Liked the atmosphear. Came for dinner, great draft beer, excellent staff and cracking fire on cold, wet night. Ordered rump steak - disappointing. Meat had poor sear/char and hadn't been rested. Chewy an lacked taste .Steak needs be dry , well seasoned an start in good hot plate or pan. Min butter /oil untill that char (brown/blackish goodnes that makes meat flavorsom!) has been achieved. Sides ok. Ribs not bad , side of chips an salade just ok.

The fettuccine special, schnapper and chips and garlic prawns were excellent choices at our table. The small serve of prawns perhaps with a side salad would be ample for a small eater. Small tasting plates were a good idea as well. Disappointing the pork belly was not available, obviously too popular over the weekend. Staff were fabulous. Not many country pubs serve food of this standard and not many are open for meals on a Monday night. Top marks Greenbushes.

Paid another visit to this neighbourhood gem as we were in Greenbushes and it seems the place has become extremely popular. Lucky we had made a booking as otherwise we would not have been able to get a tableAs on previous occasions, the food was magnificent, service fantastic and prices everyone can afford. There should be more of these little family run businesses where you're made to feel part of the familyThanks again Luke, Shannon and team for giving us a great night out

Travelled today for lunch at Smallwater. We had made a reservation. Generally pretty disappointed!A quiet day but even so the one staff member on was struggling to deal with the cellar door and the restaurant. We were acknowledged but waited about 15 minutes to be seated at our table. Too long.The menus were interesting and varied. There was only one small bottle of soda available when we asked for sparkling mineral water. A complimentary bowl of spiced nuts was appreciated.We were disturbed by the volume of the music and asked (twice) that it be turned down. Such an imposition when seated overlooking a beautiful, otherwise relaxing rural lake & vineyard scene with birds singing! The food was enjoyable though not special. The marron pie was OK and did contain a reasonable amount of the Wineries own marron. Both dishes though, lacked anything in the way of presentation. The pie was served with a small amount of mashed potato topped with a dash of dried green decoration. $45! In my opinion too expensive even for marron - the pie was small, albeit well made! Would we return? Probably not. Would we recommend? No.HiFirstly, we would like to thank you for taking time to leave your review. Secondly, we would like to apologize that your experience was not what you expected.If I can explain: As you arrived at the cellar door, as did 10 other guests, some expected, some not, some where late for there booking and some early. Unfortunately, this cannot be helped, but as a result everyone came to the cellar door at once. To wait 15 minutes to be seated is unacceptable, and for this we apologize, and we have addressed this. I do need to let you know that whilst you were waiting to be seated, your husband had a wonder through the restaurant and was approached outside the kitchen by the chef and was asked if everything was ok, your husband replied âyesâ and âim just waiting for my wifeâ.Unfortunately, after an unplanned super full restaurant over the weekend (days & nights & unexpected) we had ran out of some items including sparkling mineral water, this cannot be helped.It was advised that you wanted the music turned down, this was done for you (twice) even though the first time we were asked by other diners why had we turned the music down, âcan you turn it back upâ! The music is easy listening blues & jazz. Being a working winery we do not have birds singing. The views, food and music work hand in hand, we are rustic and relaxed. We receive so many compliments about the music, more than negatives.With regards to the marron, we offer 80g of marron, this is condensed down so you can appreciate the marron, making a dish any bigger would make it a mixed marron pie, and the mash equates to 3 potatoes, each the size of an avocadoâs, the âdried greensâ is actually fried kale and Asian greens, not for decoration but to compliment the flavours of the marron and mash. The marron is the most expensive item on our menu and this is because it is hugely expensive for us to buy, itâs all relative. As you know your husband had the tapas croquettes for $12, we are far from expensive for the type of food we do.Whilst we do not like to receive a bad review, we look at it constructively and take it on board, however in this case the only thing we feel is not acceptable is the 15 minutes wait time. Everything else is how we do things. We accept the fact that you will probably not return and that you would not recommend us and for this we feel disappointed, but we cannot please everybody, we wish we could. Thank you for taking the time to read our reply.
