Seasons Mildura

Seasons Restaurant in Mildura, northwest Victoria, is somewhat of an institution.  As the owners, Andy and Mandy Williams, go into their seventh year of trade it’s clear that their mission is not waning.  Prior to opening they believed that there was a gap in the market between cafe style dining and fine dining in Mildura so they decided to create a place where diners could enjoy a great affordable food, wine and service experience.  They wanted their guests to feel like they were returning to an old friend with the comfort of a warm and relaxed but quality atmosphere.  This set the scene and created the original foundation for their restaurant.

I have dined at Seasons several times over the years and something that remains constant is the passion and professionalism of Andy and Mandy. It’s possibly the reason they are still staying firm and strong in the competitive and sometimes difficult game of owning a restaurant. It is clear that their values are instilled in their team.  You can see that they get on with their job with that same passion and professionalism. 

From the moment of arrival at Seasons you are greeted with open arms and big smiles as you are whisked to your table with the warmest welcome.  The Seasons beverage list is comprehensive, thoughtful and smart.  Andy is to be credited for this.  He has a wide and varied knowledge and understanding of any beverage that might tickle your taste buds.  So if you find it too difficult to make a decision leave it to Andy – you won’t be disappointed.  On this particular night Andy treated the table beside me to a spectacular performance where he conducted ‘sabrage’ with a 'sabre'.  This is the traditional French way to open a bottle of Champagne by slicing the top of the champagne bottle open with a sword.  It was fabulous and the entire room was impressed.

This is what you get to understand about the Seasons menu when you open it – ‘we believe that food in season is food that is best.  When sourcing our produce we give priority to locally grown food, we know the best suppliers, where it comes from and when it’s in season.  This is our privilege.  Our seasonal menu salutes the diversity in Australian cuisine.  The menu is a fusion of modern Australian influences.  Join with friends to share our passion’.  A perfect introduction to the dishes you are about to experience.

Andy's Choice

The menu is broken up into sections – the introduction, the in between, the main event and the sweet afters.  There is also an amazing daily specials board to compliment the delicious seasonal menu.  Kids, vegetarians, gluten free are all really well catered for.  The other area they cater for so wonderfully are the people like me.  The ones who sometimes don’t want to make a decision.  Leave it up to Andy or Mandy and they will arrange something perfect for you from the kitchen.

If you are in Mildura you need to dine at Seasons. Or if you are after a prime steak from the grill Andy and Mandy also run the adjoining restaurant ‘The Spanish Bar and Grill’.  Either way you will be well taken care of and you will enjoy an excellent night.  Make sure you tell Andy and Mandy that I sent you!
