   We were told we needed to vacate table by 2pm. Couldn’t order 30min dessert at 1.30pm. Ordered something else then told 15 mins later table was still available after 2pm as booking had cancelled and no need to hurry. 30 mins later told to vacate table again as there was another booking different to the first one. Very disappointing experience.

   It was so nice to walk into a venue mid winter that was warm!! However the temperature seemed to drop towards the end of the night, which wasn't great. Food was good and so was the service. Open fire area could be made so much more accommodating and would encourgage people to have a drink post dinner. The fact it was soon after 9pm when staff were actively packing up made us almost feel unwelcome to stay on, so we left and went had a couple of vinos elsewhere.

   We had a spicy pork and a lamb pizza with a side of ridiculously delicious French fries, along with a friendly and quick service for a Saturday night. Will definitely come back for chefs selection and wine paddles.

   The staff was not polite . We took a bit long to order our mains and were told the table had to be vacated -did not mind that but the way it was all handled was not at all professional.There was a lot of rudeness.The manager instead of being apologetic argued with us and we’re not ready to listen to us at all .Expected much better service when you come all the way and pay so much

    I went for lunch with friends. Great space, plenty of room and not noisy. Very friendly staff, fast service. Great pizza and delicious cider. But wow the aioli that came with the fries was stunning! I also bought a cool beaker for a gift.

    Cool place to eat out, nice drinks on offer, menu quite restrictive if you’re not a fan of pizza. Pork belly in Paella but not on menu was disappointing as it was delicious.

    We had booked a lunch , enjoyed the pizza it was very nice. Great wines to compliment the style of food offered . The service was exceptional, made sure we were looked after and answered any questions without bother. We enjoyed some time on couches discussing the lovely ambience. The restaurant was fairly full so noise was loud until some cleared out . Overall definitely worth a visit and lunch .

    We almost cooked sitting at a window with the winter sun glaring onto our heads- even with the blinds down (they only go halfway). After we moved tables to avoid the discomfort we noticed another waitress moved an exterior wall to block the sun. The paella was stodgy and lacking in taste but generous. Had the gambero pizza but I wish I’d been warned the chilli pesto was a serious chilli pesto. Pizza was ok but my tastebuds were blistered. Dessert cones were a joke but the churro was nice enough. Wine was good as was service. Appreciated the still and sparkling water. It was ok but I won’t be back

    We did a wine tasting before the meal and Jacob was excellent….we had fun and it wasn’t a chore to explain the wines, he set the tone for an enjoyable lunch! The dining staff were very friendly and attentive. The risotto was a little bland, could have had more of a kick.

    We enjoyed our lunch at Innocent Bystander. But we’re disappointed that a number of things were unavailable. Tgebspeacial pizza of the day had run out (it was 12.30pm), mojitos we’re unavailable because there was no mint, and the cones of Joy’ were also unavailable. But we did enjoy our meal and the venue,

    The service was excellent, the wait staff were very attentive. The menu was a little restricted, maybe just add some more choice. In saying that though, the pizza dough was incredible!! The setting is gorgeous and Healesville is beautiful. Thanks for a lovely night!

    We were fortunate enough to secure a table 48 hours out for our family of four. The service staff kindly relocated our table to find a spot more suitable to fit our pram. The food was lovely especially the butterscotch pudding. OMG, I will certainly come back for more of that dessert!

    I felt waitress was too pushy in moving us along, we were aware of our 2 hour seating (starting at 12:30), but we're expected to leave before 2:30 finish. We felt very under pressure to leave. The 1m board Chef selection for $60 was also quite disappointing, for the price, there was very minimal food.

    We loved our visit to the Innocent Bystander. We did wine tasting before our lunch which was conducted by Jayden. He was very informative and a lot of fun. All the wines we tasted were very nice and we purchased quite a few bottles. We all loved the Aneis and purchased a carafe of this to have with our lunch. We shared a selection of pizzas which were delicious. All in all it was a fantastic experience.
