   The service was great as was the wine list. The menu is limited and, although well presented, perhaps a little overpriced.

   This was our second visit and it was very good again. Food was cooked to perfection with delicate flavours. We had the slow cooked beef neck and snapper filet. Entree was radish with herb butter odd combination but good. Desert was apple and blueberry tart with Timboon cream and custard sauce. Delicious. As always friendly service. The review is not complete unless we mention the bread and rosemary infused olive oil and the warm drink they give in a small ceramic cup with flavours from beetroot and herbs. Will definitely visit again.

   We had a lovely night although I think they were stretched to their limit with a very large dinning party in their private room. Tha being said, the service was still good.

   Disappointing. We were there a year ago and loved it but this time we were underwhelmed by the food which lacked flavour and complexity.

   As always I loved the uniqueness of the Merrijig and its warm ambiance. Food is delicious and so beautifully presented, full of freshness and flavour. Service second to none. Can’t recommend highly enough.

   Merijig is a fantastic dinning experience, we began our night with drinks in the garden looking out over the Moyne at dusk. Staff welcome you to their dinning room with escorted seating to a beautifully furnished room that while seating numerous guest the room gives you an intimate experience. The old worldly and beautiful crafted furniture builds on the charm of this old building. The food is an experience to remember from the complementary warmed infused tea to the delicious thought out meals, this is where food is left to shine and complemented with subtle flavours. Rarely do we have dessert, but we would encourage you not to miss out. The hand made oatcakes and lavosh with cheese were delicious, we also shared a fantastic Stone Fruit and Brown Butter Tart with Schulz Cream. The use of hand made plates and vessels is impressive and the attention to wine class use for the well stocked wine list adds to the dinning experience. Merijig staff are craftsman of hospitality, if you're visiting Port Fairy book ahead you will remember the experience as fondly as we do.

    We thoroughly enjoyed or stay at the Merrijig Inn. All the staff were friendly and helpful, the room was excellent with a period feel to it and the dinner in the evening was exceptional. The breakfast was also very good. Our only regret is that we only stayed one night!
