    Casual Fine Dining


    “Loved our casual yet fine dining lunch. Food and wine should always be paired and Epicurean does a fine job at this. The wine available is curated from small wineries from the southern wine regions of Australia. As an international visitor I enjoy trying the small business wineries and restaurants. We had a leisurely meal starting out with the special for the day of prawns with a glass of bubbly. Then moving on to a classic platter with a few different glasses of wine that my husband and I shared as we sampled all that was offered. One platter was plenty for the two of us.”
