As a part of the wine tour we stopped here for lunch where our guide Jilly talked us through the choices of wine with dishes consumed. Very helpful if you like wine and you want to enhance your meal with the correct wine choice. Food was excellent.

Great staff, and pretty good food. Would agree that it's quite expensive as you really need to order sides. You could,for example enjoy the pork belly with only the caramelised apple, but it is nice to have a few potatoes and greens! Very tasty, though, and service was well timed. The sticky date was excellent and the chocolate gelato (house... More

Lunch on Sunday with family - adults and kids. Views are of backyard (kitchen garden) and street. Decor is plain. Meals were good size, flavour and presented well. We had (many) pork belly mains, terrine/pate starters, seafood linguine, fish, soup of the day, chicken and desserts (sticky date pudding, dessert sharing plate, gelato). Absolutely no complaints about quality of food!... More

It was an amazing experience and the food was great. If anyone on Trip Advisor decides to choose this lovely, homely and welcoming cafe up in... More

My girlfriend Nicole and I had the privilege of having lunch at the Wild Oak Cafe last weekend. It was not my first time. We were delighted with the whole experience...Ben and his team have really mastered the art of fine cuisine. My risotto with tiger prawns was just divine, cooked in squid ink, and we shared the most perfectly... More

We actually thought this place would be amazing going by the reviews. Love that the kitchen is open in the restaurant and the service was perfect. Only two gripes, we were crammed in like sardines, my chair backed onto someone elses chair.....and the duck (which is usually my favourite) sat on a pile of carrot mush that resembled baby food.

With all the hype about this restaurant, especially the good reviews, we decided to try. We had garlic bread and an order of olives for starters. The garlic bread was alright, olives portion was generous and came warm, which was a nice surprise. I ordered a Morrocan style stuffed chicken, and my daughter ordered fettuccine with chargrilled veges. Although we... More
