The aim of our food is to showcase the amazing produce to be had within a 200 km radius of Melbourne. Taking in the Otway’s, Gippsland, and the Peninsula. Whole carcass usage looks at both our primary cuts such as fillet, sirloin, rump and T-bone as well a secondary cuts and offal. A Mornington Peninsula based produce supplier allows us to change quickly with the seasons to present to you a balanced menu. Dry aging is a technique we use at The Breslin which allows the meat to break down with natural enzymes and removes water content from the cut. This technique presents as a very tender piece of meat with good gamey flavours.

Sat outside some noise from neighbouring venue, but that didn’t bother us. Scotch fillet steak very skinny and not overly tender…really wasn’t good value. Sliders were tasty, love the sashimi. A big downer from our last visit was the icy reception from the lad at the door. He may have been the shift supervisor and overworked, made us feel a little uncomfortable!

Very nice food. Manager's service was great. However the waitress needs more training. She ordered wrong meal for us. That was fine. But She took my cutlery away and did not give me new set. Also, when the gentleman asked for the bill, she read out loudly how much we spent and let our guest know. That was a bit weird for this kind of restaurant. Anyway, we can understand that she may be new and Friday night was busy. We may come back again for the nice food and excellent Manager. But not with guests

Service was very slow, food was nice but not worth the money. A $60 steak was chewy, and salad was a handful of parsley. If I’m gonna spend $200 on two mains and 2 drinks, I want to be wowed. Was a serious let down

Heating for outdoor seating could be better. Drinks menu wasn’t provided together with food menu. Food is really good, although the fillet served was more like medium well instead of the medium rare I requested.

A very enjoyable night… Our waitress How was amazing and the food was delicious… How good is a beef Wellington and really well cooked ribs… Second time this year I’ve been there and certainly not the last time. The only thing would be a couple more selections on the wine list but perhaps you could BYO if you wanted something special… Overall definitely recommend Breslin’s

My steak was over-chooked. I asked for Medium rare. They suggested Medium for that type of steak, it came out well done. It was still nice, but a little dry. My girlfriend's pasta had chunks of lemon rind in it which was bitter. If it wasn't for these things it would be 5-star all around.

Decided to come here for my first Mother’s Day lunch. We were sat in the back corner next to an ugly garden bed with empty pots and a plastic plant wall. My cocktail was forgotten and it was almost one hour before I got a drink and I had to ask a few times before it came. Service was awful, had to continually ask for my water glass to be filled (you could at least provide a bottle on the table if you can’t manage to fill when empty). My partners ribs weren’t great quality. Meals were very expensive for what they were. I understand that it was Mother’s Day and that they might be busy however the inside of the restaurant was empty and there were several empty tables on the deck and more than enough staff. Would have appreciated a table closer to the bustle of south wharf instead of the corner and to have a bit better service. Disappointing for my first Mother’s Day. We won’t be back.

Excellent meal however ambience was ruined a little when the barman would smash bottles into the bin as opposed if he just placed them. It was a little off putting to hear a loud smash of glass every 5 min..............

We had been looking forward to dining here for a while and finally got the chance. The evening started a bit frosty with the lady greeting us at the front stand. Maybe she was having a bad day. Once seated the table service was outstanding , food was simple but very well done. Drinks were good value and we didn't have to wait to long. Meals were not shoved in front of you with our waitress kindly asking when we were ready for each service. Can't wait to go back.. Excellent

Service was terrible. Had to ask for service otherwise we’d be forgotten. I can understand if restaurants short staffed then don’t book for max if can’t provide a decent service. Patrons also want a great experience but nights like this leaves a bitter experience.
