    My girlfriend and I had a lunch on a visit to Castlemaine. Flavourful dishes for reasonable prices. The interior decoration is beautiful. A great stop for very good food with a great service.

    Couldn’t fault it. Great food, fabulous service, good value, and the noise level was fantastic. So quiet we could actually have a conversation! I wish this restaurant was closer to where I live, I would eat here regularly. Thank you for a great experience.
