7/10 - it was disappointing to hear that our indoor dining reservation was moved outdoors, three days before heading out to Shadowfax. 11 of us were made to brave a somewhat unpleasant day; wet, brisky, etc. It would be much nicer to eat inside in their big dining room. On a positive note, they have some good line up of wines, priced accordingly. I personally prefer their reds. On the food front, good but it's not quite there. The mandatory $55.00 feed me menu is fine, easy for the kitchen staff team to manage and cater. It started well, broccolini (first?) then those yummy warm bread (perfect for a brisky weather), 5 x single WA octopus tentacles to share, then just uneven portions of the steak and chips, 2 bowls of chips and some 4 x 250/300 gms of a very well cooked steak for all of us - see photo, I could have a few more slices, so are everyone else, but just too embarrassed to take more, none left ... then dessert. BTW, just a suggestion Chef, char grilled mini-lettuce would go better with the steak and chips, rather than fresh mini-lettuce cut in half with some cheese shaving on it.

Take GUMBOOTS & OVERCOATS !! . Visited today for lunch on a wet windy day and couldn't gain access without getting mud over the soles of my shoes. Had a booking but was placed on a table right opposite the constantly opening automatic doors ....hence the need for a coat on a chilly day. To their credit the staff moved us to another table as soon as they were able as it was very full. Suggested that some sort "wind break" could solve the problem at very little expense but was told that they had tried this but it kept blowing over so obviously not a new scenario. Tables mainly in straight rows which brought back memories of my school dining room so more suited to group bookings than romantic interludes. Staff were excellent, quick, polite and plenty of smiles. Food reasonable for the price but one of our party received a dish that was luke warm. Summary : Great staff, for a small financial outlay the management could solve the muddy entrance and windy reception. With another "la nina" predicted perhaps sooner than later.

EXPENSIVE DISAPPOINTMENT Being businesswoman myself in past, I refrain from posting negative feedback for any business. But I could not stop myself today. We 7 friends went to ShadowFax winery yesterday for Lunch. The restaurant season requirement is 2 course meal for each person. There were not many options in menu, so We ordered pizza with topping of tiger prawns. After a long wait comes the pizza with 3-4 slices of one small prawns (literally slices of one prawn, AND what happened to Tiger prawn) and creme fraiche only in the middle. Cherry on top is one burnt pizza my friend had to look at and eat. We could not finish those tasteless pizzas at all. The service was worst. We got our deserts after one hour of mains and after reminding them 3 times. so we could not eat the deserts too after such a long break. Here’s photos of pizza and the bill. Two word review -Expensive n Disappointment.

HIGHLY RECOMMEND We had our wedding on July 16th and had looked at a few different wineries in the west but it was clear from the beginning that this was not only the best spot for what we were after but also that shadowfax would be the best to deal with. We wanted something simple and personal and Shadowfax looked after absolutely everything! We had 60 people who fit comfortably at the venue as a seated event, plenty of room to dance and our ceremony was in the cellar with only our immediate family (10 people). The food was not only amazing but it was more than enough! Drinks and cocktails were absolutely amazing and the staff were just outstanding. Huge shout out to Renee, Vanessa and Matthew who made sure it all ran smoothly on the big day. We had a blast and so did our guests. Thank you so much. Carla and Seb

We walked in for a wine tasting on a Saturday afternoon without a booking which was quite nice. Plenty of availability at the bar to sit and enjoy some wines. We wanted to get some wines with pizza after the tasking at 4pm but the kitchen was already closed for savoury dishes. So we ordered a small cheese plate to sit outside on a picnic blanket. You can move the picnic tables where ever you like around the grounds. The cheese plate took about 20 minutes to come out after we had to go inside to ask about it. This was frustrating as there weren’t many customers left and the staff seemed more focused on packing up. They didn’t even provide any napkins or water. Nice space to enjoy some wines but shame about the service.

We had a lovely lunch recently, celebrating a 50th birthday. Upon walking into the winery, we were greeted and guided to our table. We ordered drinks, entrees, and mains. The garlic pizzas were amazing to start us off. There was a large group that came, and clearly, the kitchen & wait staff were under the pump to get all meals out to the group and all other diners. Yes, we waited a bit longer than we had hoped for. But the service and then the offering complimentary drinks, side dishes we're appreciated. Our meals were great portioned, and flavours were amazing. Fulfilling and delicious. First time dining here, and we will definitely be back. Thank you for the delightful tiramasu and candle for my sisters birthday.
