What Travellers Say
Reviews Summary
J.C. Le Roux Winery is celebrated for its delicious food and exceptional wine pairings, particularly the cheesecake and chocolate options. While the setting and culinary offerings are consistently praised, some visitors have experienced inconsistent service, with occasional delays and inattentiveness from staff. +1
"Can't fault the food, it was amazing. The service , however, was far from satisfactory!
Our waiter, Shane, seemed annoyed the entire time! We waited 30 minutes for him to come back for the drinks order. We placed our drinks and food at the same time to prevent any further delays. He Took another 30 minutes to just bring the 1 drink out! He never checked on us or asked if everything was okay. When he returned he just asked if my cousin wanted a take away box for her pizza. Mind you, there were only TWO of us at the table. The other huge tables who arrived after us received their orders before us.
So if you're looking for great food but possibly crappy service....this is your place."

"An interactive experience for groups of any size. The staff are pleasant and quite helpful. They offer indoor heating on cooler days. Can become a bit noisy when at capacity. The pairing options are well-portioned and rather delicious."
