Mietta's Review
Clean, smart looking with floor to ceiling windows, this eatery over the sea has been packing them in since it opened in 2000. The dining room offers expansive ocean views, and a reasonably priced menu. There is also a kiosk, outdoor decking area and separate bar area. The service is casual yet efficient.
Other published opinions
The Age Good Food Guide 2006 score 13/20 "Gazing out of the still, quiet Mulloway Room (no children admitted) at the Barwon River and Point Lonsdale lighthouse, you could almost be aboard a luxury liner. Soft-hued carpets and shipshape service add to the illusion, while the clatter from the other half ofthe renovated boatshed echoes faintly from a distant shore."
The Foodies' Guide 2004,Allan Campion & Michele Curtis,'It's hard to believe it's the same space where Diver Dan tackled his espresso machine in SeaChange,but his former shack has undergone a Cinderella experience and emerged as a popular spot to enjoy the view and some good food.'
Age Good Food guide 2002 Score 13/20
The Sunday Age (Sunday Life), 03.12.00, John Hindle "At The Heads provides honest, decent and sometimes interesting food in a joyously conceived waterfront venue. The service is more cheerful than expert, but the atmosphere is egalitarian and happy and it's possible to have a fine time and eat tolerably well. No doubt it will improve, given time. Just remember to book. Score: three stars"

The room has views over the bay accompanied by a menu that is broad in its scope but uses local mussels.

Depending on which version of the Age Good Food Guide you read Oakdene's decoration is 'beguiling' or 'flamboyant'.

A Spanish restaurant is hardly what you would expect to find on the Portarlington foreshore. But Port Pier Cafe is, and a good one.

With marvellous views it's a lovely spot for lunch and to enjoy Scotchman Hill wines.
