Guest sentiment
A snapshot of what local diners frequently mention about this location.
"Lovely place. We got this board for 2 and the wine tasting, everything was great. Really easy to find. Tasty wines and good prices. The person who served was very knowledgeable, explained each wine well and answered our questions. I certainly recommend it."
"What a gorgeous place. Greeted by a warm welcome, we were asked what we would like to do. We chose a wine tasting plater for 1 (enough for 2) and a smaller platter, no tasting. Our friends chose 2 wines, and my husband had a beer. From the minute we sat down, we were treated to luxury and just fabulous service. Each of the wines tasted was beautifully described. Every single person who served us was not only very knowledgeable but also happy to chat, making us all feel really welcome. The platters were just delicious and all from locally sourced produce. 100% recommend."
"The food here was delicious. The only reason I didn't give this place 5 stars is due to the long 1 hr wait for our food to come out. Other than that, service was friendly & attentive. Always topping up our water etc. Lovely place for lunch. But book a table in advance! Or be prepared to wait for one."
"The wines were absolutely 5 stars and were the best wines of our trip. Unfortunately, despite having a booking they seemed like they were not expecting us, and we were all made to do our wine tasting while standing at the bar and felt a bit rushed. Despite this the woman doing our tasting was absolutely fantastic and was extremely passionate about the wines. The white liquor was especially delicious. The big barrels storing the wines were super cool and the wine labels were beautiful."
"Awesome restaurant! Firstly, Ballandean wine is really great and there is only a limited mark up on these wines on the Barrelroom Restaurant menu. We choose the Merlot, which has to be one of the best examples of this type. For entree both myself and my partner had the mushroom soup, which was really exceptional. We also had the freshly made sour dough, which was also great. For mains, we had the prawn tagliatelle and the mushroom tortellini. Both were exceptional and come recommended. For dessert we had the Panna Cotta, which was also great. This has to be the best restaurant in the region!"
"Great fine dining in rural area where you wouldn't expect to find place so fantastic like this restaurant. The food is delicious. I loved our sheep and venison meat as well as great pavlova with granita. I'm not sure if granita was made of fresh strawberry or the syrup because was tasting a bit 'fake' but this is the only little thing that I can pick to criticised. Everything else was just fantastic, together with great service, the girl who served us was very knowledgeable and explained the philosophy of the restaurant which support local farmers. If you like red wine, you must try Ballandean Estate Saperavi which is my favourite wine from the winery. You can buy it also in the cellar door that is right next to, however goes well with the Barrelroom and Larder food ;)"
"Great food and wine along with a lovely ambience. This was our first time dining here and it didn’t disappoint. With a delicious duck breast perfectly cooked and a beautiful seafood pasta leaving you wanting more. We look forward to our next visit. Yum."
"This was a great meal. It has a stellar reputation and it really does deserve it. The food was very high quality and tasted absolutely divine. They were obviously short staffed in terms of serving staff when we visited with only two on the floor of the restaurant and yet their service was quick and responsive, way better than most restaurants who have many more staff. Do come and enjoy a wonderful meal."
