Correction (3 October 2026): an earlier version of this page listed places and details we could not stand behind. It has been rewritten from scratch: every place below was confirmed at two independent sources between 2 October 2026 and 3 October 2026, and every price was copied from the page it was published on.
A date night is mostly a booking, a price and a plan B, so this page sticks to what each restaurant publishes about itself. Five places made the cut, and only one of them has an Officer address. Two are in Beaconsfield and two are in Pakenham, which makes this a guide to dinner in and around Officer.
If a menu showed a price, it sits beside the dish here. Where a menu was a PDF or an image we could not read as text, we say so and leave the price out. Nothing here is a verdict on the food, only on what each venue says about itself.

Gordi Restaurant Cafe & Bar — Shop 21 Arena Shopping Centre, 4 Cardinia Road, Officer VIC 3809
Gordi is the one place on this list with an Officer address, in the Arena shopping centre on Cardinia Road. Its all-day menu prints a Chicken Parmigiana at $30, described as crumbed chicken breast topped with ham, Napoli sauce and mozzarella, served with simple salad and chips. Garlic Bread (V) is $13 to start. Gordi’s own site gives no opening hours, so these are the Australian Good Food Guide’s: Monday to Thursday 8:00am to 8:00pm, Friday 8:00am to 9:00pm, Saturday 8:30am to 9:00pm and Sunday 8:30am to 8:00pm. Its site also says the place is known for “handcrafted cocktails, premium spirits”.
On the menu (copied from gordi.com.au on 3 October 2026):
- Garlic Bread (V): $13
- Chicken Parmigiana: $30
- Beef Burger: $29
- Vege Burger: $28
Stage: an early date, going by an all-day menu of parmigiana, burgers and garlic bread and listed closing times of 8:00pm to 9:00pm.
O.MY Restaurant — 70 Princes Hwy (corner of Souter Street), Beaconsfield VIC 3807
O.MY runs set seasonal tasting menus, per its menu page. The 4 Course Seasonal Menu is $180 and the 7 Course Seasonal Menu is $245, each “With snacks and sourdough”. The 4 course Drinks Pairing is $110, and the 7 course Drinks Pairing is $145. The same menu lines list a non-alcoholic pairing, which matters if your person doesn’t drink. The page says “Our menu is determined by what our garden and the season currently offers and it changes daily”. We found no opening hours on the pages we read, so check with the restaurant before you plan around a time. Its own site gives the address as 70 Princes Hwy, on the corner of Souter Street.
On the menu (copied from omyrestaurant.com.au on 2 October 2026):
- 7 Course Seasonal Menu: $245
- 7 course Drinks Pairing: $145
- 4 Course Seasonal Menu: $180
- 4 course Drinks Pairing: $110
Split or splurge: splurge, going by the tasting-menu prices. Prices can change, so confirm on the menu page when you book.
Shanikas Pakenham — 7 Lakeside Blvd, Pakenham VIC 3810
Shanikas’ own page says “our restaurant is perfect for any occasion, from casual dining to romantic dinners and lively celebrations”. It lists fresh pasta dishes along with seafood, steak and desserts, and a Vegetarian Menu. The restaurant is open for lunch and dinner seven days a week. Dinner runs 5pm to 9pm Monday to Thursday, 5pm to 9:30pm Friday and Saturday, and 5pm to 8:30pm Sunday and public holidays. We could not read a price list for it, so no price is quoted.
Exit plan: the page also mentions a take-away service, which gives you a night at home if the booking falls through.
Copper & Fox — 1/38 Lakeside Boulevard, Pakenham VIC 3810
Copper & Fox’s beverage menu PDF, whose file name reads Winter 2026, prints “$15 Cocktails - Monday to Thursday” and “$7 WINES - MONDAY TO THURSDAY”. That makes cocktails $15 and wines $7 on those nights. Its own contact page gives two sets of hours. One reads Monday to Thursday 5:00pm to 9:00pm and Friday to Sunday 12:00pm to 9:00pm, and the other reads 5:00pm to 10:00pm and 12:00pm to 11:00pm. We could not read its dinner menu as text, so we quote no food prices.
On the menu (copied from copperandfox.com.au on 2 October 2026):
- Wines, Monday to Thursday offer: $7
- Cocktails, Monday to Thursday offer: $15
Exit plan: because the two sets of hours disagree on closing time, confirm which is right before you book a late table.
DoppioZero Pizzeria & Wine Bar (Beaconsfield) — 10 Brunt Road (Melaleuca Lodge), Beaconsfield VIC 3807
DoppioZero’s site calls it “a family owned and operated restaurant” and says it provides “great traditional Italian pizza to residents of Officer, Clyde North, Berwick, Narre Warren South, Guys Hill and more”. Its hours are Monday to Thursday 5pm to 10pm, Friday 5pm to 11pm, Saturday 12pm to 3pm and 5pm to 9:30pm, and Sunday 12pm to 10pm. The site has an “Order Takeaway” link. We read no price list for it, so no price is quoted.
Say this: “I picked somewhere with pizza and Wine Bar on the sign, and no pressure.” Its name carries “Wine Bar”, but we did not read a wine list.
