Tripadvisor’s approach to reviews
Before posting, each Tripadvisor review goes through an automated tracking system, which collects information, answering the following questions: how, what, where and when. If the system detects something that potentially contradicts our community guidelines, the review is not published.
When the system detects a problem, a review may be automatically rejected, sent to the reviewer for validation, or manually reviewed by our team of content specialists, who work 24/7 to maintain the quality of the reviews on our site.
Our team checks each review posted on the site disputed by our community as not meeting our community guidelines.

Food and presentation was outstanding; sorry to say the service needs work. Only a handfull of diners so no pressure on wait staff. Waiting 10 mins to recieve our first drinks, trouble catching the waitress's attention to order wine and receiving wine to our table...after the entrees finished, passing items across in front of other guests. Very nicely presented and friendly staff however suggest more training required as it is a superb venue.More

If only I had read the TripAdvisor "Pretentious & Overpriced "review before going, that review is spot on... I had the same raw and NOT wagyu lunch meal, but I sent my back as it is obvious the chief has no clue what wagyu is...or how to cook it and was changed $80 for absolutely zero food... For the chiefs education here is the Australian Wagyu grades what was served up as wagyu does not make the chart.More

We attended the restaurant on Father's Day. It was a combined celebration, Father's Day and our upcoming 4th Wedding Anniversary. The staff were friendly, very attentive and prompt in delivery and clearing of plates. We had a four course set menu. The food was beautifully...presented, tasted exceptional and obviously cooked by very skilled hands. Attention to detail was obvious in the presentation. The combinations of flavour was excellent and you certainly had an explosion of flavours to savour and enjoy. It is an intimate venue, peaceful and not cramped with too many people so that you can have a conversation with each other. The grounds are kept beautifully and it was lovely to sit outside, enjoy the view and the peace prior to entering the restaurant to be seated for our Lunch. We definitely will be attending this venue again as there are not too many fine dining venues around to savour and enjoy the finer foods in life. In our experience we have nothing but praise to the Chef and staff. Thanks for a wonderful dining experience.More

The service and food were lovely. The long Apron has romantic ambiance with elegant touches. It is on the more expensive side but great if you want to enjoy 3-5 courses. The staff go that little bit extra to ensure you have a nice experience....Very attentive.More

Disappointing. Gorgeous venue. However I can only best describe it as pretentious and overpriced. When your food is microscopic and the price is high, the quality HAS to back it up. Not question if it was really Sarah Lee cheesecake and Weis’ ice cream because...it was so weirdly the same. And 2 small spoons of cheesecake substance, 4 x 1 cm cubes of crunchy rhubarb spaced on a large flat plate, does not a cheesecake make. But the fish was the size of 3 stacked fish fingers and gelatinous and undercooked. The wagu was raw and lukewarm.. when I asked for it to be cooked further, I lost my kipfler potatoes in the re-plating. The bill with no alcohol was nearly $400 for lunch for 3 people for mains and desserts- we had been overcharged by $80 when we viewed the bill. And when should sparkling water be splashed from a carafe ..? $16 for the pleasure.. I dunno.. it was just … disappointingMore

Upon booking the dinner, bed and breakfast package I was sent an email confirmation with an extra note saying they had the birthday on record from when we visited some years ago, and looked forward to our visit. The food here is excellent, first class,...exciting, and tasteful, as is the service. We selected the souffle, lamb rump/market fish (barramundi) and the almond dacquoise/creme brulee for our 3 options. Each course was absolutely delightful, both in presentation and flavor combinations. The breakfast next morning was equally delightful - the coffee, fruit and granola to begin with followed by the omelette and more coffee made for a lazy relaxing morning on the Terrace. All the staff knew that it was a birthday we were celebrating, and the little extra surprises that kept popping up put the icing on the cake. This is a top class place to visit - well worth the drive and great value for money for any special occasion.More

Celebrated my wife's birthday. Staff made us feel special. Excellent service. We chose the three course menu @ $95 per person. Meals aren't large, but the cost goes into the preparation and the amazing flavors - refined and sophisticated. Beautifully presented. With a plate of...twice cooked (in duck fat) potatoes, the three courses were just right. Superb evening. We intend returning and now know of a great present for our adult children and their partners for special occasions.More

Loved it. 😍 I believe we did the 5 course degustation on New Years Eve. It was a dining experience to remember, and I don't say that often. My taste buds loved it.

From our arrival, we were met with warmth from the excellent wait staff and a cozy atmosphere, which immediately set the tone for the evening of relaxation. The service was without flaw. The food was delicate, fresh and beautifully constructed. The atmosphere was beautiful, warm...and we greatly enjoyed the jazz music in the background. We highly recommend this restaurant.More
