(由 Google 翻译)抱歉,我得说说我在雅比溪酒庄的精彩与失望。
上周末,我们满怀期待地前往雅比溪酒庄,这家酒庄因其葡萄酒和美食而备受推崇。我们的体验就像坐过山车一样,跌宕起伏,让我们对这次访问百感交集。
抵达后,我们受到了格外热情的欢迎,这为我们原本希望度过一个难忘的下午奠定了基础。品酒环节堪称完美。我们先品尝了白葡萄酒,口感醇厚,令人愉悦,但真正抢尽风头的是来自希思科特的2018年份设拉子。它浓郁醇厚的口感,充分体现了酒庄对品质的执着。
当我们从品酒环节过渡到享用正餐和主菜时,兴奋感开始消退。嫩菠菜配烟熏斯卡莫扎炸饭团、蒜泥蛋黄酱、白萝卜和苹果沙拉虽然出乎我们的意料,但却是一份令人惊喜的美味。然而,炙烤血橙蓝鳍金枪鱼虽然看起来赏心悦目,但激光切割的工艺却令人失望,缺乏我们预期的那种劲道。不过,烟熏鸭胸肉配嫩甜菜根、开心果和榅桲,烹饪得恰到好处,各方面都堪称完美,为食客带来了片刻的愉悦。
可惜的是,主菜土豆面疙瘩、豌豆、芦笋、新鲜山羊凝乳(浸入芦笋)味道平淡,略显平淡;炖羊肩肉配传家宝胡萝卜、黑大麦和松子,虽然摆盘精美,却未能达到菜单上对其的预期。我们的客人点了眼肉排,但由于他们的烹饪偏好,我们点了一份全熟的牛排,这让他们错失了享用美味肉块的绝佳机会,而搭配的薯条又不够劲道,更是让他们错失良机。
然而,甜点却令人大开眼界。每道甜点都精心装盘,味道绝佳,展现了厨房的潜力和创造力。甜点无疑是我们这顿饭的亮点,让我们不禁希望主菜也能达到同样的水准。
遗憾的是,整个用餐过程中,服务都成了我们最大的问题。我们不得不挥舞着手臂,试图引起注意。在等了最后一个菜品上桌一个小时后,我们不得不把自己的盘子收拾到旁边的空桌子上,这让我们一行人非常沮丧。一位管理代表后来解释说,前台和主厨都不在,这无疑凸显了我们用餐体验中的不足之处。
尽管服务略有不足,但我还是不得不称赞它每人95美元的价格。考虑到莫宁顿半岛地区其他200美元以上的餐厅,Yabby Creek的性价比非常高,使其成为下次光临时的理想之选。
总而言之,虽然服务问题和菜品质量参差不齐让我们的用餐体验大打折扣,但热情的接待、优质的葡萄酒和令人垂涎的甜点让我们对未来更加期待。我们很想再来一次,或许可以带着我们的狗狗,在明媚的阳光下享受户外用餐,欣赏令人叹为观止的美景。Yabby Creek值得再来一次,我们愿意尝试,希望下次能有更完美的体验。

Sorry,but i tell a tale of Excellence and disappointment at Yabby Creek Winery
Last weekend, we eagerly ventured to Yabby Creek Winery, a place that had been highly recommended for its wine and culinary offerings. Our experience was a rollercoaster of highs and lows, leaving us with mixed feelings about our visit.
Upon arrival, we were greeted with an exceptionally warm welcome, setting the stage for what we hoped would be a memorable afternoon. The wine tasting was nothing short of superb. We started with the whites, which were well-structured and delightful, but it was the 2018 Shiraz from Heathcote that truly stole the show. Its rich, bold flavors were a testament to the winery's commitment to quality.
As we transitioned from our tasting to our meal and entrees, the excitement began to wane. The baby spinach and smoked scamorza arancini, aioli, daikon, and apple salad, while not what we expected, turned out to be a cracking surprise—and flavorful. However, the seared bluefin tuna, blood orange, which looked visually impressive, was disappointingly laser cut and lacked the punch we anticipated. But the smoked duck breast, baby beetroot, pistachio, quince, was cooked to perfection, delivering on all fronts and providing a moment of culinary bliss.
Unfortunately, the main potato gnocchi, peas, asparagus, fresh goat's curd, infused with asparagus, fell flat with its blandness, and the braised lamb shoulder, heirloom carrots, black barley, pine nuts, while beautifully presented, failed to live up to its promising description on the menu. Our guests ordered eye fillets, but the cooking preferences of our guest led to a well-done steak that was a significant missed opportunity for a beautiful cut of meat on their behalf, and when paired with anemic fries was a missed opportunity for them.
Desserts, however, were a revelation. Each one was plated with care and tasted exceptional, showcasing the kitchen's potential and creativity. They were undoubtedly the highlight of our meal, leaving us wishing that the mains had reached the same level of excellence.
Unfortunately, the service throughout the meal was where we encountered significant issues. We found ourselves waving our arms in the air for attention, and after an hour of waiting for our final course dishes to be removed, we cleared our own plates to a vacant nearby table which made our group extremely frustrated. A management representative later explained that the front of house and head chef were absent, which certainly shed light on the gaps in our experience.
Despite the service shortcomings, I must commend the price point at $95 pp. Given the other options in the Mornington Peninsula region at $200+, Yabby Creek offered exceptional value, making it a compelling option for future visits.
In summary, while our experience was marred by service issues and inconsistent food quality, the warm welcome, outstanding wine, and delightful desserts have left us with hope for a better visit in the future. We would love to return, perhaps with our dog, to enjoy a meal outside in the glorious sunshine, taking in the breathtaking views. Yabby Creek deserves another chance, and we are willing to give it one, hoping for a more seamless experience next time
