Lovely cosy old school place with a wonderful cosy ambience from the extensive wood paneling and classic furniture.
The menu is small and changes often to match what's in season so there is always something new to try. They have an extensive beverage list where you can try things you might not normally have.

Some friends of ours met us here over the weekend for a catchup. The menu shocked us all. For a wine venue, they lacked significantly in the "nibble" category. Really only serving meals - but the name of the place implies it would've been more like a wine bar. Anyhoo, perhaps our mistake there. But nevertheless, we still expected to see some smaller plate options so we could sip on some wine and nibble away. But nope, not this place. There were 5 cheeses to pick from - in either a 25g ($10) or 50g ($20) option - which is a total joke. Look at the grams per dollar value - 50g is about the weight of a birthday card your grandma would send (and no coins in it either!). It wasn't like they were serving up some rare, specially made cheese from monks in secret places here. The service was significantly lacking as well. It was like we were being served by a couple of wet noodles, with stone faces. We were a party of 4, had 1 bottle of red wine, 2 beers, 1 cider, a plate with 3 x 50g of cheese, and a spam-meaty sorta slice on another plate = $166. If the atmosphere was better, and if you got a lot more value, yeah, then that price wouldn't have been that bad (maybe). The actual venue is pretty quirky and cute, but everything else could stand major improvements.

This place offers really great quality and service. The food is consistently good and occasionally amazing. The wine selection is extensive, as expected. You will pay fairly dearly for the attention, warmth and delicious food and wine, sometimes it can seem a bit much, but Ive never left feeling disappointed.

I hardly ever say 5 star, but this place really hit the mark. From the atmosphere, surrounds, service, food quality, presentation etc.
It is more of a gastropub/wine bar type place. The setting is very much like a traditional english gastropub dining room - lovely high ceilings, plenty of wood paneling, framed pictures, wine displays etc. The food itself is fairly traditional - duck terrine with housemade pickled vegetables, beef tri-tip with Yorkshire pudding, roast fennel & chats, with red wine jus, and a simple scoop of house-made spiced ice-cream adorned with crumbed chocolate berobed meringue. The delightful thing was that everything was very balanced, generous, beautifully presented and well priced (to a bargain). Go!!
