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.

Came here for lunch and absolutely loved it. We all had delicious meals that were good priced and came out in good time. The waitress was lovely and prompt as-well. Would definitely go back!

The service is good and the good was fine bur very expensive. I had the French onion soup $17.00. It came with a piece of toast and a shot of white wine (only shot size) but I would have preferred it without the shot for...a cheaper price.More

One of my favourite places to go, take visiting family or catching up with friends. I enjoy seeing the weekly specials, they are alway very tasty! But this place is very busy and you have to book. Don’t get upset with staff if they can’t...get you in… it’s very popular. Once you visit you will understand why.More

We had a booking for 30 family and close friends for our daughters 21st Birthday and I can't find anything negative about the experience. All staff very attentive and efficient and friendly. A shout out to Deb, Carolyn and Amanda your boss is lucky to...have you! Thanks so much for your attention to our gathering. We took a Cake and they delivered it to the table and plated it beautifully for all the guests afterwards. The Food was Delicious and fresh and everyone said how nice it was and that they would be back. We had a 1300 booking and they were prompt with the food and didn't rush us out the door afterwards which was so lovely. Thanks again for making such lovely memories for our family. So lovely to such a top notch spot here on the coast.More

TWO THUMBS DOWN for the food and service! Don't be fooled by the menu or website marketing as this was very disappointing. After booking online and looking forward to a nice lunch, we got there on time only to be told that our reserved table...was still occupied and we would have to take another table 10 minutes later. Odd because on the one hand, each table has a small reminder sign telling patrons to observe their time and on the other hand staff told us we can take as long as we wanted. When the food came out, it looked like something you would get at a run-down truck-stop (small and expired). The eggs were runny, the bacon and meat was rock hard, the chicken tasted microwaved, the onion rings was 95% batter cooked in old oil, and their featured pickled onions were non-existent (unless you count 1 small one and some shavings hidden in a few leaves of baby spinach). When this awful experience was explained to the manager (kindly), we were told that the tiny amount of pickled onion was standard and that the best they could do was take off the price of the drinks but we had to pay the rest of the large bill for over-rated, over-priced, cost-cutting, amateur meals - prepared and cooked as if someone had a rough night! If you want 10/10 instead of this 2/10 rot, go to Mrs. Jones instead! By the way, the table we originally booked was still occupied when we left!More

This was our first time and it didn't disappoint. The Roasted vegetable salad was nothing short of divine. A chef who can cook a delicious vegetarian meal is worth their weight in gold, and any travelling vego knows exactly what I mean. Friends had the...Just Landed Tasmanian fish and chips. Opinion: delicately light and not heavy and absolutely delicious. The smoked chicken and avocado toastie was a treat. The smokiness and tenderness of the chicken went down exceptionally well. Windows on Westella's Broad Acres sauvignon blanc highly recommended. The venue has a small providore stocking pickled onions, olives, dark chocolate treats, shortbread, wine and much, much more. The restaurant is bright and airy, but a tad noisy, but only because of the openness of such a large room. The venue and its surrounding gardens are fresh and lovely, and a few tables out on the lush green lawns during the warmer months would be a fabulous place to laze away the afternoon with a platter and a bottle of wine. The staff were exceptional and answered my queries. Friendly and professional and an asset to the place. The prices might not be for the budget conscious, but they're not out of reach either. If you want a quality meal then expect to pay for it. There's something for everyone. I would highly recommend Windows on Westella.More
