This time, I only had a hot chocolate (which was cool to tepid), and my partner had a coffee, and a ham and cheese croissant. We had to ask for the croissant twice. The coffee and chocolate were very slow in coming, but did come without reminders to the staff. The café was not busy: there was one table of 10 that already had their food or drinks and were "wrapping up" and one other table with one person. There were a couple of take away people while we were there. I counted 4 staff; there may have been more behind the scenes. So all up; poor service and ordinary food.

Food was relatively quick, hot and of good quality - large burgers with tasty meat, plenty of extras and accompanying chips were hot and fresh. Daughters pizza was hot and plenty of toppings, so food was good - 8/10.Like I said, with some attention to detail the whole experience could be better because obviously the view over Adelaide is spectacular, so if you combine that with good food - you're on a winner.Staff seemed very disengaged, and were overheard to be having a few swipes at one another - not great for customers to see/hear that.Meals were served with no cutlery. No water on the table, and when sourced, we were given little plastic disposable cups you'd get from a water fountain (in a restaurant? - really?) Meals are served on a wooden tray type plate, which are just too small in practicality - nice to look at but not really good to execute.In all, just tidy up the service pieces and this is REALLY good place to come and have a nice meal in great surroundings....7/10.
