.....try it. I guess they need a little professionalism. All I all we had nice meal. read more

Grounds are beautiful, food was good, venue is airy & loud. Service was AWFUL / had to ask wait staff 5 times to bring me water.

Amazing food & service! If you have Kids then get a table outside (if its a nice day of course) The kids had the opportunity to run around while taking in the spectacular view! read more
