dining here and having the degustationmenuwith matching wines is seriously next level.amazing service, wine knowledge, food and decor. couldn’t fault the place. thank you for all the added special treats on our wedding anniversary.

absolutely loveeeee this place. the chandeliers spread over the ceilings are stunning in pics and in person too.

we had their degustationmenuand my favourite was their salad. i was super surprised because they turned a simple salad into something magical - it was so refreshing and tasty. the rest of the dishes were great and had amazing flavours.

doot doot doot is definitely the perfect place for a romantic dinner 💓

what a lovely experience! i would recommend any foodie who enjoys full or adhoc wine pairing this wonderful degustation menu.

attentive staff, big tables and comfortable chairs. we were greeted warmly (even though the air conditioning was very cold in there) to our seats.

detailmenuwith the option to order suggested pairing (instead of the full pairing) is also a fantastic option not too many others allow. i had a cocktail to start and then chose one of the pairings with my main. can’t fault it!

we ordered extra oysters which were a little tiny but then i suppose it depends on where it’s sourced on the day. all the ingredients used were fresh and suited for summer. there were quite a lot of mint being used in ourmenubut i enjoyed it thoroughly. a special mention is worth for their potato bread. we love the texture so much we had two serves of it.

they also cater for our food allergies / restrictions beautifully. i would love to come and try theirmenuagain when the season change.

the open kitchen is a little far from us so we could see the bustling but it wasn’t as close as we could see our dishes got done.

very enjoyable experience - recommends all occasions including celebrations, dates and also family outing. it is degustation so please be mindful you can’t choose your dishes but what was served was absolutely fascinating.

it’s a hit and missmenuwith some dishes elevated by the wine pairing...was playing with a 3 or a 4 because food was 3ish but we had excellent customer service especially rob the entertaining sommelier who got us on to harry’s mussels at flinders pier! romantic ambience and beautiful ceiling but tables along the couch are close together and unfortunately we were seated next to loud, foul mouthed guests arguing at the table and yelling which interrupted most of our evening. dessert was an absolute stand out - well balanced. prawns and carrots was also a deliciously surprising pairing.

superb all the way. amazing service, knowledgeable staff, exceptional food. excited to go again with a newmenuevery 5 weeks. well worth the drive

lovely experience at ddd celebrating our anniversary at the jackelope.

the restaurant serves a five coursemenubut we were pleasantly surprised by the complimentary extra starters (palate cleansers), the delicious sourdough bread rolls and the pre-dessert. service could be faster between courses, make sure to book yourself a good 2-3 hours for dining.

ambience is darker and intimate than rare hare and without the wine yard views.

my key three pointers
* don’t have the vineyard views but look up and you get spectacular lighting feature.
* i definitely understand how this made 28 on the delicious guide for 2018.
* i love good food but when you get it paired with wine it becomes magical.

the service is exactly what you would expect when you fine dine. perfection and attentive but not intrusive. you go for the experience , if you don’t like an explanation of what you are eating and drinking then maybe not for you. however, the knowledge the staff have about wines and the food is exceptional and i do find it fascinating.

occasionally i love dinning in style and not having to order, just eat what your given and don’t stress your in good hands. i have this perception that there is a possibility we may need fast food afterwards but we had a great amount and left extremely satisfied. 5 course setmenuand the option to add some things like oysters and cheese. themenu is seasonal and ever changing, i’m not going to say much about the food other than it was as fresh and delicious as you could imagine. the plates were so pretty i could have just stared at the plate and been happy. i’ll let the photos speak.

the decor is definitely elegant and at night the lighting is magical. i would definitely opt to go at night rather than during the day. the one thing i did not love is how the hotel guest including myself walk through the restaurant to get to their rooms. i found it a little distracting and uncomfortable, your eating then people are carrying bags to check in and out. very small fault but if you were not staying at the hotel and paid good money you may feel a tad annoyed.

after dinner the fun does not end experience the cocktail lab and play some billiards. overall it was a fantastic experience. we also got to have breakfast and that was also amazing

what an amazing experience at ddd! the most perfect five course dining experience + an exquisite cocktail pairing (and non-alcoholic pairing - yes that’s right) !!! with a seasonalmenuyou know that they only use the best of the best ingredients. i must admit though my favourite part of the restaurant was actually the toilets - completely blown away and impressed (but i’ll save that story for another time 😂). the restaurant takes attention to detail to another level. my friend and i decided to choose one of each mains to share as there were two options available. we did not mention this to the wait staff directly however they were able to pick this up from our indistinct chatter and brought us two share plates for the mains! (again - impressed). all the wait staff were also very knowledgeable and the meals were very well paced! honestly the place really speaks for itself - minimalistic, but sophisticated. elegant and refined with the ‘just right’ low-lit ambience that is both warm and inviting. can not recommend this place enough!

