    Food was beautifully presented, generous and very delicious! The kithul pannacotta deserves a special mention as it was amazing!

    A hidden Hunter Valley gem. The food is full of flavour and well-presented. Dishes vary from truly spicy to very mild but all good that we tried. Good wine list as well.

    The food was delicious and flavourful. I had the scallops on the half shell (could have been a tad hotter) and the prawn curry (amazing!). We did feel that the service was a bit lacking in that it was hard to grab someone's attention and the food didn't always come together. However, we understand and appreciate that some regional areas are still struggling with staffing so the few staff on duty did a good job overall

    Amazing dinner at Oak & Vine. Highly recommend the half shell scallops and the blue swimmer crab. Lovely ambience and excellent service. Look forward to coming back.

    Best Sri Lankan food we ever ate in Australia! We even complimented the chef "the food was better than what we ate in Sri Lanka" Service was excellent, and waiting time for food was very reasonable and because it was our wedding anniversary dinner they decorated our table, I really liked the effort which is so rare to find these days!

    OpenTable registration had not reached the venue. Hence they didn’t even know it was a birthday dinner. Luckily, it wasn’t full and we were seated at a nice table. Apart from one male server, who was polite and charming and was the only one who attended to our needs, the others didn’t bother about us at all. Food was good but more suited to the western palate (mindful it was inspired cuisine) but an extra chilly would have got it closer. It was tasty and would have been fantastic if the dark winter night had not closed off the views. Not a bad idea experience but not a memorable one either.

    First time at Oak & Vine, for a sisters weekend away. Really enjoyed the food, relaxed ambience and the service all very good. A little expensive but value for money as good meal servings.
