    We enjoyed our dinner there today. We had duck liver pate as entree, Thursday steak special with comes with red wine & chips, and passionfruit crème brûlée. Also because it was our wedding anniversary they gave us free madeleines. The food & service were all good, and steak was cooked on point. I would love to go back again.

    Great food, amazing wine list, beautiful breeze through big open windows on a lovely summer evening with friends. This place is a big draw card in The Basin! Staff were super friendly and helpful. They adapted a couple of dishes for us which was fab. Would definitely recommend to others as a good place for a meal to celebrate , or just because!

    At the base of the Sherbrooke Forest just out of Belgrave is this little distillery is a gem. With private nooks, outdoor seating & tasting area, it has something for everyone. The cocktails are as fancy as the food and staff are lovely and attentive. As a local, I love to take my interstate & overseas guests here to showcase what great places we have here in the hills.
