What people say
Very cute restaurant in hunter valley. Honestly wasn’t expecting much because it was the only restaurant in walking distance of where we were staying but we were very impressed from the ambience, service, and the food! The food is on the price side but does make sense for the location and quality. We got the scallops and the burger (unfortunately forgot to take pictures) both very good, and then came back for breakfast to get the salmon bagel and yogurt bowl (pictured). A bit process for breakfast but again, makes sense for the location and they have a very cute patio deck to sit and enjoy
Beautiful experience, great service, food, and I liked the pisco sour!! It's just a bit noisy if there a party inside so, we decide to take our food outside where we had a beautiful kangaroos view! A day to remember!
Lucky we made a booking. This place was very packed and no walkins even ~ 3pm. No table service.. need to order at the bar and sometimes the wait time is more than 40min ( which the team were open about)... we were waiting on nuts and olives for like 20min. That said, tried the entree/ starters which were decent. The staff were friendly. It's OK if you are in the area but not worth a drive out. Not missing much.
This is a MUST VISIT!!!! The feel, the food, the space, this place ticks every box!! Amazing staff, great menu, fast service and kid friendly (outside). 5/5 all round.
Every dish was thoughtfully prepared and absolutely delicious!! We ordered the scallops and lemon chicken. The scallops were perfectly cooked and absolutely tasty - super buttery and soft. The chicken was super tender and fall apart with the perfect amount of gravy. Gosh the salad that accompanied the chicken dish was perfectly massaged with balsamic and olive oil which paired amazingly with the meal. Don’t get me started on the potato’s, just piping hot and how i love it - the crystallised salt on the potatoes and the dishes enhanced every flavour ! Would come again, send my regards to Jimmy
