The whole experience was memorable. The service was excellent and the food was unusual and well presented. Sitting under an umbrella out on the terrace looking out over the roses to acres of grapevines and the distant Yarra Ranges made me feel as if I was in Italy. Almost perfect!

This was the second time eating at the club, the first time the Sunday Lamb roast was excellent but this time the meat was dry and tuff the vegetables were raw very disappointing but that will deter us from going back my husband and I became members. Will try other meals from the menu our guests had the fish and pasta which they thoroughly enjoyed so I hope it was a one off for us
