I had lunch with a friend on 15th December. The restaurant was busy but we had a relaxing lunch and wonderful food. A staff member - Rachel - looked after our table and she was very helpful and guided us through the menu and gave very helpful advice on the size of portions and side dishes etc

Receiving 3 requests for a confirmation of my booking in the 36 hours preceding the booking time was annoying to say the least and reflected poorly on teh competence of the restaurants automated bookibg system, particularly as I conformed the booking on the first request. Perhaps Pialligo should look for another online booking provider.

The heat was ridiculous and it was so noisy. The service was average and they were keen to get us out of the place once we finished our lunch. We were moved half way through our meal into a side pavilion to be in a cooler space. You would think they would have a better roof system other than clear and as for portable hired coolers for an establish like that is an subbasement.

The food was very good the beef cooked well and melted in your mouth. However our table was near the kitchen and it was very very warm last Sunday which made the eating experience extremely uncomfortable. The air blower made very little difference,I therefore would not recommend this restaurant to people during summer, it may have been better in the areas which are open to the outside rather than the poky corridor next to the kitchen. The copper screens with the lights hanging above reflected the heat back to the table. The noise level made it very difficult to talk, at at some stages the background music was too loud! The toilets were beautifully cool, pity about the main dinning area.

The venue is wonderful, nice vibe and great view. We found the staff to be knowledgeable, friendly and attentive. The food was great (with a focus on locally sourced/grown items as an added bonus). I definitely recommend getting a charcuterie board to sample a few of the estate's own produce made right there on the premises. For the quality of the food and the standard of service, the prices are very reasonable. The pavilion is a little hidden gem in the Canberra restaurant scene, and we will definitely be back!

It was a very hot afternoon. The main pavilion needs to be fully air conditioned. Lunch was pleasant and well presented. Staff were obliging and knowledgeable. We requested a wine tasting before lunch so as we could choose our lunch wine with knowledge. No tasting was available. Most unusual for a winery.

Although I appreciate that it was busy that particular day we arrived early for that reason. Waitress was helpful and polite but it took nearly one hour just to get one serving of bread when others around us who arrived later were being served before us. Main courses were late but ok but lacked flair or imagination especially when prices are at the higher end of the market. We were never offered a desert menu and had to call a waitress over for coffee . It was my 50th birthday and was probaby hoping for something more memorable.
