What Anonym dislikes about Windy Point:
Was surprised people had brought young children. We are known for our love of kids. Not appropriate for a star venue. As it turned out menu was not to our liking. I prefer to choose my own food. Place was… More View all feedback.
My initial attempt to leave a restaurant a one star review never done that before. First off, they didn't provide a contact number when I booked, only email, which was a real hassle. 1. During the booking, we made it clear that we'd be bringing our own wine for a special occasion. The restaurant agreed to a $30 fee for opening the bottle, which seemed fair. However, when we asked if we could snap a quick pic of the wine opening process (just the hand and the wine, no faces), they initially agreed, but later, without making a fuss, took our bottle to a corner to open it. When I asked again about taking a photo, the guy opening the wine had a really bad attitude and kept grumbling under his breath. By this point, my experience was already soured. 2. We had our 7 year old with us, and when we booked online, we couldn't choose between the regular and children's menus. We were stuck with the $125 per person adult set menu. 3. This was my third time at this restaurant; I visited in 2016 and 2021, but this time was beyond disappointing. The service hit a new low, and the food was downright terrible. I'm not a picky eater, but this time it was a struggle to even swallow. Both my 7 year old and my partner couldn't eat, and at one point, I felt like I was going to dry heave. Imagine frying a fatty piece of meat until it's halfway cooked and then drowning it in honey. Many dishes were just nauseating. I'm embarrassed about the $125 per person charge. 4. On my previous visits, I would have tipped $50 because the staff was genuinely friendly and made the dining experience enjoyable. But this time, during checkout, the guy who opened our wine rushed over and insisted we tip using the swipe machine. This made me so uncomfortable, and I don't want to deal with his bad attitude and complaints anymore. So, this is the last time I'll be a patron, and I tipped $50 as a final regrettable decision. The restaurant seems to rely on its unique view and has lost its touch with food quality. I'm a generous diner, but I have taste and sense. I won't be coming back.
125 and it was excellent Meal type: Dinner Price per person: A$100–120 Food: 5 Service: 5 Atmosphere: 5
The only reason why I gave 3 stars is because we were given seating 's with one of the worst view of the house. And we booked well over a month (Mar 4th) before dining April 7th. And we traveled so far to get there. This would be the managers faults since he said ...the best I can do for you . And the manage Derrick asked if I wanted to tip when I was paying (Embarrassing for the restaurant that they have to ask); I felt we deserved better than that. For those that doesn 't know the Aussie culture, we do not tip in Australia as locals. The minimum wages starts off really high, whereas, the wages as a wait staff in USA is low therefore we tip if the service was excellent. I 've been around Australia since Feb 2014 so I KNOW this. Excellent service deserves a tip. A tip is NOT earned by asking for it..... ANYWHERE in the world. The service and food was excellent. I will post a YouTube Food Travel review about this establishment soon to come.
The views of the city at Windy Point are undoubtedly a winning aspect of the long time romanticised restaurant. So to finally be treated with dinner here was a long awaited feat for me. Unfortunately, and perhaps this was partly due to the raving reviews and reputation of the restaurant I had grown to understand, my experience here fell short of my expectations. The food was for the most part delicious however the menu itself is very standard traditional fine dining. Signature steak and red meat for the most part with a few fish dishes and even less vegetarian options. We ordered the house made gnocchi for entree. Unfortunately it lacked the melt in your mouth aspect I was expecting from freshly made gnocchi. For mains we ordered the wagyu corned beef brisket which was absolutely delicious. Cooked to perfection. It was fairly salty though and had a rich sauce. The Lamb rump shoulder unfortunately was a bit on the over well done side. Sides ordered were the Korean fried Broccoli and sweet potato. We loved both dishes although everything was deep fried and it became a bit much. It would have been nice to accompany our rich mains with sides that were fresh to break it up. For dessert we chose the popular Chocolate Melange for two the signature board of mini desserts. This was amazing. Word of warning, we were in struggle town by this point but you are able to opt to take away what you can't finish. Good service is extremely important to me, and this was the down side. For an expensive fine dining restaurant with so many staff, our wait times were terrible. We were not checked upon and particularly between dinner and dessert, we waited almost an hour. It took a few reminders for our dessert to finally come. And after eventually giving up and asking for the bill, it came. Our waitress offered another round of drinks on the house but by that point we were bursting from eating so much that we couldn't possibly fit anything else in. It would have been appreciated if we were offered the dessert on the house instead and we were extremely dissatisfied with their failure to compensate for their overlook in service. Overall the food was enjoyable but it wasn't the best and I've enjoyed better food at more reasonable prices elsewhere. For the steep outlay and reputation they pride themselves on I expected a much higher level of service and taste across the board.
