I had a wonderful lunch at this restaurant. The menu had numerous options and the food was delicious. The staff was very friendly and provided us with a lot of information about our upcoming visit to the Hunter Valley.

We tried the restaurant for the first time today, pleasantly surprised. Friendly staff, good food and wine selection. Meals were pretty good, wouldn't say excellent, but definitely will come back.

Make sure not to overlook this place when it's quiet or empty. We visited while celebrating and the food was absolutely delicious. The dinner was well presented and fresh, making it one of the best meals we've had. Definitely worth a try.

Under new management, so understanding that it's all very new, however, sadly, we did not enjoy. Very extensive menu, but didn't really hit the mark with many items. Pizza seemed like a McCain's frozen badboy, pork belly dry, occy tasted slightly past its used by date. Steak was good, so maybe stick to what they do well until more established?? Happy to try again in future, but might let some time pass first.

What an exceptional experience! We took our 3 and 5 year old with us and whilst we were treated to 5 star fine dining, the kids had their own awesome menu as well. The kids steak, chips and salad was the best quality kids meal I've ever seen. We had seared scallops, pork belly, risotto and two amazing desserts. It's the best fine dining we've experienced without needing a babysitter. What an amazing find in our travels.
