We enjoyed our experience at The Wild Flower Bar & Dining but some aspects left us disappointed. The food was fantastic, dessert was a stand out. Unfortunately we waited until we had almost finished our meal for the wine to arrive after asking 5 times. It was difficult to get the attention of someone to order it, I did have to wave a lot to attract a waiter/ress even though there seemed to be several of them near us. We did feel quite rushed, as we had share plates with a magnificent salt cooked snapper, but our plates were removed when there was still a lot of fish and steak left in the middle of the table. It happened so quickly we would have liked more time to pick at the delicious food. At the prices we were being charged, having time to enjoy the meal is imperative. We were very appreciative that the bottle of wine was provided complimentary due to the very long wait.

It was the best fine dining experience we have had since moving the Central Coast. Great food, classy wine list, perfect service, lovely outside area for pre-drinks at the outside deck. The room is so lovely when the sun shines through on a relaxing Sunday lunch. Well done to the team

Had a lovely time but needed advice on the fish. Was recommended the John Dory but it wasn’t very fresh. The tooth fish was excellent. Strange payment arrangement as I was charged a service fee on my debit card for using eftpos machine. Staff seemed to drop things a fair bit. On a visit from UK. Grounds looked beautiful but not open to diners, only house guests.

The flavour in my dish was excellent. I had the pasta and vongole. The vongole were so tough you could bounce them off a wall, which was disappointing. The rest of the meal was very good but value for money , we don’t think it quite met the experience.

All food was lovely except my steak was over cooked and not enough sauce but they were happy to bring more. Wine list a bit confusing as without glasses and two prices for wine I thought glass and bottle. But it was glass and carafe. Turn the next page for bottle prices big difference. I was given a gift voucher and the difference was $20.05. My account shows charge of $28.61???? Will give them a call on principal. Why?

Delicious food and a beautiful setting. The staff however were low energy and not particularly friendly. A smile while being seated or my partners 'happy birthday' plate being brought out with dessert rather than after it while waiting for the bill would have lifted it to a 5.

I love the food here but the service is poor. As the restaurant got more busy it was hard to get the waitstaff attention. I was only able to get one glass of wine because no one came back to ask how we were. They cleared side plates we needed for the sides we ordered and it took a long time to get some attention to get them back. We had been planning on deserts but were basically just left alone once the single drink and meals were ordered. I miss the high service under the old owner, the white table clothes, the dukkah and oil with bread, it just feels a lot cheaper though the food is not.

Always a treat to come to Bells. We have been coming here for over 15 years starting back when Manfredi ran the kitchen. We love the atmosphere, service and quality of the food. The waiting staff are professional and knowledgeable. The food is delicious, seasonal, fresh and inspiring. I love to cook so hate to go out, spend money on a meal thinking I could have done a better job myself. Bells has always been and still is our favourite place to eat on the Coast. Thanks for another memorable meal x

For the prices, the food was fairly bland and if we compare to similarly priced places, just wasnt impressive at all. Service was generally ok but we had to call waiter over on several occasions to order more drinks. Again..for the price just wasnt schmick like you.would expect. Would not return unfortunately as many better places for special occasion spend
