The owner is rude and obnoxious and ruined our dinning experience. I would not eat at this resturant ever again. He swore at us and abused our children. It was the worst dinning experince of my life and ruined wat was to be my mothers 70th birthday celebration.   (Abused over lunch - September, 2010)

My Wife and I travel to the Hunter often and part of the trip is

the excitement of eating at Leaves & Fishes, ambience , service just 10/10 in top of tasty quality dishes, can not wait for the cottages to be completed....   (Sinisha - June, 2010)

Leaves & Fishes was the highlight of our stay in the Hunter Valley. Everything about this restaurant gets a 10/10.

So glad we chose to visit and we will definitely be back.   (M. English - August, 2009)

We just love Leaves and Fishes. We are making it a must do on our list of Hunter Valley 'places to eat'. We very much look forward to being able to bring new friends along each time someone suggests a trip to the valley. The food is always lovely regardless of what you decide on having (be sure to start simple and order the bread, feta and balsamic glaze...) but always leave a bit of room for dessert (which is difficult as the mains servings are most generous). The wine list, as you would expect, is well rounded. However - I think the 2 things that really stand out are its lovely surrounds and of course the service. Even though its usually packed to the rafters with eager patrons, you will always feel as though your the most special guests in the room. And that is what will keep us going back....   (January, 2008)
