We made a booking for a group of 12 and as we were being seated we told the kitchen is very busy and food will take awhile. We ordered food and it came out quick considering how busy it was. However getting drinks was not as quick. 10 deep at the bar and very slow service. Ok experience mostly enjoyed by our group. Plenty of parking located next door. Lots of seating inside. I would recommend booking in advance.

We had an absolutely wonderful experience dining here. The food was nothing short of delicious — every dish was beautifully presented, full of flavour, and clearly prepared with great care and quality ingredients. From the first bite to the last, everything exceeded our expectations. What truly made the evening exceptional was the hostess, Tania. She was warm, welcoming, and incredibly attentive, making us feel comfortable from the moment we arrived. Her professionalism and genuine friendliness set the tone for a perfect night. Outstanding food, impeccable service, and a fantastic atmosphere — we can’t wait to return. Highly recommend!

We had our son’s 21st in Rose Garden 1. It was truly a magical evening. The area looked spectacular and welcoming. The staff made our experience seamless. The food was delicious, hot and on time. JC our bartender was so friendly and attentive to our guests. Special shout out to Ethan, who was event organiser and host extraordinaire, and Kathryn our event coordinator. Communication was excellent. Fantastic value for money. Highly recommend for any event.

⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ I was feeling a bit down when I stopped by Bella Vista Hotel, but Zac behind the bar absolutely turned my evening around. He made me the best cocktail 🍸 you can truly taste the care and attention he puts into every drink. His service is amazing, he really listens, and he makes you feel seen and looked after. If you want a drink made with love and a great chat to go with it, go and see Zac at the bar. Highly recommend! 🍸✨
