I knew it would be on the pricier side given it is in the Hunter Valley but when my partners 250g scotch fillet was placed on the table I felt bad for him. Nearly $40 for a piece of meat on a large plate with a wedge of lemon and a small gravy boat of rosemary jus. I guess I'm not accustomed to 'fine dining' servings but that is ridiculous. Now... pommes frites. $9 for a side of French fries! I didn't inquire. Were they just fancy named chips? Or were they prepared in more detail; twice fried using animal fat? They were tasty but not necessarily special. Also ordered a $9 side of heirloom carrots with labneh and dukkah. I loved the different coloured carrots and have taken a liking to labneh of late. My 8hr slow braised lamb shoulder was amazing. Once again a pricey meal but at least it was a larger serving and came with a big slice of roasted pumpkin with yoghurt. The lamb fell apart beautifully. The atmosphere was nice for dinner with low lighting and soft music. I don't know that I'd return but at least I'll be better prepared if I do.

The food here is quite elevated. We had the three course meal where we got to pick our courses from a selection of offerings. Everything was really great except that the mussel entree was a bit overpowering. I was also obsessed with their open floor plan table bar where you could walk around it and survey the offerings.

Absolutely five stars…read more Great fresh local food. Wonderful service. Good wines at fair prices. Beautiful setting, inside and out. Inside where we were seated is white and modern with a formal feeling. We did not do the tasting menu, but rather the three course a la carte menu. Writing this review too long after our visit, with no website to look at, all I can remember is the carrot and ginger soup amuse, with wonderful flavors, and the venison main course. The venison was cooked perfectly and accompanied by a nice assortment of fresh garden vegetables. I do remember that everything was great and cooked perfectly. Lunch is served a couple days a week, otherwise its dinner only.

Your choice of chicken, pork or lamb (extra), salad and side served with pilaf, tzatziki and pita bread. We opted for chicken which was subtly spiced and juicy. Village salad (Greek salad) and feta filo fingers. I loved those!! Creamy, salty feta wrapped in filo pastry, drizzled with honey. A nice flavour combination.

I thought I'd treat myself on the way home and ordered the onion bhajis. They are the cheapest of the entree options and I think that shows in the final product. Pretty bland except for a quick bite from a cumin seed or large piece of onion. The garlic naan was great to lap up the curry sauces but was a little charred. The service is the main reason however for giving 3 stars. When I called I was asked to hold the line (no issue with that) but was left to hear banging, clanging and talking in the background. Hold music would be more professional. When I came to pick up my order I was reluctantly served by a young girl that either wasn't well trained or just lazy. She pretty much had to be coaxed to serve me.

I always get the Chicken Tikka Masala. It is to die for! It's classed, appropriately, as medium spiciness. My husband is a fan of the Butter Chicken, which is also pretty damn good. The naans really steal the show, and they're what put it over Raj's for me. We always get the Garlic + Cheese Combo Naan, and they are always cooked just perfectly, with the crispy edges and the gooey, cheesy middle. Honestly, I just can't say enough good things about this place. It's so good, we've made room for it in our weekly budget. Definitely give it a try!

AMBIANCE: Parking: Street parking so if there isn't a major event. There shouldn't be any issues. Seating: It's a shared space of seating in a shaded patio. Room for maybe about 30 people and 6 groups. Vibes: Off a strip of eateries and activities, it is an active place. The spot itself is pretty nice. It's like a mini food mall with 4 other eatery options. The stand has some pretty good appetizing pictures. It's good for a nice stop and go or even a late night meal. FOOD: Lamb & Chicken Kebab (Recommend) Delicious. A sizable portion of cooked savory meats and fresh greens. The bread held it all together relatively well and the yogurt sauces gave it some good flavor. Fries (Recommend) A great way to compliment your main meals! Savory fries with a nice crunch to them! CUSTOMER SERVICE: Great! Friendly people and quick with the service. TL; DR OVERALL: 4 Stars. Simple choices, reasonable prices, and delicious food! This may be a small sample size but this was delicious! There's something that Australian Kebabs hit differently than US, it might be the sauce or the meat. However when in Australia, do give their kebabs/gyros a try! TIPS: * Apparently these are go-to late-night meals but for me, great all around!

One of the best meals I've had in Australia…read more We had no idea what this place was like, we were just up at the north end of the Hunter Valley and saw it listed no our wine tourist map as a place to eat and phoned ahead for a reservation (it was a Sunday at 2:30pm and places were closing). We got in and I'm so glad we did. It's Italian villa style. The dining rooms have arches and iron chairs and Mediterranean accents. The outdoor patio is relaxed, covered and sunny. When we arrived people were playing bocce on the back lawn. My wife and I shared one of their large pot roasts, lamb in our case. It was absolutely delicious. We love food served like this, meat and veg and seasonings all slow-cooked together. It was very European and a perfect excuse for a long, slow lunch on a hot, sunny afternoon. The wine list had an extensive selection of Italian wines. For those worried about air miles they also have a selection of wines - by the glass and bottle - from a winery just down the road. The atmosphere was continental and perfect, with happy families, leisurely lunchers, and lots of wine. The service was exemplary, and all delivered with a smile. If you believe a great meal requires a great experience as well as great food, The Beltree is a spot worth seeking out.
