Ok, so I did wait approximately 25 minutes for what I thought would be a short wait the Pork and Apple burger which was a Pork Pattie with apple sauce burger literally – salad and wedges. The salad was very nice I must admit but like the previous reviews the customer service here is second rate from the chef who probably owns the place through to the wait staff who looked like she could have been somebody who just walked off the street. Not one to judge I did stay for my meal but thought if it takes 35 minutes that’s unacceptable and I’m out of here. The burger was ok, yep just ok it was a pork pattie but very very dry. The saving grace was the side salad, wedges and aioli which I ordered separately that came in a very very small portion and on requesting a second serving of aioli had to pay an extra $1.00 um. On reflection I won’t make an effort to go back here again and if for some weird reason I ened up back at this place I would order the lettuce salad, wedges and aioli and save myself about $10.00!!!!

Shocking experience….. I brought a Social Living gift voucher on line. The voucher when gifted using the Social Living voucher system on the site, somehow messed up and the voucher was never received. We rang the Winemakers Daughter and explained we had the voucher number but not the voucher itself. I have purchased vouchers before and the vendors have accepted the voucher number without the voucher. So we drove a long way only to have the staff tell us that they would not accept the receipt and voucher number we had printed from the site. The staff were very short and not in the least bit customer oriented. We stayed for a meal anyway, which was not flash and all I want now is my money back from Social Living. Customer Service was really bad, food below average.

I stopped in here with a group of friends on our way through. The waitress was lovely and drinks were ordered and severed promptly. We all ordered from the $10 menu. The food was delivered hot, the only fault being there were no sauce(s) offered. I will definitely be stopping there again.

Went to this restaurant after asking a group of friends for a suggestion for somewhere to lunch in the area. We were a group of fourteen adults of varying ages. I am surprised to read some of the reviews on this site and can only presume that it has a new chef or owner. Most of us ordered from the $10 lunch menu and were very pleasantly surprised by the quality and good value for money that we received. There were two vegetarians among the group and they were well catered for as well. All of the food was fresh and delicious.They were fully licenced and the price of the wine was not over the top which is always good for a group with varying budgets. We sat in the outer area of the restaurant and loved the outlook onto the trees and gardens.We all agreed we would return again and would suggest this cafe to anyone for a good value lunch.

sorry Jane i thought that it great they had no need 2 take our coats because its not a fancy restaurant its an wonderful family restaurant which the food was appetizing it filled you up fast the only way you would be seated in a good seat was if you would book because MANY people enjoy going there so it is very busy love it love it love it!!!4 stars ****

Awful awful awful! I have to agree with the review above. Upon arriving, (I think?) we were waved to by what I presumed to be a waitress but I really didn’t know. Was she a customer? Why is no-body seating us for so long? We felt very uncomfortable and un-welcome. She proceeded to wait at the servery for about 5 minutes but did not attempt to come over to us to show us a table. Finally someone else came from the back and showed us to an undressed, small table (there were three of us). No attempt was made to take our coats – were were forced to drape them on the backs of chairs where they, and our bags, got dirty. The menu was limited – I had the ‘fish of the day’ – it came overcooked and rubbery – it had been pan fried with absolutely no seasoning or salt to speak of and had very little flavour. The home-made potato wedges were not cooked through – we were served raw potato! There is just no excuse. Again there was no real flavour and no attempt at seasoning. Plonked in the middle of the table was a large bowl of gigantic undressed lettuce leaves which we presumed was supposed to be a salad. They were not edible unless were suppose to dive in with our hands an break them up? I did not finish mine it was so awful and boring – it is a long time since any meal has been such a huge disappointment. We then all ordered the baked cheesecake for desert. Two came out looking distinctly different from the other – they were flat, a sort of slimy-brown on top, and tasted very off – sour, old and stale. I cannot believe they expected us to pay for two deserts which had obviously been sitting around for the better part of a week. I sent them back with a request for the same cheesecake as the third. No apology was made and not even a hint of embarrassment to show on the server’s face. They obviously were trying to get away with it and had half-expected them to be returned anyway – their attitude seemed to be ‘try it and see’. A glass of wine was ordered but it was very average and we couldn’t tell from what bottle as it was not poured at the table. The toilets, when we eventually found them; no thanks to any discernible signage, had a lot of strong urine odours and were located outside. To access them we had to negotiate an un-covered slippery deck that was poorly lit and further heeded by a toppled umbrella stand no-one had bothered to pick up. I have just looked at my Visa bill and am so incensed at now having to pay for this excuse for a meal I decided to write this review after all. For the grand sum of $43.40 each I will never ever return – this place does not deserve to be in business and needs a complete menu and staffing overhaul if I am ever to return. Beware all who dare – do not get your hopes up! One star – poor poor poor.

I had my work function here and I felt like I was at a wedding the atmosphere was so romantic the flowers were in full bloom the food was OK I can see they don’t want to do the run of the mill kind of stuff you expect on a buffet and thats OK its not the RSA.

Dear Host/Hostess
Regarding our outing to your restaurant and winery on Saturday night. We would like to say that we were most disappointed in your meal and hospitality. We have been to many functions over the years, and find your place of residence to be the most unsatisfactory. I would have been too embarrassed to dish up something like that, which can only be described as you being on a VERY tight budget. Not only did the meal leave a lot to be desired, but also there was no atmosphere and the tables were not even dressed. We felt like a herd of cattle coming in for milking. Being a bus company, we deal with many many customers, and are always in a position to recommend nice places to go to, however we will not be recommending the Winemakers Daughter to anyone. I would work on improving your meals and hospitality!
