Food was fantastic and the service exceptional - I did however baulk at the wine prices. For a special occasion or romantic dinner it would certainly be perfect. As previously mentioned the wine prices were a bit steep for my liking but overall a lovely place.

We had my wife's birthday dinner at River Cottage and the food was fantastic. We sat in the open doorway on a balmy Noosa night and enjoyed a first class 3 courses. Our young son was also well catered for and the staff were very attentive. The chef has a particular style and the flavours were striking and well balanced.... More

This is an absolutely outstanding experience. To accompany everything we had the wonderful 2009 Soul Growers' Equilibrium (Shiraz, Grenache, Mourvedre). We started with the heirloom tomato salad with mozzarella, feta, tomato mousse, soufflé, and balsamic reduction. Subtle tastes and beautiful presentation. Think of a deconstructed caprese salad. We moved onto the wild mushroom risotto - which we tend to get... More

Do not take the Early menu you will leave hungry! Waited a long time to be served in an empty restaurant and when food arrived there was almost nothing on the plate. Sirloin minute and full of fat and sinews not able to eat it. A meal to spoil a visit to Noosa and very expensive for what you got... More

Three of us had dinner here on Saturday night and the service and food were excellent. It was a balmy night and we sat outside and thankfully there were no mosquitoes. I don't think there is air conditioning inside but there are ceiling fans. The portions are not especially large but we found they were satisfactory for the three of... More

Have the Early Dinner, order by 6.30 pm and you can even byo from Mon to Fri! Food was fab, lovely space, great service, not cheap but early dinner at 49 dollars was a bargain compared to other restaurants in the area, highly recommended!

The food was average but the prices were over the top. If you don't order sides with your mains there's very little on your plate, don't order the goose fat potatoes they were undercooked and not crispy, a few bits of overlooked chorizo mixed in, not spicy very mild made the whole thing pointless. Deserts were overpriced and lacked imagination,... More

Our golf group had our last night meal at this wonderful restaurant. What a great experience with both service and food. We all had varying entrees and main courses and all agreed the meals were first class. Those who could fit it in had the raspberry soufflé said it was the best they had ever had. The restaurant was BYO... More

We visited on a Monday evening and were able to bring our BYO wine. Very pleasant staff and excellent service. The food was fantastic and perfectly presented. The BYO option helped to keep the price of our visit down and we felt the overall experience was extremely good value. I would thoroughly recommend a visit if you are in the... More

A stylish interior, pleasant music, and friendly staff. The food is superbly executed, very tasty, well balanced, not too fancy but so well done. No BYO on week end. I would recommand the 50$ menu, and do BYO on a week evening for the best experience. A must go in Noosa.
