Die besten Restaurants für Geburtstage in Mornington

Enjoyed our meals with the usual great staff service.

We arrived here almost by accident. The places we "usually" go to locally were booked out for the times we wanted to dine - since it was Valentine's Day. But it was a very happy accident. Bistro 1 is a brilliant place to dine and celebrate. The staff were attentive, but not intrusive; the menu interesting; the ambiance modern and spacious. The wait staff were very knowledgeable and enthusiastic about the menu. So my partner's main course was barramundi, instead of the rockling she'd initially favoured. It was great advice. We began with a grilled calamari entree, which was lovely; tender and smoky, like a barbecue. For my main course, I chose the spaghetti marinara. It was, quite simply, the best I've had in years: mussels, scallops, prawns and fish chunks topped by a whole crab. Spectacular, and delicious. We shared a lemon meringue pie for dessert; tangy and delicious, topped by a pompadour of singed meringue. We could feel the happiness and enjoyment from other diners around us; they spoke to neighbouring tables about the treats from what they ordered. Valentine's Day 2025 was our first visit to Bistro 1. It certainly won't be our last.

The staff were so friendly, the food was so amazing my only regret was I couldn’t possibly finish the portion size

Absolutely amazing. Fantastic service (Charlie was outstanding) the owner and head chef were great to say hi to and have a chat with at the end of the evening once service was finished. Overall and outstanding experience and we will be back many many times.

Very good food and very efficient service from friendly staff
