Description: Leaves & Fishes is now home to Lucky Duck Restaurant. From entering the lush, landscaped property and wandering down the path to the stylish, inside/outside restaurant overlooking a perch-filled pond, the restaurant is perfect for a relaxed, enjoyable lunch with fabulous food. Escape for a while in our luxury boathouse accommodation set over the lotus and lily pond. You will feel like you’ve been whisked away to another world.

Went here for my partners birthday, She had been waiting to go here for quite some time,
The staff welcomed us and were great throughout our visit. It was a bit wet this day but the over the water deck dining experience was very nice with the option for bistro blinds to keep weather out.
Meals:
Started with a shared toasted ciabatta loaf, local olive oil, apple balsamic, binnorie dairy fetta and house dukkah, this was just enough for the 4 of us.

The mains all looked great, I had the fish and chips and thought the dish was just right. comes with vinegar, lemon and Tartare. The fish was perfect. A Very nice fluffy batter. Only down side for me was the Price a little high for fish and chips!

The lamb rack and the Linguine looked great with no complaints.

Overall, loved the location, Staff and meals. Would go back again for sure!

The food was delicious and the service was attentive and friendly.

Every meal was well cooked and everyone in our table was happy with their meals.

The menu was quite Asian influenced and they use lots of home made pickles which I loved personally.

Great view and ambience.

Would I come back again? - definitely!

This is a definite must. Restaurant staff are all excellent, polite and friendly. Atmosphere is just awesome and the food is always amazing. I have been here 6 times and it is my favourite restaurant in the Hunter Valley. Children can feed the goldfish from the restaurant balcony overlooking the huge dam. Cannot beat the sun setting over the water while enjoying excellent food and wine.

We visited Leaves & Fishes on the back of a recommendation from the local Burncroft Guesthouse. Three adults and 1 baby made the short trip for lunch and simply loved the experience.

We first spotted the sign for Leaves & Fishes earlier in the day and were intrigued so decided to ask our hosts at the local guesthouse "Burncroft" where they would recommend. Immediately we were told a visit to L&F was a must so we jumped back in the car a few hours later and were not disappointed.

We arriving at L&F, to be honest, we were not sure what to expect but as soon as we stepped inside we were immediately transported back in time with the amazing interior fitout/design - colonial feel of the restaurant. The host/owner is a lovely lady and made us feel extremely welcome. Importantly the food/menu was spot on.

This is such a beautiful place to lunch or dine in the evening. The soulful music just added to the vibe. The team at L&F really have hit the mark with this place which cannot be recommended enough when in the Hunter Valley. We will be back and we always recommend a visit if you're in the area and in the need of a sanctuary. Magnificent.

It's a must if visiting the hunter valley, never have we eaten such awesome food, each dish from start to finish really satisfies the palates, the staff are so warm and welcoming, nothing is a hassle.

The atmosphere is relaxing and very enjoyable, best restaurant been to in a long time, being from Sydney everything is a rush rush all the time, my wife and I enjoyed kicking back enjoying our meal.
