Lamonts Winery Restaurant for lunch 4 stars

The feel:

This place is busy which is nice. There is no clear direction as to where to go to get a table. What is wrong with a place that it can't have a "please wait here to be seated" sign? A lot of people that arrived and where obviously confused about this. Staff are initially a little sooty, which is always hard to take in your wait staff, although they did warm up as the service continued and they are obviously busy. The tables under a roof and under the trees are cool, but no views of the surroundings, views are always nice.

The food:

Tasty and simple, we had the squid, chicken, olives and bread & oilive oil, which was plenty for lunch for us. (The menu suggests that 3 dishes equal 1 main course for us this is not true).


The fulfillment:

Service is fast and efficient, no surprises no nonsense. They are busy and that shows in the rebrevity but not in the overall level of service.

The wine tasting is to close the restaurant, its busy and noisy and seems like it is used by people who are waiting to eat. This does not facilitate the tasting process.

The wines are excellent in general, the family reserve and ssb especially so. Note wines are cheaper off the web site than it is at the vineyard.

The final word:

Nice place, we will be back, once we have tried some of the other places
