The restaurant offered magnificent view during we had lunch. We tried something from the menu and something on the special board. Both were good. The staff was friendly.

This is a popular place as you can see visitors from overseas and interstates.

You can walk around the gardens, sit on the giant chair and have a great view over the city of Melbourne. The entry is not free. You need to pay$7 but it’s worth it. If you have lunch at the main restaurant, you can get a free pass for your next visit, probably good within a year.

Views are really lovely up here. Garden setting is serene and it really is super nice when you go in the evening to take a look at the city lights...very romantic. Reasonable pricing and so much space too.

You go to Skyhigh for the beautiful views and cool weather. It is not free. You have to pay $6 per car if you drive. But how else can you go there? Then a piping hot beverage inside the well heated Bistro. The service was pleasant but could be more attentive. I ordered a Mocha that came with a KISS cookie & a pink marshmallow - exactly what I need & want - love it!

Approximate cost: $4.50

I went to SkyHigh, a bistro-cafe-restaurant on top of Mount Dandenong. With panoramic views & delicious scones $8.40 (for breakfast), who wants to leave? The hot chocolate (mug) $4.50 came with 2 marshmallows - lovely. Strongly recommended. Also, try the maze ($6 for adult) - should be fun.

Approximate cost: $12.9

Bitterly disappointed with my visit here.
My mum and I had an early lunch. I had the roasted vegetable soup. It was pretty bland and tasteless. It came out with a dry piece of bread, but no butter.
Mum had quiche with potato salad. The potato salad was pretty awful and we wondered if it was tinned.
I'll never eat here again. Good place to stop for drinks, but not food.

What an amazing place, breathtaking views, sunset over the bay. The view is definitely worth the entry fee on a good day. The garden walks are very pleasant and the general atmosphere is great.

The cafe area serves the worse focaccias ever. There was hardly any filling with the vegetarian and ham and cheese focaccia and the bread is worse that homebrand Woolies or Coles. At $11.50 each it is a ripoff.

Absolutely marvellous. Friendly attentive waitstaff, and the most amazing food! A great night out on all counts, and I will definitely be returning again soon

The view and the gardens here are beautiful. A direct look out at the city and the surrounding ho-ha. The restaurant was busy when I went, but the staff were all polite and quick with our orders considering the amount of other people. I just had a burger, but it was well cooked and was a massive serving. Not too pricey either which was a bonus.

We recently went to skyhigh for kids weeks activities in teh school holidays.
So my review is of the location, cafe & service really not skyhigh as a high end function venue.

The setting is amazing! The kids absolutely loved it. Amazing gardens and pieces of history to wander through.
Parking was easy and it is a nice, safe, comfortable place to take the kids.

Coffee at the cafe was good and also the foccacia's we had for lunch.
Service was ok.....pretty slow in the cafe and whilst there were people around it wasn't crazy busy.
They did seem to not have enough staff on, but as there was no apology or conversation about the wait time, I don't know if it was just a bad day (people not turning up for work) or just the norm??!!

Service at the maze was ordinary. It was the main hub for the children's activities that we occuring on the day and I found the staff member to be uninterested and unhelpful which, as first time visitors, was disapointing.

All in all we had a great day, the average service cannot take away from the beauty of the place.

Well worth a visit!
