I would highly recommend.
Heidi Bradshaw
• March 16, 2024Disappointed as the chef pulled out late in the day some emergency, he did send a replacement chef, fair enough
The service was good presentation good just very disappointed with the quality of the steak, really chewy , just felt didn’t measure up to the price paid.
Also all very fast , kind of felt they were in and out as fast as they could.

Absolutely amazing experience. Unfortunately Matei had an emergency but the two employees he sent were fantastic. They arrived on time, prepared everything fresh (it wasn’t all pre-prepared), they plated and served all 5 courses to 8 of us, tended to us in serving drinks, washed up and left the kitchen cleaner than it was before. Super friendly and professional…most importantly the food was AMAZING!

Matei prepared and served with Maria the 6 Course Italian menu for my 60th Birthday party at the Castle, Castle Eden.
Everybody thoroughly enjoyed the food and remarked on how good it was, particularly the pasta dish...
Well done Matei and Maria.
