We chose this restaurant to celebrate my 50th Birthday, what a let down!! We had crab pate, pickled herring, esperance scallops (2 each to be exact!!), Manjimup gnocchi.. Terrible, bland and a complete waste of money. The menu is difficult, plastered over 4 or 5 boards, the selection is poor and we found we just chose because we had no... More

Uncle!! I throw in the towel. I am beaten. It has taken 13 years of being a human dart board to do it, but you have won. I have tried my personal best to always deliver a unique Margaret River experience that is grounded in integrity in all the we do. From the sourcing of the freshest local ingredients, to... More

We went there after hearing recommendations from a few different people about this restaurant - for the prices we were disappointed. I know that restaurants in general in Oz are expensive but for the money we paid here the food was below our expectations. Since food is such a personal thing I am not trying to say that the food...

The setting, ambience and staff at this restaurant were great. The food was also good, but we only had appetizers as, regrettably, we did not like the wine. The wine selection at "Winos" is limited and with only a few Margaret River wines available by the glass. These tasted like they had been open too long. We expected an enjoyable... More

Hi there Honestly, this would have to be the most disappointing comment I have ever read about Wino's. As a winemaker and wine enthusiast, the reason I opened Wino’s 13 years ago, enjoying the wine is at the heart of what we do. The food, service etc, is all there to facilitate enjoyment of wine. Hell, that’s why I called... More

We wandered down to Wino's after it had been suggested by quite a few locals that we had spoken to. It was a Wednesday night and fairly quiet but the service was very friendly and prompt. The share plates were reasonably priced and we had three of the smaller dishes and followed this with the half duck. The crab pate,... More

Hey there. Cheers for the kind words. We are happy that you enjoyed our style of venue. From the bar to the full dining experience, our main goal is to have our guests enjoy them selves like you did. You obvious got into the whole shared cuisine thing and it's always worth asking what sneaky wine we might have open... More

What a find! Owner J is a fount of knowledge of wines and the region. Exceptional food, presented in options of tapas, entrees, mains or sweet stuff, with advice on wines to match. Great for a quick sample or an evening of touring the region from your seat!

Hi Guys. We're so glad you enjoyed your time with us. Having been open for nearly 13 years, we do have a lot of experience in the area, and as you guessed, we don't mind having a chat about it. We enjoy the food style as well. All of the dishes are designed to share, from the Tapas styled you... More

This was our second visit to Wino's and I was hoping so much that it would be as good as the first time, thankfully it didn't disappoint. We didn't have a booking but this wasn't an issue even on Easter weekend, that doesn't mean it wasn't empty either, we were lucky as we went in early before the dinner rush... More

Hi Guys Yes Easter is a very busy weekend for us. So we are able to provide the level of service we are happy with, we do seat to the number of staff we have and not simply fill the space choc-o-block like some places do. This is so that we can make sure we have the level of service... More

We were staying down the street from this restaraunt for a few days and thought that it looked the goods for a night out of fine wine and dining. Oh so wrong!
