We celebrated my birthday at Levantine Hill Winery for a delicious lunch. Instead of doing the…read morefixed menu, we just ordered what we wanted off the regular menu. Pricey dishes but they were delicious. Another beautiful winery and a very friendly staff. I tried their red wines and they weren't as full bodied and flavorful as the California wines that I'm used to. Our waiter was so nice and went to consult with their sommelier to find an estate syrah that was close to the wines I like. The winery gifted us a bottle of their 2017 Estate Pinot Noir each as birthday gifts. Whoa!!! We were just expecting a complimentary dessert so we were floored!

We will make sure not to fall for this over priced and under serviced establishment again.

I have to start by saying that a great plus for this place is the location. It's close to…read moreMelbourne, surrounded by vineyards and beautiful countryside. The restaurant is in a beautiful house, and isn't too big, so it doesn't feel crowded or noisy. The decoration is simple and has a homely feel to it. We were a group of ten people. The staff was very welcoming, friendly and accommodating. They suggested getting an assortment of entrées to share, which was a good idea as we got to sample a good part of the menu. We did the same for desserts. The food was delicious and original, as some dishes offered a interesting mix of flavors (for example, the menu comprised an omelet with melon and mint and a curry with watermelon). Overall, I think everyone enjoyed their food. The food was tasty, flavory and fresh. A lot of the vegetables and herbs come from the restaurant's garden, which you can take a walk in after eating or between courses while enjoying the scenery. The bread was homemade and really good (and that means a lot coming from a French person!). As for drinks, we had white wine and red wine, both of which were really good. This is a nice place to go to if you want to have nice and out of the ordinary quality food and local wine and escape the city for the day.

But compared to eg neighbouring betoli?? my opinion only. the salmon was awesome but the choice of pickled cucumber I would question. Understand the chefs intention and know where his/she's going w/ this but it was wrong! Why not try using finger lime on something else basic like sweet potatoes. The steak although tasted great came out medium instead of medium rare. Won't hold that against them. Still went down the same way besides that looooved it! Oh almost forgot the entrees we had!! Mediterranean Mezze w/ spicy olives and dip! Pretty darn gd! Loved the spicy olives. Wasn't too keen on the comin fused nuts. The asparagus with churos n sweat potatoe! Equilateral gd. Asparagus was grilled in olive oil and had that charred taste! Yum! Anyway time for a Nani nap now after a very relaxing drive into the valley n back w/ a full stomach. Happy yelping y'all!!
