    Beautiful old building you can feel the history. Got a seat by the fire which was cosy. Food was great. Highly recommend hot salami pizza, char grilled broccolini, crispy potatoes. Only issue was couldn’t use good food voucher as they don’t have a card scanner. No point calling good food as the service is terrible. I think restaurants should drop good food vouchers.

    We were greeted straight away as we walked in. Immediately was seated at our table. Got our drinks order in and then after our food order. Both came out super fast and everything was super delicious. Thank you The Epicurean for a nice dinner. We will be back! 😊

    Outstanding service as usual Kate and her team are amazing. The food is outstanding from the calamari to the pizza and the cauliflower salad. The roast potatoes are to die for.

    Second time here, my partner and i love this restaurant before a hot springs session once a month. The steak is fantastic, the service is very wholesome and warm, the venue is very warm inside (sometimes the fireplaces are on) and a good selection of wines. It’s our favourite little escape spot away from Melbourne. Food is at an amazing quality and standard !

    Lovely location for an indulgent Sunday Lunch in the last days of Winter. We were seated by the fireplaces which was cozy and the background music was relaxing. Drinks prices were reasonable.and the food was delicious, but the Prawn Ravioli was more like an Entree than a Main and expensive for 5 medium pieces of ravioli at $45. At that price, I think a small salad could have been included rather than having to pay extra for a rocket, pear and parmesan salad at around $20, also very tasty. We shared a Dessert, coconut ice-cream with berries and coulis which was very nice followed by 2 coffees. I was shocked by the bill of $240 for 2 main courses, 1 salad, 1 dessert, a couple of coffees and alcoholic drinks. Although the alcohol did account for $90 of the overall bill, the food and coffee bill for a light lunch was $150 for 2 people.
