New chef- new building- AND THEY ARE BACK!!!!
The setting was worth waiting for, roomy and vibrant with options to get platters in the tasting hall or sit down and have a meal in the restaurant. Featuring inside overlooking the vineyard or outside courtyard seating- it's just peaceful and relaxing. The new chef has kept the 'pub/restaurant' feel in the food but it's gone up a knotch in presentation and flavour balance. And the desserts (once not a great feature) have also improved. Highly recommend a visit- its' worth the out of the way journey

relaxed and friendly
We like Ekhidna for it's simple but tasty food, great environment and relaxed atmosphere.We were there on the 9th - it was packed due to the unexpected downpour but the staff did an amazing job of keeping it friendly and efficient. Loved the Salt and pepper squid which we have had twice now and loved both times.
