    There was a wedding on and even though we had booked a table, we were offered a seat at the bar or outside by the dam. We took an outside seat and ordered a shared antipasto platter and a salad. After waiting over an hour, in which time our outside table went from shaded to full sunlight, we gave up and requested our money back and left. A real shame. Because I have eaten here before and it was great, but they need to be aware of their commitments and ensure they can service all their customers.

    Fantastic location with great outlook and excellent food but service was poor - slow to bring menus once we had been seated, slow to take orders, didn't ask if anyone wanted another drink, food arrived in reasonable time but we sat looking at an uncleared table next to us for the duration of our meal. We ate the greek platter which was excellent and a good amount for two; the pizzas looked and smelled amazing.

    Loved the ambience, view, service and wines on offer. While the quality of the Greek platter for two was excellent, the quantity for the high price was disappointing.

    We had a wonderful lunch, amazing location and views . Beautifully kept/ maintained grounds. A party of 5, our overseas guests were 'blown away' by the experience. Only one slight observation was that we felt they were a little short staffed on the day - although they were very polite and informative they seemed pushed and there was a bit of a wait for our food - but it was certainly worth it. Would definitely recommend and now on our list of local spots to spend some quality time at.

    We had lunch on the balcony and it was such a lovely experience. The chicken antipasto platter was absolutely delicious, the views amazing but the wine had to have been the best. We went to a couple of winterise afterwards and we kept saying the wine at nillumbik estate was our favourite.
