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

what a lovely experience! i would recommend any foodie who enjoys full or adhocwinepairing 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.

detail menu with 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 our menu but 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 their menu again 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 miss menu with some dishes elevated by thewinepairing...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.

lovely experience at ddd celebrating our anniversary at the jackelope.

the restaurant serves a five course menu but 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 thewineyard 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 withwineit 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 set menu and the option to add some things like oysters and cheese. the menu 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

the setting of this restaurant is beautiful, the decor modern and sleek, and the service fantastic.

the staff were very attentive and knowledgable of thewineand the food. they also read us as the audience well and felt comfortable enough to have a laugh and a joke.

the six courses we had (optional cheese course included) were fresh, inventive and a great mix of flavours. i also think $110 for the meal without pairedwinewas very reasonable.

definitely coming back.

what a delightful experience in an impressive location. maybe it’s thewinetalking , but i enjoyed pretty much everything about this place - including the stay. yes it feels a little aloof and guess what, it is, but the prices are reasonable given this! service was down to earth but sophisticated and enjoyable, the fitout and presentation is excellent with a few twists and the food - well we indulged in the degustation and matching international wines - happy days. great selection of both food andwineand finished comfortable, but not ready to explode. thewinewaiters verbatim recital around each glass ofwineto the table next to us became a little dull (second time around) and certainly highlights a lack of interest in the guests - but really it couldn’t dull the shine of an excellent evening. breakfast was also brilliant - the best bacon by far i have ever had (with the exception of my own of course)! i don’t know what it is, but the seating arrangement, while large spaces in between table sets, just doesn’t do it for me - rows of seats, while there is so much room behind you, still places you on top of the people beside you (being an introvert might be the problem). i do love the use of black and the jackalope hotel logo.

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 creative menu i 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 thewinethere too.

really enjoyed doot doot doot the concept behind the food is great and the love is shown on the plate. thewinelist was interesting and the sommelier was very knowledgeable and suggested great reasonably price local options. a big disappointment for us was the lack of view, which the bathroom had bags of?? explained by staff it was to keep the focus in the good but when dining on mornington peninsula it’s what we come for as much as the food.

one word "amazing" i was lucky enough to be able to enjoy the "all stars" 5 course degustation and matching wines at this gorgeous place.
i was told on arrival that the "all stars" menu was special as it featured the most popular dishes from 2017 all together in one sitting!
i wasn't disappointed and can see why they are the most popular - each course was delicious and thewinepairing complemented each dish perfectly.
i would highly recommend this restaurant; nothing to fault - the food, wine, service and knowledge of the menu was outstanding.
