    Our lunch was amazing, full of flavour, beautifully cooked and presented. The staff were faultless in their attention to detail and the service they provided. There’s nothing about your resturant that we would change.

    The cellar was excellent - the food in restaurant sub-standard and it took us one hour wait to get the entre. Service great in cellar but not in restaurant. We sat in a beautiful spot on the deck over looking the beautiful valley but unfortunately also next to a large garden of mulch ??

    This may have just been the best three course meal I have ever eaten. The wagyu and pork croquettes for entree were superb, the rump cap was to die for and the pavlova was delightfully fresh. The service was also wonderful and the venue was intimate and personal.

    Staff and ambience were great, but the food was a let down unfortunately. Our steak dishes had two different steaks cut up and placed on the plate. We could tell this by the colour, sizes and taste. It was very obvious. Our duck was rolled, not on the bone like the menu / photos suggested and over-cooked unfortunately. For $70 per person I think it was fairly over priced for what we received. (+Tiny dessert) Given the restaurant was extremely busy for Fathers Day, the staff did a great job and were very hospitable and friendly.

    I booked in for friends and I for the Sunday roast, thinking it was the only option available. Turns out you could also order from normal menu. It was advertised to be porchetta, but turned out to be sirloin roast - and one friend is on a beef farm, so that wasn’t very good for her! They catered for gluten free which was great. Entree and desert were delicious!

    Had amazing lunch at Tokar estate, double cooked duck leg was outstanding. Only thing probably could have improved was the steak. Waitering staff didn’t ask how we would like to have steak done and came out more medium, a bit overcooked then I would like.

    The food and service at your restaurant was excellent. The only thing I would say is that we felt like the staff were hovering over us to get out. We were the last table to leave but if you do not want people to be eating so late and staff want to finish up for the day I would suggest not offering 2.30 and 2.45 time slots. I was also telephoned on Friday and recommended a roast as we were a party of 10 people. Rest assured if that was the only option offered to us I would have cancelled the booking and gone elsewhere. Thankfully we were able to have the a la carte menu. To suggest that someone should pay $80 for a roast is a disgrace not to mention the fact that not everyone was drinking alcohol meant that the free glass of wine was not something that everyone would have had. The point is if I wanted a roast dinner I can cook that myself. Having said all that it was a beautiful a la carte meal and the wine was excellent. The service was also very good.

    Tokar EstateResponded on July 21, 2023

    Thanks for leaving a review GayeR, we are thrilled to hear you enjoyed both the food and service during your visit! We appreciate all constructive feedback and will raise your points with the team. Indeed we offer a four course Winter roast menu, which is $80 and includes a glass of estate wine. It has been immensely popular the last few weeks, however we do appreciate it's not for everyone and are pleased to offer both menu options to our guests We look forward to your next visit!
