This was a great place to eat- very atmospheric and great food. I had the pork belly which was delicious, and the tiramisu which was a bit too creamy,…

If it was out of 10, it would be a 7. A 3 just doesnt seem right, even though it’s out of 5. I have only been here for breakfast on the weekend twice, so my review is based on those experiences. The service has always been fantastic and friendly. No real atmosphere as such on my visits but I could imagine on a busy night with the lights on it would be a cosy cabin like feel. The breakfasts I have had are good. Good meaning you’re very happy with your meal but not blown away. Although the mushrooms were delish. The breakfast menu is very basic and With the amount of competition out there nowadays, some are generating some very exciting meals. Will return one night for dinner for sure
First impression was that we may have come in through the wrong door. Photos on the website flatter the actual setting. The meal was good. The service fell far short of what could be expected based on the prices.
After seeing a sign while driving past saying under new management we thought we would give this place another try. Walk in and not even greeted by the 2 staff at the counter. Decided to sit outside. After 10 minutes of waiting for service with no luck we decided to go up to the counter to order. Table needed a good clean (with crumbs stuck in the corners of the table for goodness knows how long). Food below average.. asked for poached eggs with my breakfast and received fried! Cold baked beans with the breakfast to top it all off.
Been going to the Wine Box for more than a decade. Had dinner in Feb 2019. The new owners are wonderful. Atmosphere still casual and eclectic. Steak is exceptional. Fresh vegetables. Big portions. Very tasty. Desserts are brilliant. One of the best places in North Shore!
Nice local menu. Cozy & comfy local atmosphere and most of time- friendly staff. Its quite far from the city but always pleasant to visit on a quite day time! ( or even for dinner!!)
Service was pleasant and friendly but we thought the food we ordered was pretty pedestrian and on the expensive side. The fish of the day was a reasonably sized piece of steamed Kingfish. It was accompanied by mashed potato and steamed brocolli, cauliflower, beans and carrots. Nicely cooked but the flavour was bland. The other dish we ordered was the mussels in a light slightly buttery broth. Again it was bland and one of the mussels had a broken shell and was clearly off. It should not have been served as it had a foul taste. We felt that charging over $30 per dish was too much. We visited last year and they had a better menu with kangaroo, ostrich and venison and other more exciting dishes but are no longer available.
Been here a couple of times the staff are lovely and always very prompt and ensuring you have a good meal. Its just a shame there menu doesnt match what you get and is often just simply not what they say it is.
