    The quality of the food is very good. The portions of the mains are small, for that it is too expensive

    Overall the family sharing option is really good value, and the food was scrumptious, no fault there. However the service was extremely poor. We waited over 15min for someone to offer us drinks (even though we were waiting for another person, drinks could have been offered sooner). The food arrived in parts (potato bake came when we were 95% done with our lunch), we received no serving spoons, no sharp knife to cut the lamb roast, the overall experience was poor.

    Had an amazing afternoon at Benguela Cove Wine Estate. The lunch at Moody Lagoon was amazing and we were recommended a lovely wine to go with our meal. The service and location is amazing!
