Staff were brilliant and really lovely. They didn’t have our booking when we got there but they sorted it out really quickly. Wine was amazing as well. The food did take nearly 2 hours to come and was really bad. The chicken dish was absolutely awful. The pasta was tasty but served with unopened mussels which is not acceptable. The girls were absolutely gorgeous thank you for being so lovely and helpful. We would defiantly never go back until the menu changed. Regards Olivia

The tapas plates were very tasty, especially the prawn dumplings. My Pinot Gris wasn't very cold. I asked for ice, which I received, but thought I may have been offered another. The staff were helpful and friendly.

We had a lovely lunch and the lady who served us was very friendly. The only (very little) thing was that we were a bit cold! We were the first to arrive so maybe it would be a good idea to turn the heating on a bit sooner. Otherwise fantastic!

The food was good, but overpriced and a bit slow! The interior was great, but more attention to the windows is required. The service staff were terrific. In spite of the comments it’s a great venue and we will be back. Special mention of the Irish lady, Aaron absolute delight.

We were pleasantly surprised to find such a natural environment and enjoyed a very pleasant afternoon out on the veranda area. The staff were welcoming and despite their lack of staff they were pleasant and accommodating. We were a little disappointed at the limited menu, BUT understood the situation due to circumstances beyond their control.

I love the vibe there. I love that children can enjoy themselves there exploring the beautiful grounds and playing in the cubby house. I appreciated that the tables weren’t crowded all together. We could converse and nit be drowned out by other patrons. I loved that that management accommodated my huge birthday cake and didn’t charge to cut it etc . Staff all friendly. Would go again. But unfortunately I found the food disappointing, for example soggy pizzas.

Really enjoyed ourselves, so nice taking my girls out to lunch. Was a little noisy due to being seated next to a very large group, but did not really worry us too much. Food was lovely, service excellent with really friendly staff. Can't wait to come back in the summertime and enjoy the outside experience.

Went for mothers day lunch. There was a MD menu including a small tapas selection and a few mains. We received complimentary bubbly on arrival which was very good. I was originally going to order more wine but our first glass was more potent than I'd expected and I was driving. We ordered tapas to share, the Prawn dumpling in particular were gorgeous. For the main i ordered a type of chicken rissole in mushroom and turmeric cream sauce. Also lovely and light enough that I appreciated having begun with starters. Our server was under age so didn't have any drinks knowledge, which was a bit weird for a winery, But the service was good overall. Will definitely go again, this time on a non holiday to try the regular menu.

We had a lovely time however as it is a nice venue and staff are pleasant. It did however take 1 hour before any food came out. It is also disappointing you have to order a main meal 24 hours in advance. I had invited friends from Melbourne and we were not aware of this . We made do with the small plates but would have been good to order a main.

We thought as a table of 4 the food was fabulous and the wine and service was great. The only criticism would be the noise level of the hen's party but overall we really enjoyed our lunch.

The experience of Dromana Estate was very positive. It had great charm and ambience. The only areas of improvement would be to add a little more to the menu. It was a bit restricting and the service was a little slow. Our dishes took ages to be cleared. That said we all had a wonderful time. The food was delicious and so was the wine

While the food provided was fine, the menu is very limited and the dishes offered don’t work that well together. For instance, crumbed prawns, spring roles and prawn dumplings with Italian style meatballs in tomato sauce but no pasta, rice or bread to go with the tomato sauce. The service was ok but the impression was that they were only partially open or didn’t really expect too many people even at this busy time of year.

Our only comment is that our starter and share plates came at the same time - so some wasn’t warm by the time we got to it - otherwise a nice lunch
