  Super professional service. Table service was excellent. Food was lovely, enjoy trying something new each time. Coffee was very bitter, not like the lovely coffee we normally have there, counter staff was dismissive when we mentioned it.

  Really disappointing breakfast. Eggs were over cooked, bacon was burnt, sausage was deep fried, wasn't even average it was nasty. Coffee was watery & weak. Been here many times for dinner and has been good. If you are looking for a good breakfast don't go here. Now we will never be back.

  Great place for a drink, coffee or a meal. Lovely setting inside and out. Multiple different areas to sit inside and out. Separate bar area. Food now a bit complicated/ mix of flavours for my taste but most really enjoy the food.

  We had such a great night here with friends, service and food were both fantastic. Ambience and surroundings absolutely delightful. Highlights were - Oysters, fresh and creamy! Pork bites, tender with crunchy crackle! Also mains of Venison & Pork stood out..they were cooked to perfection..delicious.

  Great setting and some members of the group had great food, I made a poor decision and my choice was nothing spectacular for the money. Pricing is more towards premium, with drinks being exceptionally expensive. A low cost low alcohol fruit flavoured "beer" being $8. No added value anywhere to be had, no free WiFi to keep children entertained whilst waiting etc. Great service by staff and overall an good.

  Delicious, generous portions of food, amazingly friendly and helpful service, a warm and inviting atmosphere, what's not to love? We were very impressed with our waitresses and the dude on the counter when we paid - they were helpful and very sympathetic when it came to dealing with my dietary requirements, despite me forgetting to ring beforehand to give the kitchen a heads up. We were very happy with our meal, and left with full bellies :)

  Love the setting but the food really lets the place down, service seems to be a bit miss and hit with several staff doing the same job which means a lot of the same questions. Great place to go for a drink and to sit in the sun.

  I promise you they do the best eggs bene in town (get the rosti on the side its to die!). They offer amazing steaks 2 for 1 on a Monday and the atmosphere inside is really cool. Not to mention the outdoor garden area where wild rabbits run past while you're drinking ciders in the sun. This place is the all round a great place!

  The setting is nice, but the quality of food really doesn't match. We ended up ordering two Texas salads with salmon. Based price is $18 plus an extra $7 for smoked salmon. The quality is similar to what you might get in a prepacked box at the supermarket. A truly uninspired offering. The salmon was flaked into the salad, I reckon maybe a dollar worth.
  Other meals I saw looked OK, but for example the fish and chips appeared to be more batter than fish, and fairly ordinary fish. Desserts are $15 each.
  So top end pricing, but entry level delivery. I'd not go back.
