Management was fantastic in accomodating to us. I had a moscato and my partner had a rose both lovely. We had an antipasto board which couldve been bigger and a main each. Was delightful particularly the oyster blade melted in the mouth. However portions a little small.

Dont bother Isabellas Mothers Day rip off, we paid $110 per person fixed price menu. Tasteless, mass produced food, beetroot had soggy wet filo pastry on top, frozen prawns, most of the sauces couldnt be identified, food combinations didnt work and made no sense. The drink waiter had three attempts to bring the right bottle of Chardonnay and tried to convince us the 2018 was the same as the 2017, seriously and this is a winery! Window view was of the ticket booths for large events and undercover plastic tables and chairs, not a vineyard in site. Noisy like a shopping centre food court but food was worse. Not sure how they get their reviews but should have read down further. Too many great wineries in the Yarra Valley, dont go near this one!

Had a lovely lunch for a birthday. The view was lovely, the restaurant is full of light from all the windows. Truly a beautiful place to dine. Staff were friendly but at times a bit slow. It costs $75 for a three course meal which seems reasonable for the quality and presentation of the dishes. The pork belly entree was nice but I really wish it had some pork crackle on it. Lamb shoulder was definitely the highlight, melting in your mouth and falling off the bone. The apple mousse dessert was the lowlight of the meal. By itself the cake was too burnt on top, but once put together with the mousse it was nice but I wouldnt rush back for it. Still a lovely place for a winery lunch!

Let down by poor customer service from a rude waiter. Food was great and atmosphere was vibrant however experience was let down by a rude older short/bald waiter. Winged that we didn't know our table number when it came to pay like it was a big problem and was upset and frustrated that a gift card was being used and complained that the customer should know how to process it? Which made absolutely no sense. We all have hard days however this really dampened the experience..displaying a smile and being positive/ polite to paying customers shouldn't be too much to ask for. I hope management provides more training and feedback.
