Delicious coffee and the staff here are so wonderful, attentive, and polite. It's like stepping back in time. One of the best places for a glass of wine too especially sitting outside on a spring day.

Excellent food, most delicious starters and steaks. Recommend the arancini and the wagyu. Staff are excellent, so friendly and welcoming. Was an hours drive and worth every bit of it, such delicious food. We will be back!

15 of us had the set menu for my 30th birthday and just could not have been more perfect. The venue was beautiful, service was fantastic and food was amazing. Couldn't recommend higher.

Sensational food. The service is first class. There is a bit of old-world charm about this place. Try the Eye Fillet steak. You will not be disappointed.

This is my favourite restaurant in Mornington. The food is always amazing!!! The customer service (especially Kevin) is attentive and friendly. I love the steak, it’s always cooked to perfection and juicy!

Went here with my partner for a celebration dinner, we both chose the dry aged porterhouse steak and I could not be happier with the food. The service was attentive but not over zealous , just seemed to be there when we needed them. A beautiful old building that has a lovely ambiance with outdoor dining available as well. For a special occasion dinner, I could not recommend it more highly, will be going back.

Outstanding in every aspect! Every dish was delicious including, of course, the steaks. The service here is second to none, friendly, helpful and never left waiting. Plus, the restaurant itself is beautiful and feels very high-end despite the dinner being rather good value for money. I’ve made it a regular occurrence coming here and will continue to do so.
Vegetarian options: Plenty of options for vego dishes, my vegetarian partner loves coming here too!
Parking: Lots of parking as it’s opposite the park at the bottom of Main Street. Much easier than a lot of restaurants on Main Street itself
Dietary restrictions: The menu is flexible and has plenty of options

We loved our lunch here! Very friendly staff and the steaks are so good! I ordered their Scotch Wagyu, which is one of their specials, and really loved it! This is the kind of service and quality that I’m willing to pay. Will definitely recommend this place.

Hard to put into words the quality of the steak and service. Definitely worth going out of your way to dine here. Everything is good - highly recommend.

This is the place of you miss the “days of old” when you could be assured great service and great food. Although not cheap, it’s an acceptable trade off given the enjoyment in the beautiful menu and wine on offer. The adjacent wine bar (espresso martini’s are a must try) is the cherry on top. Well done to a team obviously doing something right together.

“We lived in the area years ago but have since moved but we remember the Counting House (it is situated in an old bank) very fondly. So we decided to revisit recently. Glad we did, the steak and fish were great. The staff was friendly and catered for my partner who prefers gluten-free options. Good wine list.”

“My wife and I usually come here for special occasions and always love it. The food and the staff are always great. I think the nicest thing though is that they always remember you, which is a pleasant surprise - we've been a few times but we're not super regular. It just shows Counting House really is a place that knows how to take care of customers. Thanks!”

We tried Counting House Bar & Grill tonight and really enjoyed it. The food and drink were great while the service was friendly and professional. Already looking forward to organising a dinner here. Would recommend it for anyone looking for a good steak fix! 👍
