    We didn't stay long at Two Bouys because the food menu looked a bit pricey. But the atmosphere was nice and we were very impressed with our cocktails. If you like something sweet and fruity, you can't go past the Bouys & Babes. It's gin, licor 43, apple juice and strawberry with bubblegum syrup! Yum.

    Great place - friendly team and good menu. They have a fantastic bar and a super delish cocktails. I was in for a Gin and they recommended ‘Monkey 47’ …. That was a wonderfully refreshing … ordered a bunch of tapas and flatbreads, whilst everything was great, their Spanish Prawns we had were super yumm … all in all a great afternoon

    Really great food, great drinks and great service. Came when it was really quiet for them so felt even more special.

    Really good food. I had the ribs and they were so tender the bones slid out completely clean. My partner had the steak and loved it. They also have a lot of fun with their cocktail list and do the classics as well.

    SENSATIONAL!!!!! We book for a small group of 30 for a joint 60th Birthday Celebration. From the get go the venue manager Con was outstanding! Very accommodating with the menu, amazing food, outstanding friendly service from the wait staff. DJ was talented with a diverse range of music - something for everyone. Would highly recommend for atmosphere, location, food and an all round night out. Thanks Con and all at Two Bouys. We will be back! 🎉🎈🎂🍸🍹🥃

    Venue is nice enough, staff fine do try. Could be good on a nice day if you're out the front having a drink. I guess if you live in Dromana or on holidays choices are limited, as the food is very basic and bland, food hall/take away at best and at twice the price. You get the feeling the owners don't try what comes out of the kitchen.

    We had a big birthday dinner here and basically had the place to ourselves! The service was excellent and so was the food. As part of our 3 course meal, I had soft shell crab for starters, the Pork ribs for mains and canoli for dessert. I enjoyed the pork ribs, it was rather spicy but tasty. The canoli was my favourite! The cream centre was more like an ice cream... Yummm!! I would come back just for that! We waited quite a while for dessert unfortunately, not sure why when all the other meals came out reasonably quick.

    Lovely decor and even though it was a busy, sunny Sunday the service was excellent, good food, good wine list and reasonably priced.

    Delicious food and beverage options. You can't go wrong with the tapas menu. The girl playing live music was also great on the night (13th May 2023), great choice.

    If you’re searching for nibbles n drinks then this is your place right by the beach. Everything we ordered was prepared with love. We tried the following - Hummus - soft crab - chicken wings - pear rocket salad - Prawn mango salsa - Margarita flat bread. Great vibes too n lovely music.

    Tasting platter came out last. The flat bread was covered in Leggos pasta sauce. The full rack of ribs had the saddest looking 'slaw' - served without any dressing, it was assaulted through a food processor. Cocktails all named after politicians in a poor attempt of humour. The drinks menu had our table in full body cringe. Tasting platter had a cheap assortment of items - for $42 they banked about $35 in profit. One staff member trying their best. Others not very engaged.

    Caught up with a friend for lunch here. Food is decent and serving sizes are large. We could have shared one of the dishes between us. Okay beer menu, could do with more rotation and better options.

    We ordered the seafood platter share amongst a family of four (youngish kids) and it was plenty of food. The taste and flavours were delicious. However, the freshness of the blue swimmers were questionable. The scallops were divine, hot fries were super hot and fresh - something so little but served perfectly!

    We came during a quiet time to have a few cocktails and snack. Its a nice looking venue and surprisingly spacious. The cocktails were delicious as well as the buffalo wings however the wings could do with a lot less sauce. It's not supposed to be a soup dish.

    Went along for dinner with my family and had a lovely dinner. The food was great, the service was friendly and efficient. The extended wine list was outstanding and some of the back vintage stuff they have is extremely good value.

    My birthday again, time is flying crazy as usual, another opportunity for great experience to dine out in Melbourne. Decided to drive to Dromana area and have lunch with these guys. Great location, sitting next to window, you can see a bit of ocean too:) Great welcoming service, entrees and mains were delicious and well presented. We had nice time even was not too long, we had another plans that special day, but definitely we will be coming back one day again:) thank you BUOYS martini

    We enjoyed a fantastic lunch at two bouys and what made the experience of the delicious food even better was the exceptional service. Every staff member we encountered was so genuinely friendly and helpful. The food was all 10 out of 10 delicious and we had a lovely spot on the deck. The meatballs, calamari, sliders and fish tacos were stand outs! We'll be back.

