The Gates Restaurant

Lovely experience, beautiful degustation, excellent matching wines!

Food was amazing, staff were even better

Food was really good, bigger than your average 3 course meal sizes. Lost a point for my pork belly having no crunch and another point for not cooking my steak as I ordered. However, the error was easily attended to, and the chef provided another complimentary truffle mashed potatoes (side) as their apologies. I’m a lover of dessert and I loved how big the dessert was. The bombe Alaska was so satisfying and I was very full afterwards! Family who dined with us were equally as full and really enjoyed their dinner. A truly great night out with family, made all the better by great food and service. Thank you for a great night! Will definitely recommend this place to others!

We came here today for my daughters 18th birthday lunch and all the food was so delicious from the sour dough through to dessert, the aged rib eye was my favourite! Service was fantastic and interactive also he was very knowledgeable explaining the dry aged process. Sooooo full!

Amazing food I did the degustation and all the courses were very tasty and great flavour combinations. I did the pair wines as well. 2 of the 5 courses wines were spot on paired, personally I found it really hard to match anything to the young semillions but that was just my palette

Excellent food and service. Next time will book for the inside room next to lovely open fire. Much quieter than outside in the tiled area (mainly due to reasonably boisterous group of 6). But first class food and service. Well done.

We went for my partner’s birthday. We were both treated like VIPs. Everything was exquisite. We will definitely recommend and will be back!

The food was great. We had the oysters & pork bell entrees. The shared rib eye on the bone, however it was sliced which was great and easy to eat. Desert was also delicious. We took our toddler, the kids meal was great and good value for the serving. The staff were very kind and Accommodating with daughter and were playful and chatted to her.

Amazing food and outstanding service. We enjoyed everything here! Highly recommend any of the steaks and the gnocchi! The wine selection was extensive and they paired well with the food. We would definitely come back here!

Lovely food and seamless service. One of the best meals we had in the Hunter Valley!

The staff were wonderful and the courtesy bus is a fantastic idea after everyone has been wine tasting in the Hunter all day meaning no one has to drive. Food was delish!

Best night out in a long time! The 7 course degustation menu with wine pairing was absolutely mouthwatering! The staff were great, very friendly & informative in relation to the wine pairings & our driver for the evening was also great! Would definitely eat there again!

Lovely restaurant in a picturesque setting. The service are attentive without being smothering. The starters are great to share, as are the meat mains.

Great find in what was a busy weekend in the Hunter. The wait service were very friendly and knowledgeable Food was well presented and tasted great. Only grip was the chips were cooked using frozen product. Why why why cant good end restaurants take that little extra step and prepare from fresh potatoes!!!! If it takes longer charge an extra few dollars but the results will be amazing

First off the staff are incredibly friendly, bubbly and helpful. Stunning environment, sophisticated and classy but feels like home! My fiancé and I love this winery but also we LOVE to dine at this incredible restaurant, 20/10 stars for Leo Gate !! You want a great dinner or lunch look no further

The service is exceptional, John is Knowledgeable friendly and went out of the way to make sure the kids were looked after. The food looked and tasted amazing! We will be definitely returning.

Lovely restaurant with nice views. The service from our waitress and knowledge of the menu and wines was great. However my daughter and I both ordered the kingfish and this was overcooked.

Fantastic restaurant, even with a name change they still have outstanding food and wine, with great staff who are happy to make your occasion special. Thank you for another beautiful meal.

Lovely restaurant we will be returning next time that we are in the Hunter

Come for the Dry aged beef.
