I absolutely love this place you wait maybe 15 minutes for your food and 3 minutes for the person to come over and the service is always lovely. But h…

Love going to this place as do several of my visitors. OK not the most high fulutin place but reasonable and food cooked fresh. Maybe I’m prejudiced as one of my daughters married here and we all had a great time. Not expensive.
We visited here while up the coast some time ago. The service was friendly, the menu was really cheap and simple – nothing amazing – and it was quite quiet upon our visit. I thought everything was fairly priced for what you got but overall I found the whole experience to be really dated. The interior needs a contemporary and fresh look, the art for sale needs to be better considered and laid out, and ultimately the place looks tired. Nothing memorable. The grounds themselves were beautiful to walk around. I enjoyed that above everything else. With a little love and a fresh menu this place could be amazing. No fault to the server who was very friendly.
I had high expeditions and they crashed. I had the beef burger on the 10 dollar lunch menu and it was a let down. The size of the burger was a disappointment. The salad was very big though! But halfway through the salad it was like eating a whole iceberg lettuce with a seed like dressing which was minimal. I had no idea where the drinks menu was or where you order the drinks. Never had one. It was a bit of a let down. Then there was a concert inside and it was like the staff closed the door on is when we were outside in the courtyard because we were too loud or something? My cousin had the 10 dollar chicken and rice and he said the rice was strange for the meal because it was didn’t go with anything and he received 2 chicken wings meanwhile his brother for 5? Rather inconsistent I must say.
Most enjoyable experience. $10 lunch menu offered good variety, good Gluten Free options, decent sized portions and plenty of flavour.Atmosphere in inside/outside area was relaxing and the team were really pleasant.Really glad we chose The Winemakers Daughter today, our first visit there.
My family have had lunch at the restaurant on many occassions and always recommend the $10 lunch menu, great value, good sized portion and delicious. Staff have always been friendly and helpful and looking forward to our next family lunch on sunday
I recently used the Winemakers Daughter for the changeover of the Lions Club of Waikanae. Mike and his team provided an excellent buffet meal for the occasion and it was well priced too. There was a good variety of food and the staff were excellent. Thanks for an enjoyable evening.Terry President Lions Club of Waikanae
Have been here a number of times as it’s a cetral point for family who are travelling from far and wide! Without exception, we have found the service to be insanely slow and the food is average (on a good day). My husband ordered the salmon at the last lunch visit and when it arrived, it had three small chunks for about $17. I complained and was told this was how this meal has been served for years and there had never been a complaint before. Sigh. The only positive is the covered seating area which is really nice. As a family though, we have all agreed we will never go back.
