Reviews

Angela Wannet – December 2021

The most incredible experience!

Our waitress was wonderful, friendly, accommodating and OMG THE FOOD!

The most incredible quality, ingredients in such gorgeous combinations!

I was so blown away

Had the best time trying and tasting different bits of dishes with my partner

I have specialty dietary requirements and they were met without making me feel difficult.

I accidentally finished 2 whole dishes, and almost licked the plate.

Our new favourite in Airlie for sure!

Very friendly service and OMG meals are unbelievable

Katy Woolatt – September 2021

As a local it’s always good to find a new place to eat and this is a hidden gem. I’ve only eaten at the restaurant (not stayed the night) but after having it recommended to me I have to say the food is excellent. The scallops and the vegetarian gnocchi were delicious, and I’m looking forward to trying your new menu!
