    Top class food and attentive service. Tables spaced reasonably apart. Lighting could be less downlight, more lampshade. But overall 5/5, would come again.

    Nice food at a reasonable price in a great location at Hepburn Springs. Service was a bit hit and miss but due only to inexperience I thought. Both servers were very friendly. My steak although ordered medium rare was more medium. My partner wanted the home made gnocchi but with a simpler sauce than on the menu and the staff obliged by asking the kitchen to change it. So overall a good solid experience.

    What a wonderful dining experience we had. They never fail! I come down every year from Sydney to visit family and we always make sure we have a night at Rubens Hepburn. The food was amazing, the best fettuccine carbonara I have ever had and the donuts dessert was delicious. The local wine was also brilliant. Definitely a must do to put on your list!
