Cheeky wine lunch with amazing food, scenery and friends. Definitely worth doing more than once ! - Excellent way to spend a cheeky lunch time and afternoon. Amazing food, and if you dont like a dish you can tell them in advance or on the day, and they will attempt to cater your needs. Damon was amazing also. Great wine recommendations.

Lovely meal and trip - Prior to borading we had a complmentary drink of our choice at Drysden Station. On the train we had a 5 course meal which was delicious. Drink prices are very reasonable onboard. The views are not spectacular but the experience excellent. There was a small technical issue during the trip where we lost power. It was on that stinking hot day of 40 degrees plus which did make it a bit uncomfortable but was rectified reasonably quickly.

A fun dining experience - Train moves slowly and stops a couple of times to stretch legs. Staff were friendly and helpful, food was lovely and well prepared and presented.

A bucket list must! - The Q train was an amazing experience, tantalising the taste buds along with an introduction to the inspiration of the dish, so you weren’t just eating the food, you were indulging in the wholeness of the experience and the wonderful local produce. The atmosphere and the service was impeccable, including the beautiful landscape of the journey to Queenscliff and return. Highly recommend it be put on everyone’s bucket list 🥰

Good day out - Pretty lovely half day experience, vibes great, food okay, staff exceptional, but for one ill-tempered person. Nevertheless, we enjoyed it!
