Correction (10 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 5 October 2026 and 9 October 2026, and every price was copied from the page it was published on.
A dinner date works best when you know the hours, the price band and whether you can hear each other. This page lists five sit-down places in Point Cook, all checked against their own pages and a second source.
Only two of them use date-night wording. One is a customer review printed on Lovesick Bar’s own site, and the other is a phrase on Sanctuary Lakes Hotel’s site. The other three are here as sit-down dinners, and we make no romance claim for them.

Lovesick Bar — 4/16 Kenswick Street (corner Saltwater Promenade), Point Cook VIC 3030
Lovesick’s own site lists Thursday 5 PM to 10 PM, Friday and Saturday 4 PM to 11 PM, Sunday 4 PM to 8 PM, and Monday to Wednesday closed. It lists kitchen hours separately: Thursday 5-10pm, Friday 4-10pm and Saturday 4-10pm. A review printed on that site says Best place for a date night!, which is a customer’s line, not the bar’s. The site also says it does not offer a kids menu or highchairs. It lists a happy hour from 4pm to 6pm with an Espresso Martini at $17, so check the days with the bar.
On the menu (copied from lovesickbar.com.au/eat-drink on 9 October 2026):
- Edamame (VG/GF): $9
- Pork Dumplings (5): $14
- Fried Chicken (5) (GF): $20
- Szechwan Squid (GF): $22
Split or splurge: split a few plates from the printed menu, such as the Edamame (VG/GF) at $9 and the Pork Dumplings (5) at $14.
Sanctuary Lakes Hotel — 280 Point Cook Rd, Point Cook VIC 3030
The hotel’s own site prints open daily, 10AM - 4AM. It describes a more high-class, intimate affair for the loving couple in the romantic Cruz Bar, which is its wording, not ours. Its buffet page lists lunch Friday to Sunday and dinner Wednesday to Sunday, and the site lists a parma special on Tuesday and Thursday with lunch from 12 noon and dinner from 5.30PM. AGFG tags it with Disabled Access and Alfresco Dining. Its sports bar page lists schooners at $7 during happy hour, Monday to Friday 5-6PM and Saturday 12-4PM.
On the menu (copied from slhotel.com.au/sports-bar on 9 October 2026):
- Schooners (Sports Bar happy hour Monday to Friday 5-6pm, Saturday 12-4pm): $7
Stage: AGFG tags Disabled Access here, and the site names a Cruz Bar for couples, so ask about that room when you call.
Greg Norman Bar & Restaurant (Sanctuary Lakes Golf Club) — 70 Greg Norman Drive, Point Cook VIC 3030
The club’s own site pitches the Greg Norman Bar & Restaurant as a place for a bar meal over the 18th Fairway and Island Green. It also mentions newly added air-conditioning. Its hours block lists Monday to Wednesday 7am to 6pm, Thursday 7am to 9pm, Friday and Saturday 7am to 11pm, and Sunday 7am to 7pm. The menu PDF lists a Chicken schnitzel at $29 and Fish & chips at $26. The menu says member discounts apply to all items, so check with the club about visiting.
On the menu (copied from sanctuarylakesclub.com.au/Current-Menu-Greg-Norman.pdf on 9 October 2026):
- The SLGC burger: $27
- Chicken schnitzel: $29
- Classic chicken parmigiana: $29
- Fish & chips: $26
Say this: ask the club whether non-members can dine before you plan around it, since the menu says member discounts apply.
Miss Pickle 1971 Point Cook — Shop 402A, 1 Main Street, Point Cook VIC 3030
Miss Pickle’s site says its food will take you onto the streets and into the kitchens of Athens, Beirut, Tel Aviv & Cyprus, so think Mediterranean with Greek influences. The site lists hours as Monday - Sunday: 11:00am - 9:00pm and offers Online Booking. Stockland’s store page also lists it. This page prints no price for it.
Exit plan: its site offers Online Booking, and Stockland’s store page lists it, so a wander through the centre afterwards is plan B.
Cocochine — Shop 131, 5 Murnong Street, Point Cook VIC 3030
Cocochine’s own site says its fusion dishes include a Japanese bento box, Malaysian laksa and Thai curry. It lists hours of Tuesday to Thursday 5 - 9 pm, Friday and Saturday 12 - 3 pm and 5 - 9:30 pm, and Sunday 12 - 3 pm and 5 - 9 pm, with Monday closed. The site shows a Takeaway Menu and a Gluten Free label. Stockland’s store page lists it too. This page prints no price for it.
Talk-ability: this page has no noise detail for it, but its site lists Monday as closed, so plan your date for Tuesday to Sunday.
