I’m speechless. The whole experience was so very special. I can’t believe the attention to every detail. Our food was out of this world- literally & our every whim was catered for, especially our request for organic wine. They did better than that 🤗

Beautiful place and good and professional service. We had a party of eight and the tea was great. Thought that the sandwiches could have been more exciting. Worth the visit

My wife and I were seated to a wonder piano/bass duet. Luke was as good a server as we have ever had. The menu could not have been better and the food preparation was splendid. This really was one of the finest meals we have ever had. I hope we get the chance to come back soon. The entire operation from the moment we got out of the car until we left made us feel very special. Thank you.

This is probably my favourite restaurant to enjoy a relaxed and very indulgent breakfast, healthy options are available, in fact so many options are available. The selection of teas is superb, but of course we have our favourites. Over Easter we tended to forget about the healthy options! I also sometimes drop in for breakfast here when I am in town and always enjoy. I think it's my favourite breakfast venue!
