Overall an amazing place to eat and drink
We got the pork belly, lamb ribs and steak for lunch. The tart, creme brulee and coffee for dessert. Everything but the steak was 10/10. I was impressed by the ribs and pork belly. The flavour was on point.
Unfortunately I was expecting a great steak at $65 and was given something chewy and full of sinue ( probly spelt that wrong). I reckon a fifth of the steak was inedible. The actual meat was chewy. This is the only reason I gave 4 stars. I would definitely return to this place but wouldn't order the steak 😅. I did give this verbal feedback and was advised the kitchen was told and that's it, no kitchen staff or the owner came to get more information about the issue. A bit disappointing. It's obvious when a steak is full of tough fibres and fat. So this should have never been served in my opinion. A bit of quality control with meat goes a long way
Dessert was yum. Coffee was great. Service and atmosphere was 👌🏻. The view of the river and vineyard was...
Read moreArrived early thinking we could do a wine tasting at a winery with a cellar door- nope, was abruptly informed they couldn't accomodate that 😐 When we did sit for lunch, two of our party orders entrees, sadly only one arrived. It took 10 minutes for the second to arrive, only to be sent back because they forgot it was ordered as gluten fee. Another 20 minutes and entrees were finally served. Meals were hit and miss but generally below expectations. Some staff were good, others simply shouldn't be in the industry. To top things off, our dairy allergic diner had a serious reaction to dairy in on of the meals. To be clear, we listed all allergies when booking, and reiterated these when ordering. When we informed them of the issue, we were met with denial (unfortunately, this has happened before so we knew exactly what had occurred). It's a great spot but overall, go for a wine tasting, maybe, but would not eat here, particularly if you have...
Read moreWe arrived a little earlier than our booking time but were told we couldn’t do a wine tasting as they had a paddle steamer group coming in. After going for a walk, we came back and were able to do our tasting before lunch, though the knowledge shared about the wines was quite limited.
When booking, we had advised of all allergies and intolerances. Unfortunately, one entrée was served containing dairy and had to be remade, which took around 20 minutes. Later, after the mains were served, one of our guests—who is strictly dairy free—had a bad reaction to their meal. When raised, the response we received was simply that the dish was dairy free, with little acknowledgment or apology.
Within our group of 10, some meals were good while others were only average. Overall, the service fell short of expectations, especially compared to previous winery...
