1862 Wine Bar & Grill - Mount Gambier

I had a wonderful dining experience at this restaurant. The food was fantastic and the host was incredibly warm and friendly. She did a fantastic job of ensuring that customers were well taken care of and I felt very comfortable throughout my visit.

The staff was lovely and the setting was beautiful. The food was good and there was no discomfort, but the meals were lacking in excitement. They were presented nicely, but overall just average.

My wife and I shared the lobster thermidor, which we found to be incredibly delicious and highly recommend. The lobster meat was tender and juicy, and the accompanying salad was clearly prepared with care. Our 7-year-old son enjoyed the salt and pepper squid immensely. The only downside was the service - we had to wait to be seated despite having made a reservation, and there was a delay in taking our order. However, we still recommend the restaurant for its fantastic food, despite the service being a bit lacking.

There was no problem getting a table, the friendly staff was very helpful and efficient. Meals were really good and cheap. This is a good experience for the Steak lover.

Quite underwhelming unfortunately. Lovely wait staff but food was average. We ordered a 300g Scotch but it was no bigger than 200g. Salmon was cooked well but overpowered by the basil topping. Great flavour but soo much of the basil taking away from the perfectly cooked salmon. Risotto was very cheesy. For a mushroom risotto, it could have done with more mushroom flavour. I saw the seafood platter walk past to another table so I’ll be back to try that and the delicious Chardonnay I had!
