   I really enjoyed the prawn pasta and the chicken pizza that we ordered. The place is stunning. All the staff are super friendly and accommodating. The one assigned to our table was very sensitive to our needs. Thank you so much!

   We started with a wine tasting here on Australia day 2023 and from the moment we drove into the property and walked to the cellar door, we were in awe of the place. The wine tasting experience was so enjoyable we almost forgot about our lunch booking but glad we didn't miss it because it was the cherry on the icing of the cake of our visit. The service, food and ambience was incredible. The flat bread for starters was out of this world. I had the pasta with crab and hubby had the lamb - both were delicious but the lamb was truly amazing and we both can't strop raving about it! The staff deserve a special mention because of their friendly, helpful and attentive service. What a fantastic overall experience. We will definitely be back.

   Our visit to Bendooley Estate was a mother/daughter date to celebrate her birthday. Our dining experience couldn’t have been nicer. Our table overlooked the vineyard, the food was lovely and the staff attentive. Dining aside, everything about this estate oozes elegance; every nook, indoors and out, was inviting. And the fact that it is located just outside the quaint little town of Berrima (browsing heaven) makes it one of our favourite destinations.

   We had a great lunch with a lovely view to the vines. Our meals with matching wines were wonderful. Service was only adequate as staff were young and inexperienced. We felt that the wait staff needed more management support and guidance. The mood of staff was demure - there were no smiles or small talk at all. We did manage to get a smile from the poor girl who had dropped a bunch of plates that no-one came to assist her clean up. As locals who frequently support Bendooley, we were saddened to see this unhappy workplace.

    Overall a fair experience. We had a table facing the vineyard, so nice views and food came on time and was tasty. The issue was with the service, we wanted to order some desert and coffee but the venue was already being winded down. We had a 2.00pm lunch booking on a Saturday.

    The service was amazing! All staff members that my mum and I came across were friendly, knowledgeable, and professional. The food was delicious and of course the wine was so good I had to head to the cellar door to buy a couple of bottles for home.

    We found it very hard to believe we had not heard of Bendooley Estate. Chose because they have an electric car charger and offered lunch. Absolutely beautiful spot. Restaurant with a bookstore is a nice touch. Great facilities. Super-efficient staff. Incredibly busy for a Tuesday. Excellent food

    Everything was lovely but the service let it down. Not attentive or personal service at all. We had to ask twice for water. We had to ask for drink on arrival after waiting a bit. Main plates were not cleared for a very long time. We feel that once the set up commenced for the Wedding, the left over patrons were ignored. Love the vineyard and everything else about the venue.

    Arrived on time, seated. After being completely ignored for 20 minutes we called a waiter over to at least take a drinks order. Margherita Pizza beyond disappointing, we came here for the thin crust pizza but this was biscuit-like, zero topping, dry. Nothing like what we’ve had on numerous previous visits. Fattousch Salad a tiny bowl of soggy salad chunks, poor value at $22. What’s happened to what was one of our favourite restaurants?

    Had a wonderful lunch here at Bendooley Estate. This was our third time so we have now experienced all the dining locations, and the outdoor setting was just purr-fect for the lovely sunny, not too hot day that we had. Initially we were concerned that at least one of us might end up sitting in the direct sun, but quickly discovered that all tables had great shade for the entirety of the lunch. Food was excellent as usual. All three of us had the Blue Crab Linguine which was a great choice. Barbara looked after us extremally well and was very knowledgeable about what wines would suit us as she had also worked on the cellar door and was therefore conversant with the Estate’s wines. Love the ambience of the place and look forward to further visits.
