    Chris Annalena and Pam gave us 5 star service last night. All are extremely professional, caring and fabulously friendly without being too accessive. We enjoyed our dinner very much. The steak was to die for tasty. No effort to cut with our knives. Ambience was perfect. Would definitely recommend dining at Ripponlea Food and Wine. Andrea Jayne Jennings and Therese Williams.

    Gorgeous restaurant. Service overwhelming at first with multiple servers hovering around us and asking us if we were ready. Then it was like they all went home with mains arriving to a table that hadn’t been cleared and cutlery not ready after meals provided. The wrong dessert was then served and following the meals we couldn’t get any one’s attention to pay the check. Food was ok but spoiled by lack of service and detail.
