Really enjoyed the surprise of Two Doors. Dubbo was a stop off destination and I wasn't expecting…read moretoo much except for some good pub food. However, some pork belly skewers dipped in caramel quickly made me realize this place was a hidden gem. Prawns great, snapper great, dessert equally as great!

On a whim, we decided to drop into Two Doors, and were immediately taken with the decor and…read moreatmosphere. The friendly staff greeted and seated us, after explaining they were almost fully booked out. Excited by the prospects on the menu, we awaited our order. We were not disappointed. Our five half serves between the two of us was only slightly too much food, but we diligently tucked in, fueled by deliciousness. Everything, including our drinks, was delightful, but the piece de resistance was easily the soft shelled crab tacos. Never have I eaten such an attractive and tasty morsel, from the lightly battered and fried meat of the title, through the mung beans and spiced mayonnaise underneath, to the perfectly prepared and crispy base.

Dropped in for a quick meal with the family. Had some gluten free options and found some more when…read moreI asked. Food was better than expected (for a country town with limited choices). I enjoyed fettuccini Siciliana, with loads of chorizo, olives, anchovies and cheese. Others had crispy skin salmon, lamb risotto and a pizza. All were satisfied. Food could use less salt though. Rated four stars for Parkes (would rate three stars in Sydney) Hey, good enough to back up for their breakfast tomorrow.

Not sure why there aren't any reviews up, because this lovely place is popular. I would consider…read morethis an upmarket yet understated (read: not posh pants) place, complete with mood lighting, linen manchester, silver service, pretty food and elevated prices. But it's worth it, for a special occasion. A good range of ages were represented and plates were mostly heading back to the kitchen empty. That's got to be a good sign. I enjoyed all three courses, sneaking a taste of a couple of the others on the table. Our table, that is. Not the one next door. Although... the neighbouring table was so close I could have sneaked a morsel from their plate. And the nosy parker did seem inordinately more interested in our conversations than those of her companion. That might be my only criticism. The seating position could be spaced out a little bit more. We left in high spirits, with full bellies and lighter wallets. But we weren't complaining.

After consuming large amounts of turkey and ham over the Christmas holidays, my wife and I needed a…read morebit of a break and decided to have a date night. As we were in Orange NSW we couldn't think of a better place than Lolli Redini. We have been there before and knew what to expect - good service, warm atmosphere and carefully prepared food . They are consistently voted as a top place to go in the area so we knew we wouldn't be disappointed! I have to tell you I wanted to give them a five star because every bite of our meals were amazing. The way they combine local ingredients to create their dishes is truly a great experience. The only issue we had was we were greeted by someone that had very little experience and although she was trying hard to please, fell short in the beginning . We had to firstly ask for a menu after being seated for quite some time then we had to give our order to another staff member because they were not confident that she had filled out the order form properly - and we heard about the evening special after we already decided on what to have. But these are little things and after that the food made up for it . Okay, three courses for $95.00 is okay for nice food, and my wife ordered different dishes than I so we could switch at the halfway point and get to experience six courses each. My wife chose a Prawn Squid Ink Pasta with Baby Zucchini for starters, Mullaway fillet with Leeks and Spanner Crab Sauce, and a Rhubarb Strawberry Parfait. I chose a Broad Bean and Pea Risotto with Pancetta for starter, Pork belly with celeriac gratin and Granny Smith apple sauce, and pressed chocolate soufflé cake with fresh figs. The Pork Belly and Chocolate cake were stand out items for me but all the food was amazing. Please try it. If you go,try their signature cheese soufflé - it has been a standout there for years but we wanted to try other dishes.

Whilst visiting this estate for their degustation is pleasant enough with the food and wine (in…read morefact 4 stars worth), do not rely on taxis or buses organised by Di Lusso staff to get you home at night, even if you have paid in advance. We were left high and dry without transport back to Mudgee at 10:25pm. Di Lusso had organised a 'bus. We were picked up from various places around Mudgee then delivered to Di Lusso at the beginning of the evening. We each paid Di Lusso $15 which was supposed to include our return journey. The bus driver told us to be ready at 10:30pm but when we walked out at 10:25pm we were told the 'bus had gone. This is when the staff at Di Lusso said that they had made the call for the 'bus but at least 10 of us did not hear or see anyone walking around doing that call. When we asked the Di Lusso staff about calling a taxi we then were told the taxi company was not responding to calls. There was one taxi driver who did appear as he had been called independently and got the message that there were more people waiting for transport. He came back. The fare into Mudgee was around $30 for 6 of us. As we expected, there was plenty of wine with this meal. Had we been breathalysed we would have been over the limit to drive. This is the reason we had asked Di Lusso initially about transport. Unfortunately many people drove home possibly over the limit and questions should be asked od Di Lusso about the responsible service of alcohol.

Did some wine tasting first bought a bottle of their moscato and sat down to order the antipasti and pizza di pollo both $25. Both pizzas pretty tasty. Staff are friendly and attentive.
