Tripadvisor’s approach to reviews
Before posting, each Tripadvisor review goes through an automated tracking system, which collects information, answering the following questions: how, what, where and when. If the system detects something that potentially contradicts our community guidelines, the review is not published.
When the system detects a problem, a review may be automatically rejected, sent to the reviewer for validation, or manually reviewed by our team of content specialists, who work 24/7 to maintain the quality of the reviews on our site.
Our team checks each review posted on the site disputed by our community as not meeting our community guidelines.
Learn more about our review moderation.

We went for dinner as a couple visiting the area, and the previous reviews lived up to the expectations massively! We had the steak and it was cooked so so perfectly, the service was immaculate. One thing I would say is, if you’re ordering the...steak be prepared for about 5 chips, they were delicious but not enough on the plate! Overall we loved it and would definitely recommend :)More

We walked up on a Friday night and were able to get a table for two - service was very friendly and attentive. We ordered the duck spring rolls and the salt & pepper squid from the grazing menu, and shared the panang curry. It...was all beautifully cooked and I will definitely be going back next time I'm in Healesville.More

Stumbled across this gem whilst planning a Fathers Day weekend in Healesville for our little family. Beyond impressed from the smiling & welcoming faces despite us walking in 1/4 of an hour late for dinner… to the table service, atmosphere, menu and drinks selection… not...to mention feeling blissfully satisfied after three scrumptious and impressive courses without the food coma or guilt. Quality on every level! Thanks again Toby and team-Herd. Won’t stop taking about you guys, ever!!More

Awesome spot. Food is next level brilliant, from a duck and mushroom pie, through a massaman curry, via soft shell crab and beautiful eye fillet. Finish with chocolate souffle, lemon curd tart or just another Toolangi shiraz. Yum. Great staff too, professional, funny and on...point.More

AMAZING SERVICE and great food! Asian/Thai style food! Lachy was our main server for the evening, and created an inviting and comfortable environment. Asked us where we were from, why we were there, and was really personable. 10/10 service from the start. He explained the...Herd Bar & Grill, and the menu to us very well. All the staff checked in on us regularly to make sure our drinks were full and needs were met. We tried the Duck Spring Roll, Leek & Cheese Croquettes (to die for, coming from someone who doesn’t love cheese..!), Salt & Pepper Squid, and the Eggplant Chips. Everything from the grazing menu was great! My husband had a Burger and I had an Eye Fillet Steak - the hand cut chips were the best! Highly recommend! For dessert I had the Chocolate Mousse, which was amazing! Hubby had the Lemon Tart which he said had an amazing crust. We both had some local ciders. All in all a wonderful meal and 10/10 service! My only suggestion is a few more options for the main meals, but the menu and service you can’t fault!More

Words fail me! First of all to find a restaurant open on a Monday night was such a relief! The owner was so kind and a pleasure to chat with along with all his staff! The menu was amazing and we appreciated all the advice...given to make the best selection! Entrees were delicious! Smoked trout leaf wraps and duck spring rolls! We knew we were in for a treat and ordered snapper and pork belly . Absolutely divine scoring a 10/10 . Normally we don’t order desert but we couldn’t resist and enjoyed the Le min curd tart!! Simply the best!! This is a must do experience when visiting the Yarra Valley🌈❤️ Thankyou Herd!!More

Our family had the most wonderful dinner at Herd Bar and Grill! We were fortunate to be served by Aysha who was absolutely delightful in greeting us, explaining the menu and offering suggestions when we asked. Her service was faultless. And the food was soooo...good! The porterhouse steak was the best we’ve had in a very long time, the snapper dish was the yummiest fish meal I’ve ever eaten and our children devoured their chicken enthusiastically! We visited numerous wineries and other fine dining restaurants in our travels around Victoria and this was our favourite meal both for the food and the service - highly recommend!More

Great restaurant, very accommodating and awesome food and cocktails. We were a bit rowdy upon arrival but Lachlan welcomed us and looked after us and at the end of the night after some delicious food he offered to drive some of our group back to...accommodation as a really lovely gesture. Family owned and run restaurant and highly recommend. I will definitely go back one day .More
