    Helpful waitress. Food good. It was a bit stuffy in room and fan didn’t seem to circulate air to that side of room. Plus there were many little bugs on window and annoying one of the diners.

    Our second visit & both times very noisy with lots of kids & very loud music which the waitress said couldn’t be turned down as it had to be kept at that level. Although later she did manage to get it turned down. Or maybe it was drowned out by the mums group & kids also lunching there.

    I've been twice in last weekend, once for a work function and once for a Christmas lunch. The service was outstanding on both occasions and the food fresh and interesting. The views are lovely. However when it is a full house, the noise inside from tables and the music is overwhelming. Recommend booking a table on rhe verandah to escape noise and maximise the views

    This was our first time at Wayward Winery and we were very pleased with our experience. We decided to try a varied selection off the menu and everything was amazing. For starters we had chorizo and potato empanadas and zucchini flowers stuffed with yabbies, for mains we had a prawn and zucchini pizza and the beef ribs which were melt in the mouth and the olive oil orange and ricotta cake was heavenly. We would highly recommend this venue. The only downside was it was very noisy with several large groups celebrating birthdays. We sat outside on the balcony and were very pleased with our decision.
