    We waited an hour and a half for a meal that was very ordinary. Our children were hungry and frustrated over such a long wait.

    We absolutely loved our lunch. The food was without exception delicious. We sat outside which was a little quieter and our lovely waiter was a very attentive young man without being intrusive. I have been three times recently and it is consistently excellent. Would highly recommend to everyone. Thankyou

    This is a very high standard of regional restaurant. Our comments around the table were that it is a very well oiled machine in every area of the restaurant, and then there was the Store with an amazing arrangement of items to purchase. Every single staff member were amazingly helpful and friendly and polite. I was surprised at how big and varied the different dining locations were both inside and out. I came from Perth and can’t wait to get back to Mornington Peninsula again to go there.

    We met friends for breakfast and having lived in the area for over 30 years I'm a little embarrassed to say this is the first time we've eaten at Merricks Store but it certainly won't be the last time. We were greeted promptly and seated immediatly to wait for our friends. The serving staff brought us a bottle of water and took coffee orders and left menus to peruse. As soon as our friends arrived the staff member was back to take more coffee orders and check if we were ready to order. We chatted and read the menu before orders were taken. When the food arrived we were all served at the same time (pet hate, I do not like having food arrive for half the table while others wait) and the menu did not disappoint. Two of us had the anchovy toast - this was delicious and I highly recommend it. Hubby had a traditional breakfast and cleared his plate, the other friend had the Welsh Rarebit and requested the mushroom be switched out for grilled tomato and again this did not disappoint. The venue itself is lovely with a very rustic charm, lots of space to move about and options for groups I should imagine given the size of the place. It was busy both inside and out as it was a lovely sunny morning, there is a lovely store to peruse if you are so inclined and the coffee is highly recommended!
