Hands down the absolute worst meal I have had in years. Fries were cold and greasy, bread was stale. It was actually hard to swallow. Service was excellent.

I had a chicken and bacon panini on a cold misty December day. It was a treat to sit in that building and eat a delicious panini. Really mooted the food and atmosphere. Great service as well.

OK, I have tried other stuff here but my fav is cheese scone and pea soup. I live in Victoria and almost every time I travel up island I have to stop in here.(awkward confession sometimes I travel up island just for the scones and pea soup)Of the other stuff I have tried in the past I really enjoyed as well.

Don 't think I 've written a negative review before but i want to share my experience earlier today:Went in to have some nice lunch on a rainy day (1:30 pm). Barely got greeted. Food was okay, not too flavorful. I wasn 't asked if I 'd have it there or to go and even when it was obvious that I was going to have it there, I got it in a to go box with plastic cutlery. Had a salad as my side and with a tiny plastic fork hard to eat, so I kindly asked her is she had normal cutlery aswell. 'No, we don 't have that ' while roll ups were laying right behind her. To be lazy/save yourself work washing dishes and not give customers real plates/cutlery is one thing, but to lie about it when someone asks.. No music there either.Been to the place across the street before (great experience) and wanted to switch it up this time. Regret doing that. As a server I get that you can 't always give perfect service (if understaffed in summer for example) but if that 's not the case and you simply don 't give a .. Didn 't spend too much money there fortunately, but even that twenty five bucks, I wish I still had in my pocket..
