   Modern, beautiful food and terrific friendly service. A little more signage at night for the right restaurant would be good . Absolutely loved it And the local wine was excellent too! Will be going back

   Thank you to Mark and the amazing wait staff at the Cellar Door (Bendooley Estate) who made our romantic dinner for two special, fun, relaxed and exactly as we had planned for it to be. We were seated by the stunning log fire and our meals were amazing and arrived in great timing. The cocktails were delicious and we felt well cared for. We will be back for sure!

   A wonderful restaurant in a amongst the gorgeous setting of the vineyards. Known more commonly as a wedding reception venue, the gardens and surrounding areas are picturesque and feel likes a mini escape to Europe. Staff are very friendly and attentive despite it being quite busy at the time and food was cooked to perfection. Dishes are presented beautifully and made a special occasion lunch a nice treat and feeling spoilt for choice. Wines are made on site and are surprisingly very good for a local wine selection. Highly Recommended!

   Great food and ambiance. We received very poor service. All the starters and mains arrived at the same time. Our waitress seemed grumpy and visibly rolled her eyes when we asked for another glass of wine ( which we then had to go and find ourselves when it was not served)

    Great experience, beautiful place and service. Loved the cheese board with the truffle honey and wine. Charcuterie board needs some improvement. Nice chat and wine testing. Selection of old books is great.

    It is always a great experience with Mark as your host at this relatively new addition to Bendooley’s dining options. Great to have an evening venue now at Bendooley. The atmosphere, service and attentiveness were great, as always with Mark at the helm. The food was very good and my steak dish was as good as I have had. The estate wines are high quality and very fairly priced . We had the Cabernet Sauvignon and it was rich and had a lovely earthy finish. We shall visit often in the future and consider it an excellent place to dining.

    We had a beautiful dinner with friends at the Cellar Door and had the most lovely night. We couldn’t fault the food, wine was great and the service was friendly. We were made feel welcome by the staff and were warmed by the open fire place on a cool, windy night. Can’t wait to go back.

    Overall a bit of a disappointment. We ordered a cocktail, entrée and main. The entrée came in a matter of minutes The cocktail came after that - all at different times - and one was incorrect. When corrected it was missing all of the fresh items and tasted like wine with water. The mains came a couple of minutes after our entrees were taken away. The pasta was not cooked properly and the souffle tasted like a bad quiche. We were done with mains pretty quickly and the waiter didn't even ask if we wanted a wine or any drinks following that. Overall made for a bad experience.

    The Pumpkin Gnocchi was 90 pieces of gnocchi, 10 small cubes of pumpkin, a few seeds and not much holding it together. Tasteless. Overwhelming amount of potato. No real flavour. Spoilt the meal. Take it off the menu. It's horrible.

    We love Bendooley's but were taken aback a little yesterday. My wife and I both ordered the crab linguine for mains and felt it was extremely fatty/oily which made us feel unwell afterwards. We've both had tummy issues for a day now since so would seem we didn't take it well. Additionally I was after a little desert and an espresso but while we got the desert menus from the waitress, she never came back asking us for our order. It was very busy at the time, seemed she was the only one around. We ended up leaving after waiting for 20 minutes not being able to get anybody's attention. Overall not impressed with this visit which is a shame because we had such great experience before.

    I had lunch with two Sydney friends. Normally we’d just go to a cafe but as we were celebrating a birthday, we decided to go more upmarket. The food came quickly and was delicious. I had the crab linguine and would definitely have it again. The ambience of the restaurant is lovely and welcoming.
