Had a light lunch here with my girlfriend and had a wonderful experience. The pizzas are exquisite, I recommend the farmers pizza and send my compliments to the chef. The staff were lovely and very attentive. What I loved the most though was the location and the view of the winery from our table. It was fantastic. I couldn't recommend this place more.

Approximate cost: $20

The new tapas menu is sensational !!!!
The tapas has that very fresh taste, and not stodgy like some others ... and the pricing is fabulous ....

Great food, well priced. Shame they have taken the wagyu burger off the menu! Would have had dessert but the service was too slow to keep me interested. Love the views

A beautiful place, with a magnificent view of the vineyards with scrumptious food, fantastic wine and the staff are great. We enjoyed a leisurely lunch on a sunny weekday afternoon, and we'll be sure to return.

Sensational new menu... Fresh food... Warm and friendly service... So glad to have a restaurant taking a risk and providing innovative and quality food close to home... Thank you

I must admit this was a disappointment. I was the first to review Wild Dog on WOMOW and gave them all 5's for the first visit. We went last night for Valentine's Day dinner and we were dismayed. We sat for more than 10 minutes without anyone coming to our table to even fill our water glasses. After at least 10 minutes, we had to summon someone to our table. The server came to our table empty handed and asked us what we wanted! They left to go and get water that was barely cool. There was a piece of paper under the plates with selections for the Valentine Special, 4 courses for $65.0 per person. The first item was a Starter to "Share" with 2 choices, the Entree had 3 choices, the Main had 3 choices followed by a Palate Cleanser and there were 2 choices for dessert. A glass of wine was also included (as it should have been - this is after all a winery!). You were given a choice of 2 whites and 1 red. The red was a Cab Sav/Shiraz blend. We ONLY drink Cab Sav and were told if we wanted Cab Sav we would have to buy a bottle, produced at this winery, apart from the meal. This winery makes a fine Cab/Sav. Surely there was a bottle from tasting open or they could have opened one. We weren't looking for a free bottle or a $100 bottle, just the Cab/Sav that would be offered in the cellar door. No price was given for the bottle, but we said we would pay for it. I walked to the shelves in the cellar door after the wine was delivered to our table to get the price - $23 - reasonable; however, no discount was offered on the bottle and no recompense for the "complimentary" glass. In fact we were charged $33 on our bill for the $23 bottle of wine, presumably because we consumed it on the premises! The food itself was quite good, but the portions were miniscule. As we paid the bill, which came to $163.00 due to our additional bottle of wine (charged $33 instead of $23), we informed them that I was the first reviewer of Wild Dog on WOMOW and gave them my reviewer name. The reply was "Thank you." They are now offering a WOMO discount which according to the manager must be booked in advance by signing up somewhere or something like that and would not give us any of the discount. Not very good customer relations to encourage us to return. The Faulty Towers show I mentioned in my first review will be returning, but we will not attend. I stand by the cleanliness of the place and the pleasant surroundings. The bottle of wine that we had to buy was satisfactory, but we are pretty upset we were charged the additional $10. The food was good but very little of it - so little that we stopped at McDonald's for a burger on the way home. This was a 90 minute drive each way for us that we won't be making again. As this is a "5 star" business I am sure I will be asked to review my issues with Wild Dog and see if the issues can be resolved, but as we spoke with them about this before leaving and told them this review would be posted, there is no point in discussing this with them. This review will stand.

Approximate cost: $65
