Booked at Sunset Food and Wine to celebrate a special birthday with a group of friends. The ambience of the restaurant was delightful with spectacular views. We had the feed me menu- which every course was delicious and presented beautifully. The wait staff were attentive without being intrusive. An excellent experience and would highly recommend

A special lunch whilst on Kangaroo Island. We were lucky to have perfect weather & only 2 other diners. The view is simply stunning & the menu so interesting. We chose The $98 per head degustation menu & thought it was excellent value- the food, without exception was perfect, served with a smile by our lovely Italian waitress. Plenty of wine choices available by the glass, & excellent coffee.
