The entree was very nice as was the juice, then the main arrived which again was very nice and as we were finishing our main the desert arrived, again very nice but all to rushed.In summary the service and meals were good and it would had been good to sit back and enjoy the venue which is appealling. Perhaps there was a reason for the rush but hey, it could had been mentioned.

We all agreed that the coffee was very good. Service was quick although there weren't many people there. The lady serving us was very friendly. There is both indoor and outdoor seating. It's a nice little country cafe.

The other dishes my friends ordered were also elegantly presented and likely very tasty.

Nothing was too much trouble for them, and they were friendly and attentive throughout our visit. As for the food, it was outstanding. I had the potato rösti from the all-day breakfast menu, which was perfectly cooked—crispy, flavorful, and served on a bed of bacon, rocket, and chutney, all topped with a perfectly poached egg and a rich, creamy Hollandaise sauce. My wife’s Leek Thyme Chicken, served in a cast-iron pot, was even better than my dish. It was a sumptuous creation, with the chicken thighs incredibly moist and tender. It was so delicious that we asked for some bread to soak up the leftover sauce! We ended our meal with impressive desserts: sticky date pudding and affogato pudding, as well as a couple of coffees (a delightful flat white and a more mundane chai latte). In summary, Whipbird provided an experience we often seek but seldom find. The venue, food, and service were all five-star. And yes, as noted by some other reviewers, the prices are a bit on the higher side. However, in this instance, the saying "you get what you pay for" holds true, and for us, it was money very well spent.
