Dinner for four, a 'going away' party with special wine.
All MAINS well executed, particularly the red meat choices.
Grilled to perfection was my 400g rib eye, and accompanied by a tasty mixed greens dressed salad, chips not wanted but no substitutions.
Starter platter was okay, a tippy platter, some cheeses and 'bits' could have used some 'imagination', maybe crudite and dips would have been nice.....
For me....the wine list was local and VERY good, albeit no 'aged' wines.
Solution:
We got permission to BUY their YOUNG wine and sub in OUR AGED to perfection version from the same vintner, Peter Robertson, and his BROOKFIELDs HILLSIDE syrah = marvelous.
(2016 bought from 'Off the Track' removed and cellared,
the 2013 we brought from our cellar to consume in the restaurant.)
Lovely stemware, my suggestion to decant fell on deaf ears sadly.
Staff is pleasant in the family themed restaurant.
Kiddies playing:
Young ones leaving doors open to the outside play area constantly had us up and out of our seats to close doors on the cool evening last week = mildly amusing.
Tasty food.
Quality good.
