Fantastic meal with great value. I was impressed with the price and good portion size especially it is in central city with such amazing interior setting. I particularly like the venison salad!
Our waitress with black hair was very nice however the other blonde girl wasn’t so efficient, she seemed did not realize the restaurant was busy… Overall it is a great place to go in city for any occasions.

I had a beautiful dining experience here for a business lunch, where we had booked out the private dining room.

The meal was beautifully prepared and presented, and the surroundings warm and elegant.

I loved the high arched window in this private dining room, which allowed the light to flood the room, and made an excellent space to bring a business colleague for a 2 hour meal & meeting.

The wine was lovely, of course.

What a spendid evening and a great experience!!!!We were recently welcomed back to the Wine Chambers by a gentleman with a very posh English accent, he proceeded to recommend wines and guide us through all the tastes and flavors the menu had to offer, we very impressed by the food, wine knowledge and 5 star service that was offered by our friendly waiter.We had a very memorable night here from start to finish and I we will be back again…….

We visited Wine Chambers for the 4th time a few weeks ago – it’s our ‘go to’ restaurant when we want a meal somewhere amazing, with wine, food and service we know will be awesome. We were really disappointed. In the past we’ve been made to feel special, with recommendations and tastings of wine but last time was a bit of a let down.

For a start Abba was playing Mama Mia. NOt saying it shouldn’t be played but the setting wasn’t right…. there were quite a few big groups – again OK but I think this meant that the staff were flat out serving the groups.

Because we had our main waiter leave a recommended bottle of wine on the table and that was it – he didn’t return to see if we wanted a glass… then the next waiter couldn’t open a screwtop closure on the wine I’d chosen… my husband opened it. Our initial waiter started talking business and swapping cards with people at the table next to ours.. just seemed tacky.

The food was still divine. Phew. The setting still amazing. But we left feeling we’d missed out on the usual experience.

We probably won’t go back unless we hear things are back up to standards past.

The setting of this restaurant is lovely – in among old school law chamber offices. One room leads to other increasingly smaller rooms providing many semi private areas that were occupied that night by a couple of larger groups. This was very successful as it gave them their privacy while sparing the rest of us the extra noise.
The food was very good as was the service. Unfortunately toward the end of our meal the owner & her daughter started stripping the tables around us & pushing them together making one large table that completely blocked us into a corner! We were definitely being rushed out & asked why. Apparently they had lost a booking for a large party that were waiting in the foyer. Would have been nice to have it explained to us instead of being made to feel like dinner guests who don’t know when to go home! I know owners get very proprietary with their restaurants, and yes, we know you own it, but if you don’t make your diners feel welcome they won’t come back.

We had dinner at wine chambers and wont be returning ever. Not only was the wines cheap n nasty, the food came out cold! only had a choice of two dishes.
The tables were way to close together and we had booked a week prior, and to top it all off the staff were very rude as i have been made to feel more welcome at burger king!

My Wife and I plus three friends had her birthday dinner there: The service was excellent, Friendly and chatty. The Entree was very good followed by a very nice main of the beef ribs, However the most interesting was their wine list which we made much use of. It was great that Martina could spend so much time with us which was an honor indeed, So there are no doubt we will be there again

Thanks Martina and the team
Regards

The food here was pretty good. We came here as part of a group. The only annoying thing was that the waiter kept trying to up sell us to a magnum of of wine that we had never heard of. He was quite pushy and we had to keep telling him we weren’t interested. Other than that, it was a really nice night.

Had some great food here, but last time was pretty average for a place that is normally a cut above

The steak was grey and the mash uninteresting – just expected a bit better

We’ve visited Wine Chambers both for private dining and with a function and loved it both times. The food was faultless and the wine list extensive. Thoroughly recommend it!

Outstanding food, service and wines, all at a very reasonable price. Atmosphere is very good, not overly noisy, and the decor above average.
I would rate Wine Chambers head and shoulders above many of the “5 star” restaurants I have been to.
