Fantastic menu, food and wine options, service fantastic. Food quality was great and imaginatively presented.
Loved the wine tasting boards in conical flasks.

A slight annoyance with the rear door having to remain open when it allowed a cool breeze in. Patrons from two tables tried to close it to no avail.

Had a great time at Innocent Bystander an awesome casual dinner with the staff being very attentive.

Coming from Sydney, would definitely come back when down at Healesville.

The dessert was the highlight!

Def coming back . Food was amazing and service was fantastic . The wine tastings were a great size to figure out what you wanted. Can not recommend the cider enough !

Beautiful place. Outstanding service but needs a larger menu

Food was amazing. Went there originally for the moscato but will definitely return for the food as well!

Food and service was amazing. Prices were reasonable aswell. Will definitely visit again.

Great time, great food
New waitress so just learning but was very polite
But the guy came over and really new his stuff, was so impressed

We were recommended Innocent Bystander and it definitely didn't disappoint. The food was brilliant!

We had a really lovely time—the service, food and ambiance are wonderful. The inability to lower the blind next to the window was the main downside as it became unbearably hot. Not sure what happens in Summer! Anyway the staff were lovely and moved us to another table (luckily it wasn't quite packed).

After a drive through the Yarra Valley, Innocent Bystander is the perfect stop for a meal. Interesting menu with lots of share plates means you can sample great local produce. Good selection of wine and cocktails to accompany the food and a shop for purchasing your favourite drink on your way out. The staff are friendly and efficient and their COVID safe interventions are not burdensome. I highly recommend Innocent Bystander but remember to book first for this popular restaurant.

Great food, quick service and all in all very enjoyable!

Inviting place, not too loud. Staff was so welcoming and helpful. Food is delicious and moscato is truly to die for.
Great value for money. We shared the 1 mt entree platter and then some pizza and paella, plenty for 5 people.

Fabulous service, great food in lovely surroundings.
Would absolutely recommend

Enjoyed my lunch with friends. The food was good. I would recommend buying wine in smaller carafes as the Pyrex breakers do not sit in wine coolers and the large wine got warm. The service was OK but we received contradictory advice on how big the metre board was and what to order with it but fortunately we took the right advise. The waiter serving the metre board was very bland in explaining the contents and disappeared before any questions. Missed an opportunity to embellish the moment like testing us afterwards as to what things were as an example. Compared to our visit to 4 Pillars earlier the service staff were average in comparison. In saying that however we enjoyed the lunch very much and will go back.

Excellent Foid, wine and ambience. We will be back!

We were advised as to the unavailability of ingredients for pizzas, and were told we could not request any variations. This was reiterated as though it were a prerogative of 'fine dining' to be inflexible when it would have been so easy to be accommodating! Not impressed. The place is not what it once was.

It was a recommended by a friend to try. It didn’t disappoint. The food was great. Nice flavours with nice touches. The service was outstanding. The staff was friendly and very helpful. Would definitely be a regular to visit in the future. Thank you to all the staff.

Very friendly and efficient service. Food delicious.

Nice restaurant, good vibe, good service, nice food, overall would recommend.

So content. IB is the first place I opt for when in the mood for a top-quality meal at a reasonable price.

We had a lovely evening, food was delicious, as was the wine. Staff were all really friendly and accommodating and prompt!
Looking forward to another meal there one day

It was absolutely AMAZING! The food was so delicious. The drinks were incredible. The staff were absolutely amazing and passionate. They all made the time to make you feel welcomed to Innocent Bystander!
The vibe is amazing.. would deffs come back because of the vibe and atmosphere. Love it! Great job!!

Amazing food. Fantastic wine. Great for dietary requirements and really professional and friendly service.

This is a good option for everyday dining with friends or family. Nice range of food and plenty of vegetarian and gluten free options and tasty with it. It is fairly easy to get a reservation as the place is large, but the ambience is still quite warm and cosy.

The food and wine is excellent and the staff lovely.
Highly recommend!

Great food-really loved both of the pizzas we tried and also the pumpkin salad. Went down well with the Moscato. Will definitely come back.

Amazing food and the atmosphere was great. Will go again when I'm the area

Great table service! All the waiters were attentive and were knowledgeable about all the food items on the menu. Ambience was fantastic! We were recommended this place by a family member and will definitely refer friends and family to Innocent Bystander.

The food and wine were wonderful, and our host Tegan was absolutely amazing and very generous.

Such a great night. The service was excellent. Friendly and helpful. Very efficient. We asked to be moved and the staff were really great to assist. Food was delicious and the wine was perfect.

Was seated by the window on a hot day and as the blinds did not go the whole way down, my friends and I were incredibly uncomfortable by the heat. We requested to be moved twice but was denied even after mentioning that one friend was about to pass out by the heat. It was a very disappointing experience especially as there were plenty seats available (we were told were booked). Another table seated by the windows left after 10 minutes due to the heat.

Pizza's are the standout every time, cos lettuce salad went perfectly with it.

Average service and food. Paella meat and seafood both not fresh at all. Chewy and tough.

Excellent!

I’d like to complement teagan (?) our waitress. She was friendly helpful and complied with all our requests with a great smile and efficiency. Thanks to her we had a great night.

Nice place. Focaccia bread was amazing. Enjoyed meat and cheese board.

I’d heard this place recommended by so many people I knew so I went in with high expectations, and absolutely loved it all! The food, wine and general atmosphere was amazing. I will definitely be back!

The metre long platter was a great choice. Combined with a couple of pizzas and the beautiful chardonnay there was certainly enough for the 4 of us. Everything was fresh and tasty.
We left full and satisfied without feeling bloated.
Wait staff were very friendly and attentive and the service was fast without feeling rushed.
We will definitely be back!!
