Although we are yet to eat in. We have nothing bad at all re: the take away. The food is absolutely beautiful, as well as the service. We always eat from here at least twice a month.

Approximate cost: $15

Would not waste time or money. Tiny serves, and very expensive. As a last resort, go the take away from here. Don't have to face the dirty sour faced staff, and you get a bigger serve, and the rice isn't as expensive.... go figure!

Approximate cost: $20

OK so we had a bit of a rocky start. re: Rosie selling the business to Potters Receptions. At first we were disappointed, as alot of the contract was not being honored. Such as the wedding night accommodation, pre drinks for the bridal party in the cellar, use of the lake house for photo's etc. Apart from that, our main concern was the renovations they decided to commence a couple months prior to our wedding... When we met up with Potters shortly after they took over, their building was half decked, there were Tonka trucks everywhere, and it quite obviously looked under construction. This made me feel worse, to the point I started looking else where... Remembering I had already spent money on the invites with Riverlea printed, I decided to suck it up.
As the day neared, we kept doing drive buys and to be honest it was coming together quite quickly, the drive way lined with palm trees, the deck complete, the building painted, the lake house renovated and complete.
Ok so getting to the day, I could not of asked it to be anymore perfect. The staff were lovely, and extremely accommodating to the bridal party. They brought us drinks and canapé's out during photo's, they let us use the lake house which was stunning. The food was perfect. I am still receiving complements to this day about the food. Especially the lamb shanks! My score above is purely based on the day. To be honest they were absolutely fantastic, and even after the bad start, I would still recommend this venue. I believe once they re-open, this will definitely be one of the most stunning reception venues in Victoria.

Approximate cost: $100
