Review Oasis Restuarant - Cowra

(3.5 stars) Set amongst the gum trees, the warm wooden dining room of The Quarry Restaurant in Cowra is popular with locals. The conservative menu—available as two-course ($60) or three-course ($75)—celebrates the produce of the Lachlan Valley region. Dotted with red grapes and walnuts, the twice-baked gruyere & blue cheese soufflé is the highlight of my meal. It outperforms a generous serve of dry-aged sirloin with sautéed potatoes, mushrooms and eschallots in red wine jus. A Cowra lamb shank braised in tomatoes and red wine on potato mash is simple but enjoyable. Local area wines, like the 2017 @alexderosnay Rośe ($35), are well-priced, though this exemplar was a fraction sweet for my liking. Overall, this restaurant is putting out competent bistro-style cuisine in a nice setting.

Situated just a few minutes from Cowra town centre lies this little gem. Featuring an array of tasty and refined dishes built around local produce, we enjoyed the juicy and perfectly-cooked Cowra lamb along with a few glasses of local cold climate wines. We dined in the outdoor garden setting rather than the wood fire-heated dining room as we had a four-legged fur friend accompanying us. We each had three-courses and can not recommend enough any of the six dishes we tried. We will definitely come back when we are next in Cowra.

On a road trip from Sydney... saw all the great reviews and we were really looking forward to a special and delicious evening. Unfortunately we were sadly disappointed. Let's begin with the positives... husband had prawn and chorizo linguine to start which he says was lovey. The wine was superb. The environment was welcoming and stylish. Now... the king prawn in panko breadcrumbs was really really poor. The prawns had been sliced in half, were mushy and tasteless. For mains we had the Cowra lamb rump and the lamb ragu. The lamb rump was tough and the ragu was not the delicious slow cooked melt in your mouth experience I was hoping for... both meals chewy. I am more than happy to pay a premium price for premium food in a classy atmosphere however this place does not deliver.

Lovely atmosphere - a bit out of the way to find at night but no problem with GPS. Food was lovely, and sensible size servings. (Plenty but not too much). Set prizes - all entrees $20, all mains $40, all desserts $16. Good wine range

My partner and I arrived without a booking for a Friday Lunch, after checking in via QR code for covid19, we were warmly welcomed and seated quickly. entrees, mains & desserts were cooked to perfection and plated beautifully, we asked for recommendations for wines to match our meals and were more then happy with the suggestions, with each wine complimenting our chosen dish. Entrees were the Pork Belly & Cheese Souffle which was decadent yet light and fluffy and full of flavour. Our mains were the Cowra Lamb Rumb & Chicken Surpreme which were both cooked to perfection, And Dessert we had the Banofee Pavalova & Milk Chocolate Mousse w/ Orange & Hazelnut Semifreddo as a chef myself, I can gladly recommend the Quarry to any Food & Wine lover living or visiting the Central West Region, providing a quality and service, rarely found anywhere, let alone in a country town such as Cowra.

Service, food, and wine, were excellent. Vegetarian options were few, but tasty. We enjoyed ourselves a lot.

Gorgeous setting, very cosy with lovely attentive service and delicious menu! Well worth a visit to Cowra and enjoy The Quarry

It's a fine dining restaurant in a vineyard. Probably it is the best in Cowra. Sincere service and good food. The dessert is delicious as well.
