Jill's Restaurant is set on a secluded hillside at the gateway to the Mornington Peninsula. The beautiful, architecturally designed rammed earth building makes the most of its sweeping views across the vineyard to the Moorooduc Valley below.

Jill would like to encourage you to select from the menu to suit your appetite and desires. Order as much or as little as you like. Just for you, or mix and match for the whole table to enjoy - the "Tastes" menu has been introduced for those of us who love grazing.
