   My partner Darren and I came last night and ate bread, two pastas and a side salad! It was incredible! The food was outstanding in flavour and we even got to try a sneaky tiramisu dessert! The service was incredible. We were greeted outside and taken to our table where we were showed their menu! We will be back! This may be our new favourite spot!

   The food was delicious, and the atmosphere was cozy and inviting. You definitely have to try their three-course pasta night, it’s a must!!!

   The atmosphere at this restaurant is absolutely stunning, with breathtaking views overlooking the paddocks at Mount View. The setting strikes a perfect balance between elegance and casual charm, making it a welcoming and comfortable space. Chefs and owners Gabriel and James work their magic both in the kitchen and on the floor, creating a truly memorable dining experience. Whether you're planning a romantic dinner for two or a gathering with friends, this is a place I highly recommend. I'll definitely be back soon!

   The pasta was amazing, the best we have had in a long time. However, the tiramisu was horrible. Half frozen, watery and grainy slop on a plate. The bread for entree was lovely once we finally received the dipping oil at the same time as our main after having to get somebody’s attention. We felt so neglected at our table. We understood the girl was very new but no other staff assisted in ensuring our experience was improved even after she accidentally spilled my grandfathers Shiraz on him, into his water and onto the table. We were not asked how our meal was after a course, we were not offered more drinks when we ran out, we had to ask for plates, spoons, serving spoon and napkins with our dessert. While the staff interacted with other tables and guests whom they clearly knew, we were ignored. It was a shame because neither the service or dessert match the quality of the main course. Asside from this, we did love the dishes and cutlery set but felt the setting was very incomplete without a table cloth or even a placemat at least. Very bare. We did greatly appreciate the manager (assuming) taking $20 off of our bill. Thank you.

   A delightful lunch, chef’s selection. Service outstanding and I liked how the chef explained the contents of each dish and our our waiter selected perfect wine pairings. Thank you both. Lunch with a Peruvian twist was memorable. I will recommend this dinning experience to others. Thank you.

   The food was amazing in both taste and diverse ingredients. If only I’d had more of an appetite to sample more of the menu. Service too was impeccable.

    The Thursday night pasta special is great value with crusty fresh baked breads, choice of pasta, and a light finish of shared Tiramisu. Great for a casual dinner with friends and family. The atmosphere was OK, but the night we attended it was cool and the standard seating is on a terrace with cafe blinds that allowed the cool to enter, the patio heater helped though. The staff were friendly and attentive, with chef coming to speak to our table when the mains were served which was a nice personal touch. Given this restaurant is in a winery in the heart of the Hunter Valley, our group was disappointed in markup of the wines compared to the cellar door prices, though perhaps this was unavoidable from the restaurant's perspective due to not being operated by the winery. This made the final cost of the economical 'specials' night more expensive than expected which we would consider before revisiting.
