Dinner Series with Champagne Billecart Salmon
A$220.00 per person
Prepaid
Sep 19, 2022 only
Join us for a four course dining adventure along the exceptional paths of the Billecart vineyards, hosted by Pierre Pommarede. The champagnes of Maison Billecart-Salmon are above all created thanks to the knowledge of the men who rigorously cultivate an estate of 100 hectares, obtaining grapes from an area totalling 300 hectares across 40 crus of the Champagne region. The majority of the grapes used for vinification come from a radius of 20km around Epernay, where the Grand Crus of Pinot Noir, Pinot Meunier and Chardonnay co-exist, in the ethereal vineyards of the Montagne de Reims, the Vallée de la Marne and the Côte des Blancs. Champagne and canapes from 7pm followed by dinner.

We had a great night - a fantastic table and awesome service. Food was good but should've been better given the price. Two of us had very tough steaks. One of the party had the chicken and it had half the normal amount of corn mash that usually is served. Our booking was for 8.30pm so we would've been one of the last to eat - it looked like the kitchen had got tired and was low on ingredients.

Went with a group of 5 for busy Tuesday $20 steak night. We had only booked for 4 and the staff were really accomodating in adding a last minute extra person (despite how busy they were). Food came out quickly, hot and steaks cooked as requested. Great vibe and friendly. We will be back :)

Thank you for the efforts of the staff on the night. The attention we received was greatly appreciated, but we did have a concern about the appropriate COVID Safe Plans in place. The tables were very close together and we would have appreciated a little more space.

Steaks took 50 mins to come out and they were over cooked. We asked for med rare and they were very well done. Drinks service was slow and each drink was serviced one at a time for a table of 4. Very strange. All that was needed was a bar tray.

Nice pub with a good vibe, but a couple of issues with the food. The chocolate pudding dessert was REALLY small. As for the steaks, one was requested as “well done” but was far past that point and completely dry. Maybe due to pumping out so many steaks for their Tuesday steak special. Unlikely to go back.

I know prices are up right across the board, but $48 for the 300g scotch fillet would be fine if the meat was more 8mm thick. Very difficult to get any flavour in the cooking when it’s so thin. By the time you get some charring happening it’s too well done. All the flavour is from a salty baste, and it was pretty tasty. Also, regular old pub chips. Restaurant price (in the restaurant, sure) but regular pub quality.
