I had lunch with my partner at Max's yesterday and was amazed at the food view and service. It was Sunday so Max's offers a a la cart menu, three course for just $80.00. The value is unbelievable. If you ever get down to the Mornington Peninsula do your self a favor and have lunch at Max's. We will be... More

We were lucky enough to celebrate our Wedding at Max's with 40 of our closest friends and family a few days before Christmas and it was beyond fabulous. From the gorgeous views across the bay to the stunning food and wine to the most fantastic staff - we could not have wished for anything more. The attention to detail was... More

It was one of my most memorable dining experience! I found this place when searching for a restaurant at a winary. It looked good and the menu looked amazing. Tucked away on the hill away from the busy mornington peninsula, we drove there for lunch. It was amazing. The wine tasting was fantastic, the atmosphere was lovely and the meals... More

took my girlfriend on a one day trip to Mornington Peninsula. It was a fairly spontaneous thing - I realised it was our 5 year anniversary one day before. I called Max's and was able to get a last minute reservation for lunch (10 points for that!) couldn't have chosen a better day for the trip. the sun was shining... More

We went on a very busy holiday Sunday and had the 3 course menu. My expectations were probably very high as the chef was award winning and the restaurant had won awards. We’d also been recommended the place by a relative. Perhaps due to our high expectations we were mildly disappointed by the experience. The wine was beautiful but it... More

The restaurant is located adjacent to the Red Hill Estate winery. Wine tasting before lunch or dinner is a must. The view across the vineyard is beautiful. On fine days, the outdoor seating will be superb. We came for lunch on a fine sunny day in late February. We were lucky we consulted Max before we came, so he recommended... More

Has been a while since I've been at a restaurant that got pretty much every meal perfect. Four adults, four kids... we initially were outside but it was cold and windy - the staff moved us inside with no complaint at all. The kids had their kid's meals and were given sheets of paper to colour in. For an entree... More

We went to Red Hill Estate for a tasting in the wine cellar and then onto lunch for four. The service provided by Gary to the table was excellent. The chairs were comfortable and the food was an excellent standard. We would go back just to have the oysters again. The most outstanding meal was the pork belly which literally... More
