Good menu, food expensive, service pathetic.
Waited 90 minutes for two meals.

We called in for a mid-week meal and a glass of wine. They have a good selection on the menu and a varied wine list.

My tortellini (the special on the day) was well cooked however the sauce was rather strong and over powered the dish. The pork belly was good.

The service was great.

Just a bit expensive for what you get.

A few of my friends decided to go to The Abbey after work and I chose to order the Prawn and Snapper tortellini as an entree and the Pork belly for my main. The food was amazing! The flavoursome food and the exciting range of wines ensured my night was pleasurable. The staff were very attentive and the atmosphere was perfect. I thoroughly enjoyed my night and would recommend The Abbey to anyone looking for a casual drink after work or for fine dining with friends.

Had a such an awesome night at The Abbey, as we started out with some drinks; with a great selection of wine and beer, we then moved into the Restaurant for a meal, it was amazing! The food was fantastic, as we had breads, entrees, mains and desserts which were all perfection. We had excellent service from the start to the end, a great atmosphere and I highly recommend it!

I always enjoy a night out at the Abbey. We had a farewell dinner on Saturday night. It was busy with three large tables in also. The Service was efficient, bubbly and attentive.

I ordered the Duck which is one of my all time fav’s followed by the Ginger Cake Pudding. It was some of our fellow diners first time at The Abbey and they will all be coming back.

So disappointed!

Ordered the Mango Chicken Salad from the Lunch Menu.

I received – half a cup of lettuce, two pieces of charred chicken and a few slithers of Avocado and Mango. – Not really worth the $22 we Paid. – not to mention the time we had to wait for this “meal”.
Staff were rude, and uninterested.

Not worth it – Don’t waste your time.

Thank you to The Abbey. The staff were amazing, nothing was to much bother! The food was mouth watering especially the corn-fed chicken. The wine wall was out of this world with the staff having an excellent knowledge of the wines available. Finally the deck out the back was beautiful, I look forward to using it again throughout summer

I had the most amazing night at the Abbey. The food was beautiful, the chef even catered for my special needs. The staff were attentive and the atmosphere warm and welcoming. I have to mention the extensive wine wall.

A friend and I just dined at The Abbey. It was possibly the worst service I have ever received! We ordered some tapas and a glass of wine each….when the 1st tapas came out, we had to wait for the last dish to come out before we got plates….then! Incredulously the whole staff sat at a table and all ate in front of us and I actually had to yell to get service…we promptly left as we just couldn’t believe the rudeness of the staff, granted we were the last on the dining side but that doesn’t make us less important than anyone else! My husband and I have been a few times and I refuse to ever go again!

We recently returned to The Abbey having not been for sometime. We have to say we were once again most impressed ! Our table of six came away all having had a great evening !! The food was very well presented,well proportioned and most of all very delicious:combine this with an extensive wine list;prompt and friendly service and a great ambience…..& voila…..the makings of a most enjoyable dining experience !! We certainly look forward to returning in the not too distant future !!

Possibly the worst meal/experience all year.
Expensive for small servings.

We shared a pork belly entree, it had a chocolate and orange souffle and sesame sauce. The souffle was flabby and sunk and way too sweet, I dont remember a sesame sauce, and the very small bit of pork belly was completely overcooked dry and tough. and it was $22 !

Mains I had pork loin with a carrot & hazlenut souffle, and he had beef steak with gorgonzola and a horseradish ‘mousseline’ what ever thats sposed to be.
My pork again was so overcooked it was awful, and small – maybe 8x5cm!! the souffle was raw batter in the middle and looked like a scone. I only ate the spinach quinelle and left the rest on the plate it was that awful.
The steak was OK but the horseradish thing ended up being something like a yorkshire pud, only dense and flabby and tasted like flour not horseradish.

I can’t figure out what the Abbey is trying to achieve – is it a public bar, a pokie den or an upmarket restaurant?

It’s local and I’ve eaten here three times now and the food is good but the atmosphere does my head in.

Notice to management: People trying to eat nice meals and paying top price for them shouldn’t have to sit two feet away from pokie machines and the desperados playing them.

When you’re eating you have to contend with the noise and atmosphere of a bar,while the drinkers are packed like sardines into one corner while the pokie junkies come and go.

Do one thing well, not three things badly.

Has a very nice lunch at The Abbey. The fish special was unusual – the fish was wrapped in a thin specialty ham, it looked a tad strange but tasted good. Decor is great – a good spot for business lunches in this part of the city.

My local suburb restaurant, excellent food but quite pricey ($30+) – comparable to city restaurants. Food here is always tasty & thoughtful and the menu is seasonal. They also do an excellent Wild Food Challenge (winner of 2009). Waitress is attentive. They have a great wine selection and the decor is focused on wine also.
Good place for special occasions.

Good food, great staff. Love the atmosphere. The dessert menu is a chocholics heaven

Wow! The food here is delicious we enjoyed every mouthful, we will definitely be returning very soon. Seriously the best lunch I’ve had in ages!!

Last night we had the best meal out we have had in years. Fantastic food, the aromas were heady and tasted as good as they looked. The staff were fabulous, I would go back any time. The best meal with the nicest, efficient staff. Lovely wine list, very talented kitchen! xxo

Just went and had dinner here a couple of nights ago, the food was amazing!

Exciting and careful presentation

Exploding with flavor

Portions are not for the starving

We had the scallop and salmon ravioli and the beef with blue cheese. delicious!

the rack of lamb was standard
and the polenta was fine.

They have a huge range of wines here.
Service is good.
