What a wonderful dining experience our group had yesterday!! The food and staff were exceptional to say the least - not to mention the spectacular views. I would highly recommend Leogate Estate Wines to anyone for a superb meal.
Our favourite place in the vineyards. We have lunch there every time we go. Amazing food, gorgeous views, beautiful building, friendly staff and best of all picked up a dozen 3 vat wines and saved 160.00!! Love this place you have to try it.
We did a walk in hoping they would take us (2adults, 2kids) in as it was late about 2+pm. They graciously welcomed us in and told us to take a seat.
Kids had colouring material and we had a lovely chat with the waiter.
We started with warm bread and butter. The 2 kids devoured everything within mins. Had to shamelessly ask for another serving for us and they obliged with a warm smile!
We ordered the Grass Fed Chateaubriand 600g (steak for 2). It was truly amazing! Steak was cooked to perfection and it was mouthwatering. Kids gobbled up their share of steak within mins, true testament of how delicious it was - without any sauce for the kids!
Dessert was a lovely way to end our meal.
Thank you to the warm hearted and smiley staff there. Will definitely be back again!

I can’t understand how this restaurant has had reviews lower than 4 stars. Must be personality clashes or something.
For me this restaurant delivered a true 5/5 for the quality of their food.
The pork belly starter was phenomenal.
The chateaubriand and eye fillet they served up were absolutely delicious.
The desserts were insane, in a very good way.
The side dish, hardly ever mentioned in reviews, completely astonishing. Pumpkin covered in chilli and feta and I think some glaze perhaps? Not sure, but it was the best side dish I’ve ever had.
(I’ve been to restaurants in over 40 countries so this is saying a lot)
The service was pretty friendly. They went out of their way to explain the menu and different options for us.
The grounds look really nice but where we sat in the restaurant was a let down on the whole experience, hence the lost star. Pretty bland and boring, had us wishing we were sitting elsewhere.
Had to pay $150 to book a table beforehand (correct me if I’m wrong as can’t remember the total). I think this is a bit of a stretch and sets expectations a bit high considering what we got as a table.
All in all, for my experience, I’d rate this restaurant a 4.2/5.
Beautiful lunch to celebrate our 28th Wedding Anniversary. Thanks for the beautiful food especially the steak and dessert Bombay Alaska. Nice bottle of your 2021 Semillon. Great views of the mountains and vineyards. Top afternoon.
We recently visited this restaurant from Sydney as a last minute booking, and as vegetarians we weren't sure what was in stall, but all I can say is our experience of the service, food, flavours and value was 5 stars. All vegetarian options were delicious I especially loved the caramel-miso pumpkin, the ricotta and pumpkin pasta, the blue cheese and pear salad and both deserts were the best we've had. Very talented chefs in the kitchen and very accommodating waiters and waitresses. Overall a very positive experience for our first visit and we will be back for more.
Our first time here and boy was it worth it . What a fantastic meal . The staff were fantastic and John our host was a laugh and really made it a even better experience . This really is fine dining . All the extras between meals . That Chateaubriand just melted in your mouth . Didn't bother with more photos as was just really enjoying the meal . If you are in the Hunter 100 % do your self a favor and have a meal or your special dinner here . You wont be disappointed .They have kids meals and even our 6 yr old got a fruit juice in a champagne glass on entry . My biggest regret was that we didn't get a better wine to really top the experience . On this trip we ate at Eremo , Botanica , Hunters quarter , Yellow billy and the Gates . The Gates and Eremo were our faves . See you in a few months when we are back .
Flying in via helicopter being greeted with a glass of bubbly was simply an amazing experience!!! Great company, great wine 🍷 and one of the best steaks 🥩 I’ve ever had made it a very memorable day!! Also absolutely wonderful staff!!! They treated us like royalty 👸!! 😀😀
