The whole experience was fantastic and seriously, was faultless. Sophie was amazing to deal with in planning; great communication, quick to respond and flexible when changes had to be made. I also really appreciated Sophie coming to say hi at the beginning of the day, was lovely to meet. Thank you! The actual day too was perfect, seriously I couldn’t fault anything! I also really wanted to recognise Nick for his service to our table during the day, what an asset he is to your winery; great natural balance of friendliness, professionalism and initiative! This was mentioned by many of the guests. A big thanks too to Wayne, his service too was amazing! All of my guests (and myself), agreed the food was beautiful, the venue relaxing and fun, a great day had by all! Thank you to your whole team for making my birthday celebrations so memorable, it was perfect!

Thanks so much for your quality food and hospitality and the wonderful staff you had onsite during our function on Friday. It was absolutely beautiful and everyone was very very happy with their food. If you could thank the chefs. I had the butchers cut, wow! It was unbelievable and maybe the best I've had!

Thank you, we thoroughly enjoyed ourselves The service was perfect, the setting was stunning and the food was delicious. In fact my cousin said it was one of the best meals she's had in a while...she had the teriyaki beef escalopes for main. We are definitely coming back and have already recommended you to friends who are visiting in May. Kind regards Virginia

Thank you. We had wonderful service, wine and food, and a beautiful venue! – it was a highlight of our SA tour. See you again next time!

The food was fantastic and we were amazed that for the amount of food we ordered that it all came out together (within 10 - 15 minutes but that worked perfectly for us). The bar staff were fabulous and the security man was really respectful (we had several young people with us). The venue is amazing and the water mists were a treat. We will definitely be back again in the future. Thank you for having us.

I would just like to thank the staff on the floor especially Izzy who served our table and did a wonderful job keeping everyone fed and watered. The wines were lovely and a few members of the family bought some from the cellar door. Thank you to the chef and kitchen staff, the food was outstanding and absolutely delicious. The tomato dish was superb I could eat that every day. Everything that came out was very well presented and tasted incredible together. The pizza's would have to be some of the best we have had (and we have a lot of pizza) I can't decide between the mushroom or the cauliflower pizza as my favourite. The simple salad that was served was perfectly dressed and a wonderful complement. We had more than enough to satisfy our hungry family. We all had a wonderful time and will most definitely be back again. Many Thanks

Well, I think it goes without saying that the Sidewood Restaurant is top-notch. The dishes we had, as a group of four, were just brilliant. Being a bit of a foodie, I was so impressed and absolutely enjoyed the thinking of the chef and his mates in the kitchen on their dishes. We did not have dessert, but the cheese platter was also very well presented and timed to give the cheese maximum flavour. Even the Chai Latte I had was very good, certainly compared to a range of other chai's I have had at other venues. Is this too much? Well, all I can say is that your staff in the kitchen deserve the accolades. The waiting staff also were very attentive and were very accommodating to our thoughts on what to have and when. A very good experience, and we will be back!

We wanted to reach out and say from the bottom of our hearts, thank you so so so much for our dinner on Saturday night. We can’t fault anything! The staff were amazing, we had the most incredible servers who were beyond helpful and didn’t complain even when our guests kept ordering espresso martini’s - trust me, I know how annoying this is haha. Every single person raved to us about the food and said just how amazing every single course was. It just kept getting better and better as the night went on! Thank you so much for fitting us in at the last minute and then putting up with me wanting to change the room, the menu and all of the dietaries within a week! We honestly had the most perfect end to our day with that dinner and the function room was so perfect for us and our guests. We will definitely be back to Sidewood for more delicious food and wine!
