   Pizza was fantastic as usual, but our Chicken Parma's seemed a little off in taste and texture, plus the chips were soaked in fat and overcooked - really bad and we left most of it. Plates and cutlery skidded all over the place on the table (outdoors) and the tables wobbled a lot, so wasn't a great dining experience overall.

   Walking in a lovely venue but I feel it has become too big too soon. Food was pleasant but could have been better presented for the price. My husband and I had the bruschetta, could have added basil for flavour, for starters followed by duck this could have looked better presented, then tiramisu and lemon tart which I would say was not made on site. I ordered a cafe lait and enquired as to when it was coming with a reply did I really want it. I didn't want to put them to any trouble.

   Great food and very good service. I would like to see a bigger range of desserts offered. The Flamenco night wasn’t as good as their other entertaining evenings. However others may have enjoyed it. We have been to the Homestead several times and it is a lovely venue with excellent staff and food. Definitely recommend a visit.

   A hidden gem in Rowville. We booked the Senes Flamenco show AND IT WAS FREE!!! For the normal cost of a meal the Homestead puts on great shows to enjoy while you eat. They utilise the function room for this treat so you need specifically book the event - easy to do on the website. Other indoor or outdoor options are available. Food and drinks were amazing. Recommendations for the Black Pie (pizza), Lime, Sods and bitters drink and the mashed potato is divine.

   The music coming from another room was extremely loud. We could barely hear each other speak! It was suppose to be afternoon tea, but a nightclub. On our high tea tower what was referred to as sandwiches was filling on baguette/bread stick. A little harder to eat. Probably the worst scone I’ve ever eaten and was served with fake cream, which just melted in to some watery mess as soon as it hit the “scone”. Tea in a pot was included in the price but not a black coffee. I have never been to a high tea where you couldn’t substitute a coffee for the tea. All in all a pretty average experience.

   No traditional sandwiches. The scones were horrible. Small and one didn't seemed cooked. Felt they weren't fresh and heated in the microwave. They were small and horrible and only having two was unacceptable. The value was pathetic, the music was loud from the other room, the service was poor. Really disappointing. The tea wasn't hot either.

   From the moment you sit down you were greeted with a friendly waitress and can’t say enough about Chantal who quickly took our orders and any other requests too. She made everyone feel like she was part of our family with good humour too. My only criticism was of the noise factor as we were seated near two large groups but the round table helped and turning the noise down was better too. The food we all had which was ten of us was outstanding and the wonderful old building was special to dine in. Will return for another occasion soon!

   Xmas catchup with 11 friends in total. Very noisy. Service was extremely slow. Quality of food very average. Beers were lukewarm. Chicken parma- chicken was tough, chips & chicken also lukewarm. Pasta with seafood and Bouillabaisse was without substance. Re latter a lot of liquid, negligible seafood and a slice of bread. Worth $40- not at all. Ordered a negroni in place of dessert and did not arrive, yet was charged for. Positive, pizza ordered by one of my guests was amazing. All in all, below average night. I'm sorry to say that we won't be rushing back.
