Visited Cafe Manuela for Sunday lunch. Warm friendly greeting and atmosphere.We both ordered the crispy skin salmon. When the meals arrived there was no crispy skin, actually there was no skin at all. We bought this to the attention of the wait staff and advised we ordered the dish for the crispy skin. We asked the staff member to speak to the chef. When paying the bill we asked what the chefâs response was, we were told he asked were we cranky. Is it so hard for a chef to cook to the menu. Iâm sure if the owner knew they would also be cranky.

My husband and I celebrated our anniversary at Panino. OMG! What a treat that was. He had the pork knuckle, what a different take on the san choy bow style with the lettuce cups and radish side dish. I had the duck and it was outstanding. The best Iâve had! The home made cumquat sauce (fruit from their garden) was divine.We barely fit in the creme brûlée but it was the perfect ending to our evening at Panino. Great atmosphere, candle lit tables and beautiful service. Thank you. We will return! Thank you for this wonderful review! It's always special to have certain dishes specifically reviewed and incredibly positive feedback for us all.Many thanks, we hope to see you next celebration or any time you're passing by!

We chose this restaurant for dinner based on a recommendation from our B&B and we were not disappointed. The table service was excellent - glasses filled and then topped up regularly with chilled water without a request. The menu had an excellent selection of Italian dishes, and it was really hard to choose! Food came quickly and the wine menu had a good, though not extensive, list of wines by the glass or bottle. We would certainly return here to eat when next in Pokolbin.

I ordered the ricotta ravioli for my main dish which cost $28. When the pasta arrived it contained 8 small pieces of ravioli. When i questioned the waitstaff as to if it was a main meal I was told yes it was and I replied, well it's very small. The waitstaff said they would pass that on to the chef, however no one came to our table to speak to us and address the complaint. I was so hungry I went to Coles afterwards to buy more food.Dear Christine,Unfortunately the waitress you approached is a new casual and maybe didnât put to much importance on your request, however I was the one that served your daughterâs plain penne with the sauce and Parmesan on the side, I was floating around most night, if you would have attracted my attention I would have address you concern.By the way your total bill for the three of you was a riveting $102.00 inclusive of drink.It would have been quicker for you to order another dish than to drive to 20 kilometres.The portion of ravioli has been like that since I started to make them, and in my opinion is more than generous, my Mum wasnât has generous and she only used to dish out 4 of them.Maybe you should come back in February when Iâm having a price review.I was tempted to put something about the multinational company that you mentioned, but I will let the readers imagine it.
