My mum and I visited the Main recently and we absolutely loved our visit! The restaurant is fitting out nicely with great decor, plenty of room and beautiful lighting which gives it a real cosy feel. We sat by the window and enjoyed the ambiance of inside.Staff were incredible and went above and beyond which was appreciated. The menu here is so good, you'll be sure to find a winner dish to suit your taste bud needs.We ordered the warm beef salad, linguine marinara, chocolate brownie and the creme brulee. I honestly can't fault anything, each dish so tasty with it's own different flavour combinations and the presentation was definitely on point. My short mac was made nicely too and was the perfection combination with the delish desserts.A must visit if you are in the area. Thanks for having us, can't wait to come back!

LOVE IT HERE. Always so consistent. Great food and even better service. Although overpriced, the smoothies and juices are delicious. Açai bowl could be thicker but still yum. Great dips!

The food is really good and WAS appropriately valued but the main is completely unaffordable now. I understand some rise due to inflation but with the new menu change you are looking at paying $40 for a chicken ceaser salad and $27.90 for the cheapest pizza. Sadly we won’t be returning until the prices are corrected since there are many other great dining options in eltham at half the price.

To be read in a posh accent...It was a dreary, ghastly afternoon in Eltham, my wife and I were on a complex expedition for a berried cheesecake in the local radius. After upwards of half an hour of seeking our desired afternoon tea, we stumbled upon 'The Main'... We found what we THOUGHT was our gourmet nibble. A woman greeted us and suggested we indulge in their 'white chocolate and raspberry cheesecake' - take note there was ONE measly dehydrated raspberry shoved onto the top of this abomination. We sat at our table by the window, so unaware of what the next five minutes held for us. After waiting a quick sec, our cheesecake was served to us on two much too large plates. The cheesecake was split in half so we could share in what we thought would be a delicacy. They met our desires in sharing and stunning presentation BUT we were met with something far less exciting. To put it plainly, the cheesecake was utmost UNPALATABLE... If I was asked to make the distinction between dry cardboard and what was touching my taste buds, it would not be within my capacity as the flavours were indistinctable. The look that we shared between us as the fork met our lips communicated much more than what words could. It was honestly discouraging after such extensive efforts to find what we would have liked to be a praiseworthy baked delicacy. CHEESCAKE....more like cheeseGETTHISINEDIBLEMATTEROUTOFMYMOUTH. So, to the team at the MAIN, we would like to say Coles could do better than this. DO BETTER.*$9 for this atrocity ... I am speechless and $9 poorerPictured below is the said delicacy".Sincerely

Great location. Watched the sunset :) service was great as well. Food came out quite slow and the seafood banquet was quite oily and mostly fried food. Otherwise, a good experience

Went for a Mother’s Day dinner and was absolutely astounded by the pricing & surcharge.I’ve been going to the main for years and was shocked to see some of the price increases on the menu. $32.90 for a Caesar salad? And $7.90 to add chicken to it?This might have been ok were it not for the 10% “Mother’s Day” surcharge, which brought our four person meal - one meal and one drink each - up to $230. What a ridiculous money grab, for not even a public holiday.The food was lovely but absolutely not worth the price. Won’t be returning

Went out to dinner last week - bought one pizza, a bowl of chips and a small side salad to share between my friend and myself. Also had a glass of house red and a glass of Prosecco and cost came to $ 98.00. It was over $ 30.00 for the two glasses of alcohol. Have been going for years - but that was the last time I will ever go there - could have bought two full bottles for the price of half a glass - absolute robbery. Waitress was lovely.

This place is consistently good in all aspects. Whether you’re coming here for a bite to eat, a full on lunch or just takeaway, everything is great.I’ve dined here with my kids many times at the restaurant part that overloooks Main Road but today was just a quick takeaway coffee and vanilla slice that is to die for. In fact all the cakes on display look amazing.Staff can make or break a place and at The Main, I’ve always found the staff to be friendly, efficient and helpful. Kudos to you!If you have dietary issues just let the staff know when ordering. High chairs are available for kids. Wheelchair friendly. Good parking at the rear in the main carpark.

We have ordered chicken scallopini three times now and keep getting served rice with it instead of what the menu says (chips and salad or potato roti) very disappointing after 3 attempts so no more which is a shame as the other meals the kids enjoy !
