Dark Horse Cafe, Wine & Produce

Second Visit and the Service is excellent and the food is awesome, great place for coffee breakfast or some lunch! The friendly staff make it a great experience.

Ordered the antipasto platter based on the menu description, but when it arrived it had more than was advertised; a lovely surprise from lovely staff. We've already recommended this cafe to family and friends.

Lots of seating options and space inside and out. The food and service was delightful. Fresh and delicious produce.

Friendly staff and decent menu. Great spot to grab a meal and the kids can hang out in the playground or on the old tractors.

Excellent Breakfast, great portions sizes. Have to have to try the massive amazing looking scones next time we're in the area

Brilliant location, brilliant food, brilliant service! What more could you ask for? Just a 40 min drive from Melbourne, nestled among the hills and lush greenery, this place offers sole great food options with super friendly staff. Highly recommended on its own or even as a pit stop enroute to some of the other destinations further on.

Wonderful food, lovely by the glass wine selection & great service. Always a pleasure for breakfast or lunch.

Great place to have breakfast or lunch. Nice way to getaway from the city.
Staff is friendly. Visit the reservoir nearby.

We sat out in the beautiful sunlit courtyard out the back with our dog. The staff were super accommodating and friendly but the eggs bennie is THE BEST! Definitely worth a stop off on your way out to the Yarra Valley.

This is a great place to visit for breakfast or lunch. This was previously the Watson's Creek cafe. The address is shown as Kangaroo Ground but is actually about 5km away in Watson's Creek. Really good food and value for money prices.

Service was very bad. We were the only people in the cafe and still had to wait over 15 mins before we were served.
Ordered a salad off their extremely small menue but was told we don't have any salad.
We had to ask twice for water.
Had to go and call a waiter to order our coffee
Won't be going back

This was our first visit but it won’t be the last
Everything pleases from the treed outlook, the outdoor area, awesome food, good coffee and the food delicacies for sale.
If I was really fussy, I would say that the table service could have been better

Great location, Smashed avo and Fries was amazing. Vegetarian Burger was yum never had that good vegetarian Burger ever. Excellent service, Super friendly staff, great coffee & Vegan Brownie. Thank you girls for making my unplanned & first visit marvellous.

Absolutely rubbish. There was no heating on and it was freezing cold. Service was slow and took 20 minutes to get our coffee. Not in a hurry to return.

Had stopped on my way home today for a coffee.
Must say the worst customer service I have ever received, will never stop here again.
Rubbish!
Also you need to update your signage, the antique shop has been closed for years.
Guess your just fishing for more suckers to stop.

Disinterested and unfriendly staff.bad tasting food

update re the restaurant's reply:
your reply is completely in keeping with your service. Rude and inconsiderate. Now you are accusing me of writing a bad review without having even dined at your restautant? I can update a screenshot from my bank app where the receipt for my payment to your restaurant can be viewed. Instead of accusing your customers of lying improve the horrible quality of food at your restaurant and train your staff to at least "smile" at the customers. I never lie in my reviews or write a review without having used a service. My other reviews where I have given 5 stars to most places I have been to can attest to this claim. I gave you a two because you desreved 2 stars. We were a party of 5 people and every single one of us was displeased with the food AND the service.

We ordered Smashed Avo and Eggs your way, the Food was amazing. Enjoyed the ambience and service. Will definitely come again

Just went for a coffee late morning, quite busy and popular early lunchtime Sunday.
Had a lovely chai latte. Friendly helpful staff

I picked up an amazing desert and a really nice coffee on my way through to Yarra Glen. Great service from the young woman who looked after me.

Very nice time here. We visited for lunch and it was very relaxed and great service. Lovely views and atmosphere
