Received a warm welcome upon arrival. You have a choice from 2 course lunch menu with a glass of wine or a la carte. The entree was shared with 2 types of meat terrine and pickled veggies which were very tart! Choice of 3 mains and unfortunately we chose pasta. It was with pesto and capsicum . Very average . The truffle highly recommend !

The service, ambience and wines were excellent, however the food (pork roast) was disappointing as there was a lot of fat and very little meat to share amongst the four of us. We have eaten there before and the food was excellent, so I was surprised that the quality had deteriorated. Hopefully it will improve next time as every other aspect was very enjoyable.

We had a good weekend out at Tokar Eatate in Valley Valley. We liked the burring garden and the ambience of where we dined. However the food was average especially pasta lacked seasoning which we found a bit disappointing. Staff was attentive though there’s a large group they’re serving at the same time.

We had a nice lunch at Tokar for mother’s day. Few things to note: the kitchen did their best to keep up during the rush but that didn’t avoid us waiting a long time for food, which would be ok if just a couple but having young kids with us made it a bit stressful. The food was good, not amazing and at 125$ per adult and $50 per kid (even for a 3 and 5 year old) it did not represent good value. The wait staff did her best to make things move so much appreciated

We have been to this restaurant many times over the years for special occasions. The food is generally great and of generous portions. We came here for Mother's Day celebration today. We had the set menu prepared by Frosty's kitchen. Service was great as usual. We enjoyed the appetisers and entrees. The lamb shoulder was delicious and tender. However, we find the chicken a bit dry. And the sticky date pudding was not warm enough. The butter scotch sauce was warm, but the pudding itself was a bit cold. We appreciate that the restaurant offered us a round table as requested during reservation. The slightly lower rating on the food was based on today's experience only and noting that it was not by their usual chef. Tokar Estate is by far still my favourite winery restaurants

Never disappoints. Great location, spectacular views, friendly and attentive, but know when to let enjoy the food on offer, plates are warm, and the flavours and aromas memorable. Wine is worth it, and thanks for a great day.
