Restaurants near Mt Warning Forest Hideaway

First time visiting on the recommendation of a friend and we were super impressed! Very cool and moody interior, actually comfortable chairs, gorgeous wine closet and really cool to see the chefs working through the window while we sat and chatted. Alberto was our waiter and he was exceptional. Sweet, charming, explained the greatest hits of the menu and ensured my allergy was on the books and catered for. He wished my partner a happy birthday, was witty and hilarious and worked incredibly hard - as we could see him running around to all his other tables with the same level of care and enthusiasm. Food was next level. My partner got the tasting plate of steaks and was impressed by each and every one. The mushrooms and potato sides were to die for. Cocktails were delicious - summer breeze and purple rain were our poison. And to top it all off - the hot fudge brownie was so decadent and impressive. Alberto even brought out a plate with chocolate writing for my partners birthday with his running joke of it being everyone’s 21st if they were celebrating a birthday. All in all - so glad to have had such a wonderful experience.

Tough to find- almost gave up but so glad we didn’t. Trendy, packed excellent restaurant hidden behind a red lamp and a barn door in a relatively quiet part of town. Food was all excellent from the sushi to the steak special (tomahawk). Felt like an upscale locals place.

You cannot go through life with out experiencing this restaurant. The food is outstanding, fresh with mouth watering flavours I couldn't get enough of. The wait staff are excellent, very attentive & seemed to be always there when we needed them without hovering. Wine selection is great & perfectly accompanied the food.

Having travelled around Aus for the last 4 weeks and eaten in some top restaurants this was by far the best we have experienced. The food was top class, the surroundings were sublime and the service was second to none. I thoroughly recommend a visit to Ricky’s.

Crocodile bites were so good!! We also loved the games of corn-hole and quoits that were free to play. We did the gin tasting and were so impressed with the berry ink gin that we just had to buy a bottle. If we’re down in the Tweed Valley again, we’ll be back!
