Had the calamari for entree, it came out cold & then had seafood pizza, which was not too bad but had a lot of chilli powder on it, I would much rather have real chilli in the tomato sauce. My husband had the steak & for the price he said it was just passable, not very impressed, ambience here is... More

Food and service were good enough. I had the seafood linguine main. My wife had the Entree mussels. My main linguine serve was a bit small and oily but tasty enough. My wifes serve of mussels was a bit light on (six mussels for $16.95 allowing for the empty shells that were served). The waiter gave her a free glass... More

This restaurant had a lovely ambience and was very clean with fabulous service. We liked the french waiters and bar staff who went out of their way. A full house so must be very popular.

We visited the Lorne Ovenhouse in Jan and had a fantastic family meal. The service was attentive and very friendly. The pizzas were wonderful with options that catered for both ours and our children's tastes. The starters of dips and halloumi were very yummy. Very good value. The Ovenhouse has also on other occasions when Lorne is very busy, happily... More

We dined here a number of times during a recent stay in Lorne. It's a well-run family business, with fantastic food (the lamb was divine) and friendly and efficient service. We had brekky here also, very good coffee, lovely eggs and muesli was terrific. Also very happy with the wine list.

We booked the set menu New Years Eve Dinner and were not disappointed. $80 a head and included sparkling wine, appetisers, entree, main and dessert. On arrival we were provided with numerous glasses of a good Australian sparkling wine (Brown Bros), great appetisers (smoked salmon, olive tapenade, white bait with a sensational spicy aioli, and stuffed mushroom caps - all...

So yummy french food. All the way good, staff friendly, helpful. Chef was very kind to make us a take away pizza one of the nights. Posh deco! No need to dress up, but sophisticate in a way. However, expensive.
