What Travellers Say
Reviews Summary
Mr. Mick Cellar Door and Kitchen offers a pleasant dining and wine tasting experience, particularly praised for its tapas and lively 'On The Green' events. While some find the food good rather than exceptional and note a carb-heavy menu, others rave about the magnificent flavors and generous portions. Service can be inconsistent, but the overall atmosphere and the highlight dishes make it a worthwhile visit for many.
"Well the weekend was freezing but all the more reason to head out and enjoy wineries 🍷.
We booked to go to Mr Mick. I am glad we did, it was busy.
It's a lovely place to sit, cold but it smelt good in there. So if you weren't hungry, you would be once you had smelt the food.
We ordered lots of plates. I hate tapas. This is obviously not really tapas food.
We decided to have our bread and arancini first. The arancini was good. Bread is so small. Onto the chicken, which was average- not exciting. My husband said the lamb was good. The carrots were ok but mash looked like it had come from a packet.
Chips ok. Salad very good, dressing was very good.
We choose the special for dessert. It was the highlight.
The food was good. But not fabulous.
Wine was ok. Again nothing to get excited about.
The service was average!
Three people working, well only one person really working on the floor. The amazing Miss V.
The other two were hopeless.
While Miss V spun around a million times, the other two were clumsy and inefficient.
Total bill $177-
Wine included.
Would I go again.
No.
Thank you for the experience 🍷"

"Enjoyed the wine tasting, friendly and welcoming. Had the chef’s selection for lunch, loved the pork belly and chicken. Felt a little overloaded with carb dishes though, focaccia followed by deep fried calamari (very filling), followed by arancini (filling) with veges on a bed of chick peas (omg full), then chicken on a bed of couscous with bowl of baked potatoes, then came the pork belly which was great but we were so full by then. Biggest disappointment aside from the carb overload was the aioli with the potato, was wishing this was sour cream."

"Well what a beautiful experience, we had been given a Mr.Mick voucher from our children and grandchildren.
What a great gift, from our phone booking to today when we arrived, greeted with a beautiful smile taken to our table, waited on lie we were royalty, and the food OMG well it was just magnificent, my wife and I had the two persons menu , it really was plenty certainly not skimping on anything our taste buds were seduced from the beginning to the end of the meal.
If this isn't on your bucket list then I suggest you put it on there.
Thanks to all the fantastic staff, you guys and gals sure know your jobs.
Will we return I can guarantee that for sure."
