    Lovely setting, and for the most part the service was great but we just couldn’t overlook how bad the food was. Paid $150 for a lobster pasta, the lobster was chewy and it was so doused in tomato it couldn’t be tasted. If you closed your eyes you’d think you were eating a tin of crushed tomatoes. Tried the octopus and crab tacos for entree which were just ok. $280 for two people (without alcohol) later, and sadly I don’t think we’ll be back. Which is a shame as I have found memories of the venue from a few years ago. Hopefully the chef was just having a really bad day.

    My experience at The Rocks Mornington was extremely pleasant. I had heard great reviews from friends so I was eager to try it out - definitely did not disappoint. The food was exceptional (ordered the Kingfish Crudo which is a must, Crab Tacos, Mooloolaba prawns, Salt Bush squid and the Grilled fish n chips). The ambience was great including the view. Will definitely be returning!
