About Mr Curtis

Perched above Mount Martha with panoramic bay vistas, this eclectic retreat pairs vintage seaside charm with punchy coastal tapas. Guests climb the stairs into a cozy, 1970s beach house scene of mismatched chairs and crocheted lap rugs. Settle onto the heated deck behind weather shutters for sunset views across Port Phillip Bay. The kitchen leans into generous shared plates—crunchy prawn tostadas, jalapeño croquettes, and rich sticky date pudding—backed by icy lime margaritas and attentive dietary care.

  • Heated Bay-View Balcony: Heaters, shutters, and blankets line the second-story deck overlooking Port Phillip Bay for year-round sunset views.
  • Eclectic Retro Setting: Mismatched retro furnishings, vibrant colors, and crochet lap rugs channel an easygoing 1970s beach house vibe.
  • Feed Me Shared Feast: A curated multi-course spread featuring dishes like prawn tostadas, croquettes, and sticky date pudding.

Key Dining Advantages

Why diners choose Mr Curtis for relaxed coastal tapas, group celebrations, and thoughtful hospitality

  • Heated Balcony with Coastal Bay Views

    Guests enjoy panoramic views of Port Phillip Bay from the upstairs deck, kept comfortable year-round with outdoor heaters, blankets, and weather shutters.

    We were lucky enough to get a prime balcony seat with beautiful views, and the outdoor heaters kept us perfectly warm all night.

  • Quirky 1970s Beach House Ambience

    The venue creates an inviting, nostalgic atmosphere filled with mismatched furniture, crochet lap rugs, and water served in repurposed gin bottles.

    Nothing matches but somehow everything works. Even the water arrives in old Bombay Sapphire bottles poured into mismatched glasses.

    We came as a group of 14 and tried the Feed Me menu featuring duck bao buns, chicken tostadas, and sticky date pudding.

  • Bespoke Dietary and Allium Adjustments

    Diners with restrictive dietary needs, including onion- and garlic-free preferences, receive custom-tailored dishes without compromise.

    I was given heaps of options of things that could be made for me. I wasn’t made to feel like a nuisance for it like I have been in other places and my food was delicious, all the staff were extremely kind and helpful.

  • Attentive Allergy and Alternative Menus

    Kitchen staff proactively manage individual food allergies and dietary preferences so multi-generational groups can dine together seamlessly.

    She was flexible and also provided excellent alternatives for dietary requirements and catered for food allergies for my little neice so she didn't feel like she missed out.
