We had a delightful lunch with friends in the stunning gardens. The food was delicious, with a concise yet thoughtfully curated menu that catered to a variety of tastes. The pork entrée, served on a shared plate, was exquisite. This venue offers a wonderful atmosphere, fantastic food, and attentive staff.

I had lunch here today and the staff were incredibly friendly, despite being short-staffed. The menu offered a great variety, with something for everyone. They have an extensive craft beer selection and a nice choice of wines by the glass. The beer garden really lives up to its top ten rating. It's just a short drive from Bendigo, making it a must-visit!

This restaurant is outstanding, with a fantastic location and a lovely atmosphere. You have the option to dine indoors or in their shaded courtyard, which is surrounded by beautiful gardens. The service is impressive, and they offer a great selection of both alcoholic and non-alcoholic beverages. I highly recommend the Ginger Ninja mocktail—it’s delicious! The menu features an array of food choices, ranging from lighter starters and share plates to hearty entrees and generously sized mains, along with tempting desserts. I tried the crispy eggplant bao buns, and they were absolutely divine. There are vegetarian and meat options available for every course. Enjoy your meal! The restaurant is located directly across from the Victoria Hill gardens and old mine works, which is a lovely area to explore. You can find a fully preserved old mine battery and poppet head nearby.

I went here for dinner with my fiancé and we really enjoyed it. Beautiful meals, lovely staff, and brilliant atmosphere. We sat outside in the garden, which was definitely a brilliant decision. Will definitely go back again.
