We were seated at the 'bird table' and entertained by rosellas, cockatoos and galahs as they fed at the bird table outside. Excellent menu choices and good food. The service was also brilliant. Highly recommend.

The dining room was lovely and warm, the decor pleasantly light, inviting and very uplifting. Six people ordering 4 different meals, 'Christmas In July' was my choice and has never been this good, A decent size bowl of pumpkin soup, next was the large main course with thick slices of turkey and roast vegies, cranberry sauce, all precisely served cooked and hot, ( a rare commodity these days), followed by Christmas Pud with custard, cream & ice cream, topped off with a Latte. I was in 7th heaven. The rest of the group were just as enthusiastic with their meals i.e: Chicken, corn & bacon pie, or Home made meat loaf very thick, Gluten free was also enjoyed. Prices are very reasonable, We will be back, and if you want to impress - then this is the place.

I visited on a Wednesday at 11:30am with my colleague, and we were the only ones there at first but it quickly started to fill up. The place was about half full, which was surprising for a mid-week lunch. The service was excellent and I enjoyed sitting near the big windows, which offered a nice view of the street. The tables were spaced out nicely, giving each table privacy. We shared the salmon on pancake main dish ($28) and it was delicious. The dish came with three pancakes, although my picture only shows two. We also shared the sticky date pudding and each had a coffee, which was the perfect way to end the meal. The butterscotch syrup was so good that I could drink it, and the pudding was incredibly moist and absorbed the syrup well. I will definitely be back to try their scones, as I've heard they are also delicious.

Customer service, atmosphere and food are fantastic. Wish I could get more than five stars. read more Customer service, atmosphere and food are fantastic. Wish I could get more than five stars.
