My husband & I enjoyed a leisurely lunch at The Verandah. We arrived well after a conventional lunch time but we were never made to feel like a nuisance. We were lucky enough to have Sharon caring for us, she was professional yet relaxed and friendly. The chosen tapas dishes of duck liver parfait, trio of oysters and baby calamari... More

Sitting in quiet rural splendour on the 2nd floor verandah soaking in the spring sun is a great experience. The enthusiasm of the owner permeates the menu and the staff.

This is a tapas style restaurant which we thoroughly enjoyed. It was different and innovative. We had dinner here and tried 5 tapas plates. We would like to go back and try some more of their cuisine. The venue would be particularly nice for lunch or for dinner in summer when you could sit at a table on the verandah... More

I recently had a long lunch here and found the service and food absolutely fantastic. My sister and I hosted our parents surprise bday party here with 36 members of our family. Matt was more than accommodating with our requests like the cake, seating arrangements, bday banners, etc. The food was really good - we had a $58 set menu... More

The second of a trio visited over the weekend. Lunch on Saturday April 28. Service was pretty good. The tapas food served ranged from very good ( calamari and pork belly), to mixed (mushrooms - one serve perfect and the other badly burnt), to a downright ordinary lamb dish that was as dry as you could get, tasteless, boring and...
