The Hermitage - Leumeah

With sadness I write this review. The Hermitage was definitely the best restaurant in the MacArthur area. Definitely not any more. The positives are the warm ambience, friendly staff, efficient service. The wine list and food let the equation down badly and are barely cafe...standard. The wine list is now tiny and does not compliment the food. I had a lobster slider and for the main the barramundi. The lobster was overcooked, unimaginative and presented in a commercial bun. Likewise the barra was tasteless and failed to inspire.

A friend arrived to say HI. She had not eaten but did not want a full meal, so we went to the Restaurant for Entree and Dessert. The service was brilliant, friendly, caring but not rushing and as usual the food superb. The Motel is,...as ever, dated like a wonderful Gentlemen's Club in London where you have been before. It's like coming home and putting on your comfortable slippers, everything feels good.

The sandstone walls and lighting make this the ideal place for a romantic meal for two. Grab a spot by the open fireplace if you can. The staff are very friendly but not overbearing and will give you just the right amount of service. You...would never guess such a nice place exists by looking at the outside of the building. Highly recommend. We have also booked their private function room for large gatherings in the past and it has always been great service.

My wife and I had our Wedding Anniversary dinner here. It was quiet and the food and wine was surprisingly very good. Great value.

What a little hidden gem! I was super impressed with dinner the service! Couldn’t fault a thing, we will be back! Thank you for a lovely night out
