Kirks on the Esplanade traces its origins back to the 1870s, giving the waterfront venue genuine historic roots in Mornington, though it now blends that heritage with a modern bistro fit-out. Its position directly on the Esplanade delivers panoramic views over Port Phillip Bay, making it one of the more scenic dining spots along the Mornington foreshore. The menu covers a broad range, from fresh seafood and aged grain-fed steaks to wood-fired pizzas, pastas and risottos, with dedicated seniors and children's menus alongside options for dietary requirements. That breadth suits mixed-generation groups and families as much as a couple after a considered seafood dinner with a view. An upstairs function room accommodates 30 to 80 guests for sit-down dinners or 50 to 100 for cocktail-style events, all with the same bay outlook as the main dining room, making it a genuine option for weddings, celebrations and corporate functions. A separate Club Bar with an open fire offers a cosier spot for a drink away from the main dining area. Open long hours daily, with the kitchen running from late morning into the evening, Kirks on the Esplanade suits relaxed seafood dinners at sunset, family meals with a bay outlook, and functions needing a scenic Mornington waterfront setting.