i chose to celebrate my birthday at doot doot doot, mostly because i’d been wowed by their resplendent ceiling and impressive interiors and wanted to experience the ambiance of their award winning architecture firsthand. i personally tend to dislike degustation menus as i’m somewhat fussy and don’t enjoy the lack of choice.

service was relatively attentive and we started the 5 course meal with some bread and snacks (an additional complimentary course). there was also the option to add on oysters for an additional cost. albacore tuna was the first course which i enjoyed (themenuchanges every six weeks) other than the hit of wasabi which i’m not a fan of.

second course was heirloom carrots. this was probably the prettiest dish we were served but i just don’t think the liquorice flavour worked with it. maybe it’s because i don’t like liquorice in general but i found it overpowered the sweetness of the carrots and frankly it’s a polarising taste regardless.

the third course was duck. i have always been psychologically adverse to eating duck but i attempted to give it a try. it was not at all tender which then made it physically difficult to swallow in addition to mentally- my husband finished this course for me.

the fourth course was definitely my preferred (probably because we finally had a choice) as it was the main we were able to select, although i use the term main lightly as the portion was still quite small, i opted for the flank with sweet potato cream. again, this was beautifully plated but it wasn’t quite what i expected as themenuhad listed horseradish and while this is quite a punchy flavour i didn’t detect a hint of it.

the final course was dessert which was a black sesame and mandarin dish. these are not flavours i enjoy and wouldn’t be something i would ever order. my husband did enjoy his however (and mine). overall i’m glad we visited for the atmosphere and stunning setting but i found themenuquite hit and miss

we had the pleasure of celebrating my partner's 30th birthday here and i still feel so blessed that we made the right decision on a restaurant beyond fit for this occasion. we feasted on the delightful 5 coursemenuaccompanied by a few added additions compliments of the kitchen.

every course was more delectable and complementary to the last, gradually building up to what was a perfect dessert in my mind.

to add to this, the service was the best we've had in the longest while, all bubbly and personable people working the floor and ensuring our every request was met. it really creates a whole new standard for fine dining on the peninsula, incomparable to any others out there.

thank you so much! we cannot wait to come back and try the other seasonal menus.

went here for my anniversary dinner and it was simply amazing. from the minute we stepped in, the architecture, interior and ambience felt like a dream. we were greeted by friendly waiters and waitresses who were attentive, entertaining and informative. we had the 5 course degustation but couldn't help but add on more. it felt more like a 10 course degustation. the food was definately different with themenuchanging seasonally but nevertheless it was still good. we enjoyed trying new foods and combinations that we would have never tried elsewhere. if you're contemplating on trying doot, doot, door..my advice...do it!

one of the nice restaurant to try when you visit balnarring, mornington peninsula. the restaurant looks very nice and clean. i would recommend this restaurant for couple who are looking for a lovely or romantic restaurant to dine out! the restaurant served 5 course degustation. most dishes were delicious, especially the murray cod and saltbush, it was beautiful and very delicious. the dried saltbush was tasty and fish was perfectly cooked! the duck dish was a little bit rare and it would be good to cook a little bit longer. dessert was below average, because there were too much white chocolate, nuts and lots of crumbs! so it was too sweet! the service was very good, waitress was very friendly and polite. the food price is reasonable for 5 course degustation. this degustationmenuis only last for a few month, so i would try it again once they have changed the new menu.

absolutely amazing - beautiful interior and delicious food. doot doot doot is an experience and i would certainly come again. i must say - it is not the most creativemenui have ever seen and the dishes were a little simple but for the fact that it was fairly priced considering it is in mornington peninsula which i haven’t expected as the venue is extremely fancy - it was fantastic! the only thing i have to criticise (and this may have to do with the fact that i went there on a work function) we have not been introduced in any of the wines we had which i found a bit unusual considering you are able to buy the wine there too.

my partner took me to jackalope for my birthday weekend and booked us in for the larger setmenuwith matched wines. the food and matched wines were phenomenal. the space is so beautiful. the service is amazing. highly recommend. one of the best dinning experiences i've had!

visited doot doot doot a couple of months ago and loved it. loved it so much that we went back again in january. the tastingmenuis well priced - cheaper than a lot of other places around the area. the food was creative and delicious - even the ones without meat which can sometimes be bland - these ones were certainly not. the drinks were amazing as well, and the sommelier was adorable!! service was great, very friendly and quick with the topping up of the water. we stayed the night and enjoyed an amazing breakfast the following morning, also served at doot doot doot. the atmosphere in the restaurant is beautiful, all the light globes all over the roof just looked incredible (10,000 globes i think they said?). we loved our experience - saving up for our next trip to doot doot doot and jackalope! 🤣
