About the restaurant

Passion for food and love of all things Italian is what inspired Basil & Vine Café.
The Fargnoli family believe food is central to our Italian way of life and large family meals are customary in our household - Meals are relaxed affairs enjoying each other’s company and the sense of community.
Traditionally Italian dishes are made with simple ingredients that can be made or procured inexpensively such as pasta, bread, cheese, olive oil and tomatoes. Italian cuisine is all about using quality ingredients well and not so much about fancy cooking techniques.

The Seafood platter is our favourite and the steaks are cooked to perfection and accompanied by great sauces and sides. They have a great grazing platter for 4 or 6 people to start off the meal. The view from the balcony overlooks the beach . The staff are friendly and the ambience is good. The paid Parking is tight on the weekends so come early.

Arriving was greeted by friendly lady. Food was average and chicken wasn’t cooked properly. The prices for food is high considering the food is average and undercooked. Some staff had sour looks on their faces. Be friendly and welcoming. The chef was most put out that I asked for the chicken to be cooked a little more. He should have said ‘of course, no problem, I’m so sorry’ didn’t say a word. We love coming there and the atmosphere. Just needs a work with customer friendliness and GET A DENCENT CHEF.

So as you wander through the Garden Centre in the morning, you may well be eating from its bounty a little later in the day. Because we grow our produce, our menu changes with the seasons. The kitchen garden team chat daily with our chefs to make plans and sow the seeds, and when those fruits and vegetables are at their seasonal best, that’s what you’ll find on our menu. You can also take a piece of Mayfield home with you. Choose from our very own delicious jams, chutneys and oils along with other local merchandise. If food is the way to someone’s heart, then you’re going to fall head-over-heels for our deliciousness. Our mouths are watering just thinking about it!

Meeting friends for lunch and it was a great experience with lovely food and a perfect location. Wait staff were all fun and helpful. Small but interesting menu catered for all our tastes. Would have liked a jug of water rather than ‘help yourself’ tap but that’s a minor point.

Overall, friendly service and lovely ambiance. There were two things that left us disappointed. The first, when I was making the reservation it specifically asked ‘are you celebrating anything with us?’. Normally I wouldn’t write anything in the notes, but it specifically asked so I wrote that we were celebrating our 9th wedding anniversary. At no point during our experience at Tuscan Terrance (other than during the hotel check in portion hours before our dinner reservation) was it mentioned, either by the host that sat us or our server. Why ask if you’re not going to do anything with the information. We were not expecting anything free, just a simple “congratulations”. The second, I ordered my steak medium rare and it came out medium well at best. I waited 5 minutes for our server to reappear and the next time we saw her was almost 30 minutes later when she came to clear our plates. I ate the steak (which was over cooked and thus bland) purely because I didn’t not want to be the crazy lady rushing across the restaurant to find someone. At no point in our entire dining experience were we actually asked how our food was. As I said, overall, friendly service, however it is missing a few elements that make it truly great dining.

Overall a good experience. Worth being clear if you’re ready to order when you arrive, we went up to the counter after half an hour of waiting and were told to wait for table service. Staff were otherwise lovely and food was great. Try get a seat in the shade on a sunny day.
