We have been to Bendooley a few times and it never fails to disappoint. Delicious food and wonderful atmosphere. Even our 2 yr old grandson was ecstatic running down the book aisles! Highly recommended.

Beautiful charming place with great food and wine (albeit a tad on the expensive side). Our server was excellent and attentive. Only letdown was that we had booked months ahead only to be seated right at the door entrance, behind where all the staff are welcoming guests. Luckily we were able to be moved, but thought this was an odd placement.

What a delightful place for lunch! The menu offered very good choices, the food was tasty and fresh and the service was excellent. We had a table near the blazing log fire, a feature that added to the friendly atmosphere. As a group of 8 we were served promptly and efficiently. Many thanks to Bendooley for such a pleasant lunch gathering.

Requested to move tables and it was no trouble at all. A birthday celebration and dessert came with a candle. The barramundi was superb!
