Middlebrook Estate - MCLAREN VALE

The restaurant could benefit from a more professional approach. I recently attended a cocktail-style wedding reception here and found the food to be very good, especially the unique duck spring rolls. However, the service was not up to par. It seemed more erratic than poor. The waitstaff, who my children unkindly referred to as "child waiters," were clearly inexperienced. It was disappointing to see that only a portion of the guests received their food, while others had to ask multiple times. The presentation of the Paella was lacking in mussels, and the food came out in a confusing order. The desserts and lamb cutlets arrived after everyone thought they were just getting appetizers. The chocolate fountain, although enjoyable, arrived too late and had to be taken away at one point. Overall, the experience could have been fantastic, but instead, it was just ordinary.

I had a very enjoyable lunch at this restaurant. The service was friendly and efficient, with helpful waiting staff. The food was excellent, especially the duck rillette and beef rib eye. However, the bread was disappointing as it appeared to be stale.

I highly recommend this restaurant for Sunday lunch. The food was fantastic and paired well with the wine selection. The staff were wonderful and it's a perfect place to spend a Sunday afternoon. We will definitely be returning.

We went there for a wedding held in her dining room, there were about 100 guests and the food was absolutely fabulous. Delicious canaps and a delicious 3-course menu. The wines were very good and service from the staff was great. The...Occcassion made very special.

Better than expected. I expected great food and wine and was overhauled. Everyone was mouthful to enjoy. Service was excellent. A real wine and dune experience
