The Canberra Wine House - Kaleen

The restaurant has a good concept, as Canberra has some fantastic wines. However, there are a few things that need to be improved. The beer glasses should be chilled, and the espresso martini was disappointing with bitter coffee that lacked depth and wasn't cold enough. On the bright side, the cheese board was excellent.

We visited a function here for my brother in 50. Birthday. We had a certain section for the function that worked really well so that people stroll around and talk to others without climbing over people to do it. The selection of wine, beer and non-alcoholic drinks was good and the finger foods were delicious. The service was great, but it became somewhat slower towards the end of the night. The only real criticism I have is that she closed too early at 10:00. We wanted more!

Hey, definitely give the wines a try at this restaurant, but I wouldn't recommend purchasing a bottle. We ordered a lovely Chardonnay and later discovered that it was $20 cheaper at David Jones. It seems they are overcharging for their wines, which may explain why the restaurant is consistently empty whenever we visit. Not worth the expense!

A really sweet, stylish little place that offers Canberra wines at a reasonable price. We had a generous dish of local olives and a cheese plate for two, both at reasonable prices. I happened to get through, took some Interstate visitors and now it will be on every visitor's 'must-visit' list. It needs more advertising!

While we had some difficulty finding the restaurant (not realizing that you had to go through the Tradies Club to access it), it turned out to be a pleasant spot for a drink once we arrived. There were plenty of delightful wines and cocktails to choose from, as well as visually appealing dishes for sharing. The setting was quirky, with a Melbourne tram in the forecourt. We would definitely return.
