    First visit to this iconic Australian wine home. Everything was first class from the wine to the food and service. The tasting in the cellar was also first rate as we were treated to some exceptional aged wines. Can’t recommend the destination highly enough.

    Friday lunch reservation for my Mums birthday. Dominic's service was attentive and knowledgeable. Delivered with a smile and nothing was too much trouble. Courses were visually appealing, scrumptious and thoroughly enjoyed. Wonderful autumn day to look out at inside a warm, ambient setting, loved the open kitchen. Value for money was as expected for this fine dining experience which we truly savoured. Would highly recommend

    We had the 3 course set menu with matched wines followed by dessert. The first two courses were extremely good. The Venison was particularly good as was the king fish. The food was beautifully presented. Service was also excellent. The 3rd course wasn’t at quite the same level. The chicken was good but the beef dish was a bit bland, compared to the rest of the food. The poached peach dessert & fudge were a nice option to finish with. The wine was nice but not outstanding. Overall, I thought the meal was very good value for money. Proportions were quite generous. We also tasted a couple of wines after our meal and found Ernie to be very knowledgeable and pleasant. This is a minor point but the toilets at this establishment are well overdue for renovation and way below the level expected for this type of restaurant. They look like they hadn’t been improved in 40 plus years. There was no paper towel. I was really surprised by it. It felt like I’d missed the nice bathroom & found the staff toilet, by mistake. It wouldn’t cost much to upgrade these facilities from the 1980s. Toilets were tiny and very low to the ground and reminded me of the toilets at my primary school. (!) (Worst bathroom from the last 30 decent restaurants I’ve been to.)
