Part #2 After our previous visits, we were excited to invite our friends for an easter long weekend lunch. Unfortunately this time our experience wasn't as memorable. The defining factor being the 90min time limit on our stay. I totally understand that turning tables is key during any busy period, but it shouldn't come at the cost of the diner. By the time we settled, decided on wine and chose our meals, we were already 15min into our allotted time. Then as the restaurant filled and the kitchen got busier, the main meals took longer to arrive leaving us with only 20min. We overheard two other tables also express their disappointment when told it was time to vacate by their waitress. I would make a strong recommendation that they please extend seatings to 2hrs. The food this time was a little less "wow", and a little more "meh". The usual punchy flavour profiles and finesse we had experienced previously just weren't there this time around. One more thing, we told our waitress we would be sharing the entrees between four of us, so when each dish arrived with only three pieces we were a little bemused. Had we been told, we would have been happy to pay more so to increase portion sizing as to share each dish evenly. It's this attention to detail that separates good from great restaurants. Part #1 The Clare Valley just keeps on giving... Nestled amongst vines and guarded by old man olive tree, Skillogalee delivers an array of classic & traditional al la carte dishes with bags of flavour. Sometimes you don't want a Chef thats trying to reinvent the wheel, you just want food that is honest and damn tasty. The day we visited, Chef was cooking homemade Chicken & Leek pies to order... yes to order! The pastry and filling was incredible; so much so, I ordered one for desert (true story) hahaha. Just make sure you allocate a few hours for your visit, because anything less would be a shame.

We came for some wine tastings and it was the best experience of the day. We opted for Estate tasting $15 aud, as well as for Portfolio tasting $35 aud. It was great. Since we had a reservation, but were slightly late, there was no issue with that and very quickly we were offered a table that was already preset for our tasting experience. The young lady serving us was friendly, informative and very proactive, that made us feel welcome. The portfolio tasting does take some time, but being in such a lovely setting time passed very quickly. We also chose to order some cheese from the short menu. They do not offer a fixed cheese platter, but instead one can select different cheese from the menu, and that way to design your own cheese plate - we thought it was an excellent approach. Wines itself were tasty and worth trying indeed. It was the end of our wine trip in Clare Valley of that day and we could not have chosen for a better place.

The wine is AMAZING!! Have been to five vineyards in Clare now and none have come close. The Basket Press Shiraz is such good value! Mmmm, yummo! We left with four bottles but also took the order form. The resident doggo was super adorable too!! (The drawcard for us visiting in the first place after seeing reviews). Was nice we could enjoy a tasting outside with the doggos by the heater too. Service was good but not super 'warm'. Review is more for the wine :)

My advice - save your money and dine elsewhere in the many excellent Clare Valley restaurants. We waited nearly two hours to receive our meal. The wait staff were unapologetic for the delay when we asked what was happening. When finally delivered to our table, the children's "oven baked chicken bits" were an embarrassment (my son described them as "chicken toe nails"). The bits were small, chewy, floury and had obviously been overcooked; further there were only 6-7 bits the size of a 10...

Winery: The wines aren't the standout reason to visit as the restaurant experience is so fabulous. That being said, the wines are all very drinkable and sparkling Riesling is not common so it's definitely worth stopping by. Restaurant: Beautiful food at a great location! Perfect for a romantic occasion or a meal with a small group. (More than 6 would be a challenge). If the weather is suitable, reserve a table under the tree outside. If it's chilly, the verandah is closed in with...
