"Our family had a luncheon booking for last Sunday 1 August. It was the day of my mother's 85th birthday and we were very impressed with the efficient service and excellent food. More than that, however, we were delighted that the staff all seemed to know that it was a special occasion and went to a lot of trouble to make my mother feel very special. The surprise dessert complete with birthday greetings and the French speaking server were absolutely the icing on a wonderful cake. Thank you so much, everyone of you associated with Flutes.

"Hi Diane,
We would like to thank you and your staff for a great evening function at Flutes Restaurant.
We had organized a conference for business partners primarily from Australia and New Zealand and a number from as far away as Singapore, USA and UK. We were keen to showcase the best the south western corner of our State has to offer!
The funciton at Flutes Restaurant was one of the culinary delights of the conference! The food and wine were both wonderful and the venue was exactly what we had hoped for. The evening was the subject of many complimentary comments.
On behalf of our many guests, we would like to thank you for a truly memorable evening.
Your sincerely
Alastair McMichael & Mark Bendotti"

We had the pleasure of dining Saturday 27th March. We were celebrating our best friend's 50th and our meals will always remain as part of the memories of a fantastic day.
The service was outstanding, very non invasive. As for all of our meals, outstanding. To the chefs I had the dream of having the taste plate of desserts, my description " morsels of heaven".
Thankyou

"Hi Diane
Well, we're back in Perth and had a wonderful time once again in MR.
I must say however, a trip to the SW wouldn't be complete without lunch and/or dinner at Flutes.
Our lunch was almost idyllic with the surroundings, regardless of the weather, and of course the great food and Brookland wine!
The lunch was the highlight of our short trip and is something we can relay to our friends.
Thanks again.
Kind regards

Sorry it's taken a while to send this thank you note. I was waiting on my photos. I wanted to enclose a few of my favourite shots taken in your beautiful gardens.
We can not thank you enough for the most amazing job you all did to make our wedding day so special and amazing. From the service to the food it could not have been faulted, not to mention the view with the full moon. All of our guests are still talking about the day, and I'm sure will still be for a long time to come. Glenn and I will never forget our special day and we have you to thank for being a part of it.

"Dear Diane
I hope this e-mail finds you well. I would just like to drop you a note in regard to our Wedding at Flutes on 21st February 2009.
Peter asked me half way through the evening if the day had been all I imagined it to be. My reply was I could never have hoped for a day as perfect as it had been.
I have very little doubt that you receive a constant flow of complementary comments from your clientele on a regular basis as your standard of service is without a doubt world class! But I would say that to Peter and I, Francois and his menu, the kitchen staff, the waiters and waitresses on the night and yourself for the effort in arranging the day made for us a totally special and perfect day, one that will live in our hearts for a very long time to come.
Thank you all so much.

"Hello
My Son and now daughter in law were recently married at Flutes in December 2008 and my Wife and I would like to thank you for the wonderful day and evening that we along with all our family and friends experienced. Your setting, staff, food and presentation for the wedding were all of the highest standard and we would like to thank you for the effort and attention to detail in all these areas.
As business owners in Albany employing many staff we are aware of the effort that goes into training and scheduling to have staff on hand when required particularly in the climate we saw in 2008 although 2009 may be a different story. Your staff on the night were great. We will certainly be recommending people to enjoy your facilities should the situation arise in the future.

Greetings
So sorry we are sending this card to you months after the event, but we just wanted to send you a HUGE THANK YOU for making our wedding luncheon on 3 May 2008 such a fantastic and memorable occasion.
We have enjoyed lunch at Flutes often (in fact every time we visit the South West), so it wasn't a hard decision for us to decide where to celebrate our wedding feast; both the food and the service were second to none and all our guests raved about, not only the food, but the whole experience.
We will be in Margaret River from 2 January to 9 January and are planning to have lunch at Flutes one day in the week with members of our family.
Again, thank you and all the very best to you all for a happy and healthy 2009.

We would like to express our sincerest thanks for making our wedding day better then we could have ever imagined. The setting was amazing, the service exceptional and the food.....WOW! There really are no words worthy of describing the food.
Special thanks to Renee for all your help and support in organising our big day. You made everything so easy and your willingness to go above and beyond your call of duty was most appreciated. It was comforting to know that the reception was in safe hands and we could just relax and enjoy the evening, knowing that all the little details were taken care of.
A big thankyou must also go to Francois and his culinary team. It is so true that the food at a wedding will live on in people's memories long after the bouquet is tossed. Your delectable food exceeded our expectations and our guests are still talking about how sensational it was.
Thank you from the bottom of our hearts. You truly made our day one we will remember forever."
