Probably one of the best meals we’ve had in a long time. If Australia had Michelin stars, this place would have at least 2 stars I reckon!We were a little apprehensive when we booked the table because the Omakase-style menu means we don’t know what we’ll be getting.Our fears were unfounded.Chef David Wilcox is just plain amaaaazing! He shows great care and skill with his food. We had lamb that was so tender that he serves it with a butter knife!We were also not sure how much food we’d get with the meal, but we were absolutely stuffed by the end of it!Also shout out to wait staff Phil for his excellent service and passion for the food!Highly recommended!

What a treat. Set multi-course menu was divine, chef & staff were engaging and knowledgeable, food was locally sourced, interesting and universally well cooked. Bingo.

Had a fantastic experience dining here. Deliciously cured and creamed vegetables and perfectly done mussels and lamb on the table that day. Great atmosphere.

The Surly goat is everything you want from an intimate dinner venue. Beautiful layout and ambience, amazing food and great drink list! Staff are super friendly and know their stuff, both food and drinks. The food is top notch and best eaten as a share menu so you can experience everything they have to offer. All good was divine and I'd highly recommend

Faultless.From the minute we entered the dining room, greeted with the smell of a kitchen cooking up perfection, until we were bid goodbye with cafe recommendations in hand, we were in absolute heaven.The food here is stellar. Everything we ate sent us into fits of oh my god." Cocktails

Walking in the Surly Goat is always a highlight of a trip to Hepburn Spring; not only because of the professional and enthusiastically un-surly service that begins immediately upon arrival, but because you know you’re in for a great time. Consistency is king in hospitality, and the Goat has it in spades, continuing to exceed expectations each and every visit.The food is impressive without being pretentious, with the various bite-sized appetisers that kick things off almost as soon as you’re seated always as creative as they are delicious. Having visited with vegetarians and pescatarians, the staff and kitchen are very accommodating, creating alternative options that don’t feel like a compromise.The wine list is well curated, offering a broad – but not overwhelming – spectrum of local and international options. And if you do find yourself torn between gamay and grenache, you have an expert “glou-glou” guide in the cheerful and knowledgeable sommelier.The Surly Goat is a fantastic and unassuming gem that is as much a testament to the owners’ passion for hospitality (in the true sense of the word) as it is the quality of the regional, seasonal produce the ever-changing set menu highlights. If you’re staying in spa country – or even feel like a day trip – I strongly recommend grabbing the Goat by the horns.

Fun and tasty cuisine using fresh produce from the regional surrounds. The wine list is tops! Highly recommend Surly Goat for a long lunch.

A place to visit for dinner while in Daylesford. Allow yourself to be pleasantly surprised in the capable hands of the chef. Open up your palate to new flavour combinations. Lots of care and attention to the detail of food, service and atmosphere. Not including photo of menu, don't want to spoil the surprise.

Such an incredible experience!From the moment we entered the space we were swept into the embrace of such beautiful and attentive hosts, the smile never left my face.The food was innovative, complex in flavor and delicious my eyes widened with delight at every bite. The drinks list was extensive and interesting complimenting the creative flare of the dishes. The surly goat is one to rival some of the best high end restaurants I've attended across Victoria. From the atmosphere to the plate they've truly created some special
