Myself and three friends dined at The Abbey and had a most pleasurable experience ! An enticing menu cooked and presented really well, great wine list,the staff were very friendly and attentive,a great ambience prevailed and overall an enjoyable time was had by all ! We shall certainly look forward to returning again very soon !!

A great food selection, and the pork belly was cooked to perfection! The wine list is very extensive, and the staff were very friendly and attentive, and the setting was smart and clean.

Have been here a few times now, and in winter, its lovely sitting by the fire.

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.
