Nice open feel to it and you can stumble right onto the main drag which is usually bustling during summer and holidays. There was live music even on a Wednesday night which was a nice surprise but choose your seating wisely. We sat close to the bar but the musician was near there and they're speaker was just too loud making conversations more like you were in a dance club. We moved to quieter spot after we ate our meals. Food was well presented and tasty but definitely a bit pricey for pub food. I'd go back though.

By definition, a larder means a room or a large cupboard that's used for storing food. And woah,…read moredoes this shop live up to its name. The Larder is a beautifully arranged store full of gorgeously packaged products that will have you wondering whether you're buying something just for its pretty jar or for the actual product itself. It does make for handy gift shopping though (whose mum doesn't love a block of French chocolate or Blue Mountains handcrafted coffee?). They stock a really great range of Australian and international cheeses, Hunter Valley olive oil by the litre, and top brands like Christine Manfield, Byron Bay Chilli Co and Toby's Estate. If you're on your way to a dinner party or BBQ and need to take along a token offering, grab a loaf of Brasserie sourdough or a cheese platter. The specialty grocer store opened after the owners returned from France and realised how difficult it is to find all the quality local and imported products you wanr in the one place. The staff are helpful and knowledgeable and clearly love what they're doing. There's plenty of parking available, just look for the green and white striped storefront.

Good stuff for gifts to foodie people, or when you need to lay out bits and bites that need to impress. You can also buy quality olive oil in bulk - in their or your own containers - that is much closer to cheap bottled brands. Nice!

There wasn't much of a crowd at lunch but staff were setting out all the reserved tables for the night and it looked like basically every table had been reserved! Pretty comprehensive drinks list and although the food is fairly simple it comes out fast, is fresh, and reasonably priced if you're sharing between a few people. I'd never tried a cheeseburger spring roll but they're basically all the ingredients of a cheeseburger in a deep fried roll - yum! Between this place and Empty Lane up the road the hills are starting to get some decent places to have a drink at.

Sevardi Italian restaurant has evolved into a wine and tapas bar. The wine menu is interesting and…read morealso includes Australian spirits and ciders. However the tapas menu is very disappointing. The menu shows very little imagination and the execution of the tapas did not live up to the hype on their Facebook/Web pages. We started with eggplant tapenade and pâté, both straight out of the fridge which was a mismatch to the warm toasted bread. Eggplant was bitter, however the gherkins helped lift the pâté. Salt and pepper calamari was the worst I've ever had -- enormous rings with no salt or pepper. The one highlight was the garlic prawns which were well seasoned and tasty. The last dish we tried were the beef skewers - unseasoned mince on skewers with the same salad we'd seen twice before -- mixed leaves with a balsamic glaze. Unless someone gives the food some taste and oomph this great opportunity for a longed-for wine bar in Beecroft will slip away.

Finally visited after learning they also served food, and the food was very good, interesting without being too clever, very tasty and priced fairly.

Very friendly host and team. Great addition to eating options in the area.
