    We had the 3 course set menu with matched wines followed by dessert. The first two courses were extremely good. The Venison was particularly good as was the king fish. The food was beautifully presented. Service was also excellent. The 3rd course wasn’t at quite the same level. The chicken was good but the beef dish was a bit bland, compared to the rest of the food. The poached peach dessert & fudge were a nice option to finish with. The wine was nice but not outstanding. Overall, I thought the meal was very good value for money. Proportions were quite generous. We also tasted a couple of wines after our meal and found Ernie to be very knowledgeable and pleasant. This is a minor point but the toilets at this establishment are well overdue for renovation and way below the level expected for this type of restaurant. They look like they hadn’t been improved in 40 plus years. There was no paper towel. I was really surprised by it. It felt like I’d missed the nice bathroom & found the staff toilet, by mistake. It wouldn’t cost much to upgrade these facilities from the 1980s. Toilets were tiny and very low to the ground and reminded me of the toilets at my primary school. (!) (Worst bathroom from the last 30 decent restaurants I’ve been to.)

    The 3 course meal was amazing! Beautiful food, great service and a great selection of wines to choose from! All of the staff are very helpful and while visiting the cellar door, the tastings and sales staff were very friendly.

    We enjoyed the lunch degustation with matched wines. The food was excellent, and ample. We also added a few extra glasses of wine. The wait staff were very knowledgeable, friendly and the atmosphere very relaxed. A lovely special occasion venue and beautiful surrounds. We'll be highly recommending the restaurant to others. Thank you!

    This was our second visit for lunch, last one was 18months ago, we came back especially to dune here again and we were not disappointed at all. Menu had some similarities but was new. We were given wonderful descriptions of each plate. A really special experience again.
