Le Montage - Lilyfield
Ah, wedding food at a nice function center in Lilyfield, namely, Le Montage.
Le Montage The location is pretty, and the decor relaxing yet brings along a sense of elegance. And the bride? Beautiful! :P 
The bread got us all wondering what the food would be like. Rock solid on the outside, if you were lucky enough to rip it open and examine the insides of the roll, it was nice and soft. However, eating the roll together (the outside and the inside) was... um... tough?
Bread rolls - rock hard outside, soft on the inside The first entree came exceeding everyone's expectations. A smoked salmon tower filled with creamy kipfler potato, avocado and cucumber salad, all resting on fresh rocket and surrounded by a cherry tomato and citrus dressing, and finished with a touch of salmon caviar. I just to happened to be a fan of smoked salmon, and of potato salad and thus, I just so happened to enjoy this dish. The only downfall was the rocket which was drenched in the citrus dressing and slightly too oily and citrusy tasting for my liking. The dish was also really really filling - and if this was the only dish served for the night, I still would have been satisfied.

Fussili pasta And now for mains. There was a "choice" of two - either chicken or scotch fillet (too bad for the vegetarians!). From a quick glance at the menu, I had wanted to try the scotch fillet which rested on roasted kipfler potato, watercress and Spanish onion and finished with a red currant jus. However, for better or worse, the oven baked half baby chicken was placed in front of me. It was served with baby mushrooms, onions and roasted potatoes, and finished with rosemary jus. Which was better? Well, I truelly enjoyed my chicken which was moist and tender and flavoursome. The scotch fillet, on the other hand, received mixed reviews. One friend thought it was quite nice, another (quite a few) thought it to be very tough and chewy.

Omg that's where Mimi had her formal at! The waterview and all that :D It's a nice place
I had my wedding there 6 months ago. What a fantastic place. The staff were amazing. And the food was phenomenal. After our gnocchi with osso bucco (The BEST!!!), the main course came out. It was a choice of scotch fillet resting on kipfler, or Chicken Breast wrapped in pancetta with a creamy mushroom risotto.
I had the scotch fillet. I was really nervous because i forgot to tell them how much i hate steak served red. I guess they are used to so many people wanting properly cooked meat, because it came out perfect. God i cant wait to go there again. It was so good. My family loved it and were well taken care of.
If you are thinking about having a function at Le Montage, I STRONGLY recommend it.
Attended La Montage for a wedding recently. The food was dreadful, the service appalling, and the MC a real let down. I would not recommend this place
I don't know if you have a good sense of the hospitality industry at all, but vegetarians actually get a vegetarian meal through organised dietary requirements / given on the night on request. It's how every function runs.
Inquired at this venue for my wedding a few years ago.The staff are quite rude and after all that treatment the down graded us to the smaller room without our say in the matter!I think the gentlemans name was John,very arrogant to say the least.In my opinion use this place as your last choice
