    Fabulous sunset, delicious food, good wine list and fantastic service. We thoroughly enjoyed our dinner here. Make sure before you book you check what time sunset is as it is definitely worth seeing the spectacular sunset before enjoying a delicious dinner.

    Food was superb - even the bread knocked it out of the park with its Vegimite butter accompaniment! We visited during a particularly bad storm so I can’t comment on the sunset views but we had a very warm welcome from the very friendly staff.

    The food was absolutely incredible! The flavour combinations crossed with show casing local produce honestly exceeded expectations. We were so so happy with our meal, the service, the wine combinations and how cared for we were. 100% would recommend and we make sure we visit every time we visit the island :)

    Loved our entire experience here. Service was warm and friendly. Food was delicious. It was very warm on the veranda when we arrived (during a heatwave) so we chose to sit indoors. When the sun started to set and the temperature dropped the staff moved us out to the veranda without having to be asked so we could enjoy the amazing view of the sunset. Not for diners on a budget but a great place to eat if you're looking for somewhere memorable for a special occasion.

    Service was excellent and staff went out of their way to accommodate any requests, etc. Food was very tasty but very small. For what works out to be $16 average per dish for their set tasting menu, each person gets little more than a bite of each dish. Even the ‘mains’ were tiny servings (about 2 mouthfuls per person). We also found pin-bones in our fish. We’ve been here about 3 times now and each time it feels like the servings get smaller. There probably won’t be a 4th time.

    Michelin Star quality food, and oh, what a view! This gem on Kangaroo Island is a must for any food lover. The staff are suitably attentive and incredibly friendly. Just a tip: if you're sitting outside on a sunny evening , and I highly recommend doing this because the view is excellent - take your sunglasses and sunscreen

    Magnificent! Food of Michelin-star quality without the accompanying pomp and snobbery. Friendly and considerate staff. Beautiful surroundings, with a stupendous view across Eastern Cove towards Island Beach, Pelican Lagoon, and American River. Impossible to fault in any way.

    I would definitely go back. I was especially delighted with the level of effort that went into providing a vegan version of the dishes, including dessert, and it was all delicious. The staff were very friendly, professional and accommodating. Watching the sunset over Eastern Cove with the changing colours and ocean expanse was a visual treat. Don't miss this experience.

    All our friends spoke of their Fig Tree dining experience, naturally we visited them first. However we are so glad to also have had the opportunity to experience Sunset. The food was divine. From the very first course we knew we were about to experience an evening that will always be special and all other degustations need to live up to. We have told all our friends and shown photos of the sunset views and food. They are all jealous and look forward to visiting on there next trip to KI. This is a must do experience for every visitor to KI!

    Wow! What a find! Who would have thought we’d find gourmet food in a stunning location like this! And all for what was actually a decent price. As we booked for a Saturday night we had the fixed price multi-course menu. How many courses? Not sure. It was advertised variously as 5 or 7, but it had to be at least nine! All delicious (but a shout-out to the chef on the melt-in-your-mouth beef cheeks). Unpretentious service topped it off. If we didn’t live 2000km away we’d be back. A must do as a special occasion if you’re on KI.
