Great service. Food really tasty. Cafe reasonably busy with lunchtime crowd. Wait time for our meals was not too long and there was a steady flow of dishes coming from the kitchen. A little bit of delay clearing our plates and checking if we wanted tea or coffee (we had to catch the eye of the wait staff) but otherwise overall everything was really good
I didn't get my bacon with my breakfast so had to wait so because of that my bacon was not fully cooked. Also ask for honey with my tea and they put in directly into my cup so next time will request it to be separate in a little contain so I can control the amount and have enough for the tea cups. Loving the need tea pot holders. Over great as always.
Could be more hospitable. Food was good though. Got our booking wrong.
Loved my pork cigar. Others enjoyed their meal as well. Lovely setting overlooking a lake. Will come again.
Food was great. Service was good initially, but couldn’t attract attention when I wanted another drink as staff were talking to a couple of girls.
Food and service was excellent as usual. Friendly and helpful staff
Great atmosphere and good food. Service staff excellent. Enjoyed by all.
We come every week so this is our story. All good
Requested shade not granted Waited 40 mins for coffee Food delicious
Order was incorrect. Even though I informed the waiter that my order was incorrect twice in separate times in a nice way possible I was still criticised by the waiter for my attitude. This criticism I felt was not necessary as it ruined my time at the restaurant. More so when the waiter had the order incorrect twice. When asked if the dish had been reheated or made new with the correct ingredients, the waiter changed his mind twice on the same question when all I was just wanting clarification.
Had a very nice breakfast, service was not as good as normal though.
It would’ve been amazing if my online reservation had translated to your booking system. Luckily we still got a table but it wasn’t outside like we’d booked. Food was lovely, atmosphere very ambient and service was great. Will go again for sure.
Food was delicious 😋 but the service was instant initially, but we did sit for a long time, and had to call staff for attention after main course.
Delicious food; pleasant and helpful service and meals served quickly.
Will return. Wait person should have mentioned the special $25 lunch.😬
My Fish stew was amazing. My husband had the Chicken masala could have done with a bit more seasoning lacked a bit of flavour. It’s early day a few teething problem with wait staff knowledge of service. My Prosecco came out in a plastic glass. Over all will go back for another meat
Our visit was for a group of 5 for lunch. The offerings were varied, of great value for money and cannot complain about the service. Will visit again.
Catch up for friends for brunch. Very busy, friendly staff. Ended up having coffee and cake
The in house service and the food was good. The booking process continues to be an issue. On line booking doesn't translate to request on attendance. Calling the number to book is also frustrating, with poor phone line and abrupt end of call.
Food was delicious with generous serves. Sat inside and was quite noisy. Staff were very nice and helpful.
We have been regular, Thursday morning breakfast participants, the new owner needs to train the staff to insure an orderly service is imperative, coffee before eating, serving food in order rotation, not how the chef decides to cook. We observed 5 tables being served their meals before us, when they arrived after us. The Venue is excellent. Beware the clients might notice the service is not what it has been in the past.
The food was great value and tasty. I asked if the table could be wiped, and the waitperson said the stains were permanent marks. That didn't explain the crumbs and food grease, so I cleaned it myself. Asked for extra napkins at one point but was promptly forgotten. The venue looks better on the website. I wouldn't rush back there.
Greeting was bad as an argument ensued whether we had made a reservation or not. Actually made online and also with a phone call. Many tables not used so fail to see why the waitress was so pushy. Service very slow. Ordered two glasses of Prosecco. After 20 minutes partner went up to the counter to ask where they were. My fish was nicely cooked but the duck shanks in Nasi goring were dried out and tough and the dish just wasn’t up to par. We will not be going back.
Great food friendly prompt service and a lovely place for a relaxed lunch. Will definitely return soon
Good food and generous serving sizes. The fried squid and garlic bread were delicious as was the seafood plate. Gnocchi a bit too soft and sauce was too sweet for my liking. Otherwise a really good cafe by the lake. Will return for another try.
Not really one to complain, but I believe people need to know. Four of us, I had mushroom brochette - it was cold and dry when delivered. Another had chilly scrambled eggs - just OK. but also cold when delivered,. Another had porridge - very stodgy and could only ate a few mouthfuls. Last person - enjoyed hers Overall it was a disappointment and wont be back.
I booked for 11.30, have an email confirmation of the time, period of booking, and then got a call from the manager the day before saying that it was not confirmed and the time I booked I couldn’t do so could I do 9am instead. I said yes not wanting to make a fuss, when we got there the manager said no your booking was at 8.30am, which was a lie, but I’ll try and fit you in. He found us a table and said we could have it for 90 minutes until 10.30am. At 10.00am whilst my dad still was eating we had him come up to us and say we had to leave in 5 minutes for another table. The manager was extremely extremely poor in managing our booking. The only pro was the waitress Ruby (I believe that is her name) she was a young girl and gave great customer service to us. Very disappointed with our experience though, it was the topic of the day when people asked how our breakfast was.
Really great menu, food, portion sizes and service. Will be a regular.
Service good but did not enjoy meal or price charged
It always has a welcoming atmosphere and the food ,service and ambience is always very pleasant.Today was no different and I like to meet my friends there.
Staff is always nice and the cafe is really nice.
Booking wasn't there, we sat inside and they totally ignored us. Coffee took ages and wasn't up to the usual standard. Not sure we will go again.
Table had not been reserved. Place felt generally unclean and messy (quite a few empty table had not been cleared). Disappointed that there didn’t seem to be a warm dessert menu anymore, as per website menu. Chai latte was tasteless. Coffee was good.
Ok food and coffee. Has nice view of a lake.
Second visit for lunch in about 3 months. First visit, lunch (seafood fritti) was awesome so was hanging out to go again. I had booked this first visit over the phone the day before. No record of our booking when we arrived, and the waitress asked us if we wanted to sit outside. It was raining so my 83 year old dad declined. Fortunately some people left and we were able to get their table. Second visit, same family members (4 adults). This time, I booked on line. Still no record of our booking. I was able to show the confirmation email and luckily a table was available. Food was ordinary. Soggy crumbed, chewy squid, 2 dry tough prawns. Was it worth the 26 dollars, well if you believe the papers, the cost of living is going through the roof, this place indicates that it is stratospheric. Im probably going to give it a miss from now on.
Bada Bing NEVER lets me down. Have been many times, food and service is always great
love the gnocchi and eggplant parmigiana would definitely recommend it
