The Eating House, Rowville

We dine in 3-4 time a year here and often get the Pizza's for take away. Pizza's a a little pricey for what you get, though they do have a good selection. Great place for a family breakfast. They cater well for young diners with colouring in for them and a good variety of food. They offer 5% off for members, this helps. When my children were younger we would go there with our mothers group and were always welcomed and staff arranged the tables and chairs so we could fit extra chairs in. The venue is kept very clean. The sitting area for the take away wait is comfortable. The decor is starting to date though, has the industrial theme going on.

I used to get pizzas here, and the Thai Beef salad. The salad was so yum. We had my partners 30th there a few years ago, and even though I got the cake elsewhere, they stored it, put candles on it, bought it out and supplied plates, cutlery etc.

My husband & I just dined here today.. and were pleasantly surprised at the amazing flavor of their food. We have nothing like this in Pakenham. I have realized when people have a good thing, they tend to take it for granted. And when they don't they treasure every moment.

That's what we did, we treasured every moment of each bite. lol. It was so good. I'm pregnant so food is a BIG deal for me right now. And if it's good.. I want the world to know! haha!

Anyway, I had the "Porterhouse Steak Sandwich" w/Swiss Cheese, Caramelised Onions, Tomatoes & Mushrooms. You get a side of fries that are pretty filling too. I also had a refreshing "Guava Juice" And boy did I love that!

My husband had the "Nasi Goreng" It was a BRILLIANT flavored rice with stir-fry veggies, chicken & shrimp. And had a fried egg on top. I'm not really into asian food.. but WOW, I enjoyed my husband's plate more then my own. lol. We usually split & combine what we have. Anyway, if you want a healthier option of rice but would like it tasty.. EAT THIS! It will not disappoint if you're into flavor!

Also, the service was excellent. We were served quickly.. and catered to in great time. When we went to pay, we met the owner & he seemed very nice too asking in detail if we enjoyed it. You can tell he cares about the quality & service of his restaurant.

It's a little pricey.. and not cheap. But like I always say, you GET what you pay for! And we were definitely satisfied! =)

I look forward to trying this place out again, even though it's a bit far from where we live. But I really am glad we were able to stumble upon this place & try it out. I recommend it to anyone looking for a nice tasty bite... and/or even a quick drink, coffee or smoothie. They had a little cafe corner there that seemed very relaxing.

Thanks Eating House for helping us enjoy our Sunday afternoon.

I really like this local pizza place - I have found they can be a bit hit and miss but when they get it right they do well! I think they recently changed menu as they had a few different options and I think it was good they had a wide price range available. I had a Thai beef salad which was nice and the sweet potato fries are yum! Not surprised below reviewer slipped on floor as I went there once and they were mopping the floors during lunch service (with a strong detergent smell which I thought was strange) and there hadn't been a spill as she was mopping EVERYWHERE! But overall I like it as a local option.

A regular for many years, enjoy the food, but after a heavy fall on a very wet tiled & extremely slippery floor, I was disappointed & angry by the lack if empathy & concern from the owner. He came across as arrogant, didn't offer a drink or discount on the meal. This floor was extremely unsafe and should not be like this on a busy Sunday lunch. He did not agree with me. My back is still receiving treatment. Hopefully he will pay the costs as promised. Time will tell.

The Eating House Decor is getting a bit old and tired, the floor needs repolishing and the light fittings need cleaning. I really miss a seafood chowder that they no longer have on the menu, it was to die for! However they have a varied menu and their beer battered chips are particularly yummy!

The mains and entrees are a bit expensive, but are of a pretty good quality. The pizzas and pastas are slightly more affordable though. They do tend to change their menus quite often, as some of the things I had once were no longer there.

Still, Eating House is an above average eating experience for an above average price.

Excellent menu, with gluten free and vegetarian options.

Large servings, particularly the desserts, where you could easily share one dessert between two people. Good selection for children as well.

Food was good to very good but the serving sizes were smaller than expected. Main meals were quite expensive for a family restaurant considering the portion size. Service was excellent.

There are lots of other places that offer better value for money, so I wont be going back.

Good mix of meal selections available. Tuesday night steak nights excellent value. Staff are pleasant though a couple of times our order has been significantly delayed, taking up to 60 minutes for pizza or chicken burger to arrive at table. Often forget our request for water.

The Eating House has a great menu and is reasonably priced. I dine there regularly. I find the ambience to be great.

The menu has just changed & is terrible. For eg. Calamari comes with Chorizo & Asian Salad, Chorizo is spanish so why would you have an Asian salad with it, each to their own, another is they no longer have fettucine Carbornara, this was my favorite. I understand menus need to be changed form time to time, but this latest is not a winner for me, bring back the Fett Carb please...

I have been several times & its a bit hit & miss, though majority of the visits the meals have been ok. They have a homemade aoli thats really good. The wait staff are ok but the manager is really welcoming & friendly. If your after a low-key dinner & in the area, give it a go.

Have been here twice for lunch now. The food is ok, nothing great. The chai lattes are too sweet and aren't made using loose leaf tea. Service was ok.

I love the ambience of this restaurant. The service is great. There is a huge selection of food. The only problem is deciding what to have!

Food was great, prices are not bad, Service was excellent. or just come in for a coffee and Cake. Overall very good experience. Great offers for Monday / Tuesday. Nice family atmosphere. Great place for birthdays too.

Nice undercover outdoor area.

My husband and I have been to this restaurant a number of times as we live nearby. Mostly, the food has been excellent, especially the special risotto's (yum!). However, when I ordered a medium steak is was completely black/ burnt and I was not impressed.

Pros: always available seating, helpful staff (mostly), free starter bread, good quality risotto/ pizza/ parma

Cons: Steak was BAD, bit expensive for main meals

i love going to this restaurant. it is modern and casual at the same time. food is great and a wide range if meals on the menu. also caters for children. delicious desserts.

I love going to the Eating House. Have been for brunch and dinner. We always have a great night. The eggs are suburb for brunch. Good selection of meals for dinner. Can get expensive if having a few drinks.

The main meals are not that special, they are a 7/10. The takeaway pizzas are nice & reasonably priced & would go back for the pizzas, apart from that the restaurant really needs to improve their main meals.