  • 5/5 Graham S. 10 months ago on Google
    Our first experience dining at Two Buoys restaurant. What more could you want, lovely cozy atmosphere, polite and attentive staff and wonderful food and at a great price. Definitely some where to share with family and friends. We will certainly be back for a lovely meal and with such friendly staff you can't go wrong. Thank you for making us feel so welcome.

    Have lunch on a beautiful day. Like the prawn ,very tasty with a little bit of spicy.

  • 5/5 Christine C. 1 year ago on Google
    Two Buoys Restaurant. What a great find. Thanks Con for the recommendation. We had a great time and a delicious lunch. We opted for cocktails, oysters, calamari, meatballs, wine and the obligatory (well for us) Affogato with Frangelico for “dessert”. They also serve awesome looking flat breads (pizza), and seafood platters, surf n turf, ribs and pasta, as well as a great range of tapas. We also enjoyed a lychee cocktail each and shared a bottle of Tempranillo red wine. The service was top notch. We loved the atmosphere so much we booked to dine there again next week.

    Highly recommend the Barramundi fillet here! Everything on the plate complemented each other so well, and fish was FRESH! There was a bit of a wait to be seated (no queue at the door i.e. no one in front of us) and then waiting to be served (bout half hour) but once order was taken, food came out in about half hour later. They mentioned they weren't usually that busy for that time in the day (Tue 1pm) hence only 2 of them, and they did apologise for the wait. You can't quite see the water unless you're sitting outside next to the road or indoor next to the footpath. Overall will revisit cuz I'm keen to try their other mains, but will perhaps choose somewhere else if I was already quite hungry with an empty stomach.

    Recommend the house made BBQ ribs, tender off the bone, with to die for smoked cheesy baked beans, coleslaw and generous portion of great quality chips. So good I forgot to take a photo. Paired with perfectly made lemon lime butters. This photo is othe dry rub maple chilli which was too spicy (even for Asian) and meat was too dry. Incredibly attentive service and great vibe. Will return, just not for the dry rub spicy ribs.

    Nice and friendly welcome from the manager or owner. Great indoor design and a pleasant front yard to chill out. Lots indoor and outdoor seats. My coffee was good, however the one of my partner (Oat latte) was off. She ended with diarrhea. This is a frequent problem with coffee makers, who are not able to have fresh oat milk or at least put a date when they open a bottle!

    We went for lunch on Sunday, this place was so short-staffed. I assumed kitchen was under a lot of pressure, we ordered snail for entree, pork ribs for main and sweet potato chips for side. And we got the side first, after 15mins we got the main and after 15mins we got the entree. I don’t quite get that. Snail was good, garlic butter and fresh herbs. Pork ribs was ok, a bit dry. Sweet potato chips was ok, soft not crunchy and they forgot the lime chilli salt which advertised on menu. Hope they can get better soon

    The chicken wings are super delicious. The pizza is also very nice The fried fish wings is amazing First time I try it The setting is very nice The next time I come to Mornington, I will come back to eat at two buoys!

    Great cocktail bar and eatery accross from Dromana Beach in the middle of everything live music nice looking place I ordered the Pork and Veal Meatballs spicy and very tasty then Moroccan Flatbread which was delicious good service nice staff considering how busy they were highly recommended

  • 5/5 Jadey G. 2 years ago on Google
    My partner & I have been to this special venue about 4 times, and we are always impressed. Quick service, great ambiance, excellent/fresh food. There doesn't seem to be many classic cocktails on the menu which would be a nice touch. Keep it up and we will definitely be back! The only negative 6 oysters were $27, very hefty price but tasty and fresh none the less.

  • 5/5 Leaha C. 1 year ago on Google
    Always friendly service and amazing food inside this warm and welcoming venue! This is my favourite place to eat on the Mornington Peninsula because the food never fails to impress. Oh, and there's a huge range of awesome cocktails!

  • 4/5 Lily W. 2 years ago on Google
    the food was super tasty but it was a bit cold and we waited quite a while for the price. however the knife given for the steak was giant so that’s definitely a plus. great to have some local beers on tap. live music is a plus as well !!

  • 5/5 Andrew T. 2 years ago on Google
    Nice to be back in Melbourne after two years. The staff at the restaurant are friendly and they provide good quality of food with nice sunset view. The live music provide added lively atmosphere for the dining experience, well done

    When visiting two buoys it was a hot day with a lot of foot traffic and the restaurant was very busy and the staff was very busy. The attention we received was very friendly even though they were busy and very attentive. The seafood platter we ordered was delicious and fresh. The ambience was noisy but was something that could not be avoided. Would definitely go again. Well done guys
