Leonda By The Yarra

I had a Year 12 school formal (UHS) in this place on 2015÷09÷21. The staff were fast and efficient. The food was pretty good. I had Eye Fillet Salad for Entrée, Lamb Shanks for Main and Mango Panna Cotta for desert, all of which were pretty good.
Décor was classier than I though it would be. It’s location is great, although I didn’t go on the balcony briefly because it was almost dark by the time I got there and I was inside (approximately 1840 hrs by this point). Overall it went by fast and I had a good night.
Would most recommend to people.
Parking is of course plentiful!

I recently held a large work event at Leonda and was impressed with the service from start to finish.
From my initial site visit right through to the night of the event, all the staff I had dealings with were prompt, professional and pro-​active — every event managers dream!
The team were able to cater to all our last minute requests and changes without batting an eyelid. Knowing they had everything under control allowed me to enjoy the night.
The menu was spot on and while i found some of the dishes a little too rich for my own personal taste, the feedback I received on the whole from other guests was absolutely glowing.
Located right on the Yarra with easy access to transport and 150 free parking spaces on site, this a great events venue.
Book early though — weddings take up every Saturday night spot for so long in advance you may as well pencil something in for your new born daughter right now ;)

Went to a wedding here and was thoroughly impressed. The outside area, surrounded by the Yarra and plenty of trees, is superb. We were served drinks and appetizers outside before we went inside for the reception.
Inside was nicely set out, though I was expecting it to be a little classier than it was.
The food was AMAZING. I had scotch fillet steak, served medium rare (I usually cant stand any pink at all, but this was fantastic).
Overall it was a good night, and I’d definitely recommend it for a wedding or celebration.

Leonda is a swanky function centre. The sort of place where as we drove in there were attendents at the carpark entrance to check your invites, people just to open the door for you and once inside everything is so shiny it hurts your eyes to look at for too long. That’s my idea of swanky, call me a simple country boy you may indeed!
Specialising in weddings, corporate functions and dinners Leonda is beautifully set by the Yarra although it was stormy the night I went and everything was kept inside. I’m told the outdoor area is the best part of the centre.
The food was delicious, particularly the Morrocan lamb which almost fell off the bone as I looked at it and the staff (mostly uni students by the looks of it) were friendly yet professional at the same time.
It’s not a huge venue but was perfect for a corporate dinner and would be a lovely setting for any wedding.
