Mietta's Review
The attention to detail is the first thing that strikes you on arrival here. Approach the restaurant via the large wine tasting room, which on quiet days appears enormously empty, but fills we're told in peak times. Tasteful polished timber, stone and glass all arranged in clean modern and classic lines suggesting these buildings will age well. The use of blondwood furnishings against a deep purple carpet, waitresses in black all give a nice classy feel. The size of the space is daunting but the illusion disappears with the intimate warmth of the staff. Diners will be struck by the value here. Great food at below $16 for mains, but add on for inflation as time goes by. Dine indoors in comfort or out on endless decks overlooking vineyards and the lake.

Gourmet Traveller 2005 Australian Restaurant Guide "Approaching the Watershed is practically a religious experience. You enter through a big tasting room with vaulted cathedral ceilings, walls of stone and soaring glass, and into a restaurant with similar design and the quintessential Margaret River vineyard view."
