A group of 5 of us (middle age) went to this restaurant on reading reviews and recommendations. The place was clean and the atmosphere was welcoming. The staff were also very helpful, polite and pleasant. Three of us ordered the fish of the day which was salmon. Unfortunately this is where the problem occurred. After being served quite small portions... More

My husband and I enjoyed a delightful lunch and fantastic service. The icing on the cake was for my husband to taste and discuss some local craft beers. We headed off to purchase beers on our way home. We will return.

We brought an international visitor to this restaurant. We were seated on a table near the window so the traffic noise was quite loud but you cannot blame the restaurant for this. The menu had some pretty good food options and the wine list was excellent. Service was friendly and non-pretentious. The meals were delicious. We ordered dessert but bizarrely... More

My wife and I had dinner with our son last Friday at Domaine. We have eaten here every 6 - 12 months and our experiences have always drawn us back. This time however, right from the manner of the guy taking my booking, I started to sense that they were out to delight me as a customer. ......and we were... More

This was food and service at its best - we were priviledged to try some new dishes - nicely presented - very tasteful - hot in heat and not one of us 5 could find a fault - the waiter was knowledgeable and that helped us choose our dishes - a very nice bottle of wine was suggested again by... More

Domaine seemed to lose it's standing a wee bit in the last few years, and seemed to drop off the list of the places to dine at. However good to see it is having a resurgence. We last dined here approx two to three years ago and were the only diners (mid week). and at that time I had a... More

Had a lovely family dinner for a special occasion. Ordered mains and desserts. The lamb was beautifully cooked - melted in your mouth. Fish of the day tasty snapper on homemade pasta. Yum. Duck was done to perfection as was the beef stack. Desserts were equally as nice. The only criticism might be service a bit slow with asking if... More
