Bar
👍👍 Bloody fantastic. Loved the cocktails and beers. Food was just the ticket (including the presence of Vegemite!) And let's not ignore the elephant in the room, the fantastic waterfall sculptured bar, which just sent me back home to the banks of the Plenty River.

👍👍 Absolutely delicious! We sat outside with our dog on a rainy day. Perfect cover from the rain and nicely sheltered from wind. Plus, the cafe had outdoor heat on the terrace. I ordered the Cauliflower gnocchi. It was beautifully presented and the flavour was gorgeous. I also had a fresh apple and str...

Wine bar
😠 The bartender was a class act he sounded a lot like Mel Gibson from Braveheart, too. I want to add I am a recovering alcoholic and I do not regret choosing this venue to end 15 years of sobriety.Thank you.

Ordain Bistro Seaford
Restaurant
👍👍 From when you sit down, to the attentiveness of the staff, the waitress appearing to have sommelier training and the chef (kinda looks like Isaac Butterfield) coming to check on you throughout, everything is 5+ star for being in a beachy area surrounded by takeaways etc. This is definitely a hidden...

Midnight Starling
Bistro
👍👍 French bistro with prix fixe menu and solid selection of local wines by glass plus some French classics for good measure. Servings are a little small at first glance but the sauces are very rich and with sufficient side dishes you won't go hungry.

😐 The restaurant is at an average level and google review is over marked. I had a brunch with my son on Saturday morning. He ordered a beef burger and a strawberry smoothie. I ordered toast with scrambled egg and avocado/ bacon/feta cheese extras, aside from that I ordered a flat white coffee. Besid...

There is no skimping on anything, and there is plenty of it. Even if you are not staying there , it is well worth going there f...

The duck was soft, delicate and perfectly pink with a bold orange sauce and it was perfect with a Pinot Noir. The terrine was delicious with a punchy flavoured jelly complimented with warmed sour dough and corni...
