The place was busy with high spirits and we were still seated right away. Food came pretty quick which was nice because we had wine tasting appointments to be mindful of. Egg and Bacon Roll 2 fried eggs, plus bacon on a pita roll, with homemade sweet and tangy tomato chutney. Great combo sandwich - larger than expected. "Enzo" Big Breakfast 2 eggs (seemed like at least 4 actually) your way, bacon (more like rustic farmhouse style American ham), whole mushrooms and roasted whole tomatoes on two thick slices of toast. This is like a big boy chunky style brekky - you have to cut everything but it is hearty and delicious. Make sure you're hungry! Cappucino - frothy, large and smooth! Love this place, there's really nothing to be picky about here. Expectations exceeded, service prompt, helpful and nice, yet efficient. That's all...

Then we shared Roast pork loin, pickled red canbage, apple chutney and crackling. The crackling is yummy, but the pork loin is amazing. The meat is tender, juicy and flavorful!

Really friendly staff and the booking was simple and efficient. Would love to visit again!

After touring some of the wineries in the area, I wanted to sit outside, enjoy the beautiful scenery and have some terrific food and wine. The Verandah, located at the Calais Estate, was the perfect solution with their wrap around upstairs porch overlooking the rolling estate. There were two choices for lunch- a pre selected "Tapas Tower" which is a feast for two with several daily selections ($80) or a la carte tapas items listed a few pages back in the menu. I went with the latter and had a chance to taste a wide range of their offerings and all were amazingly good. My favs were the polenta coated soft shell crab, the mushroom aranachi, and the jambon. They also had a nice wine list and were able to find me a local Cabernet that was quite nice! The service staff was super helpful, even re directing the fan my way given it was a very hot day on the veranda. But my visit was really topped off by the welcoming nature of Sharon, the manager. She kept stopping at my table to ensure all was well and even related a story about her recent trip to Chicago where someone went out of their way to help her and her husband. It made for a great visit. So I'll end where I began. If you want a great location, outstanding food and a staff that cares, look no further than The Verandah. It really will make your entire experience in the Hunter Valley one to remember!

From the noodles in sake cream to the 70 hour slow cooked steak, it is all good. You will be sharing and enjoying each dish. If you get the taster, they will also give you wine for each meal. The service here is also nothing less than amazing. But you wouldn't expect any different. If you haven't got from this review, I love this place!

One of the best meals I've had in Australia…read more We had no idea what this place was like, we were just up at the north end of the Hunter Valley and saw it listed no our wine tourist map as a place to eat and phoned ahead for a reservation (it was a Sunday at 2:30pm and places were closing). We got in and I'm so glad we did. It's Italian villa style. The dining rooms have arches and iron chairs and Mediterranean accents. The outdoor patio is relaxed, covered and sunny. When we arrived people were playing bocce on the back lawn. My wife and I shared one of their large pot roasts, lamb in our case. It was absolutely delicious. We love food served like this, meat and veg and seasonings all slow-cooked together. It was very European and a perfect excuse for a long, slow lunch on a hot, sunny afternoon. The wine list had an extensive selection of Italian wines. For those worried about air miles they also have a selection of wines - by the glass and bottle - from a winery just down the road. The atmosphere was continental and perfect, with happy families, leisurely lunchers, and lots of wine. The service was exemplary, and all delivered with a smile. If you believe a great meal requires a great experience as well as great food, The Beltree is a spot worth seeking out.

From the hand sliced chips to the honey and roe to the chicken fat butter. I don't know how to express the deliciousness of this menu and the skills in this kitchen. Service was outstanding. We were obviously overhead stating we needed to come back the next day when the cellar door was open to get a bottle of wine, and they came to us with it offering it at cellar door prices! That is service, that is class. Deliciousness!!!
