    Great atmosphere, fast and excellent service on a busy night. Really exceptional experience for Valentine's day dinner Liam was really helpful as my stepson has egg dairy and nuts allergies. Very understanding and always willing to accommodate any special requests. My wife and I can always enjoy our dinner at Andiamo Summer Hill knowing staff are careful with our son's special food requests. Thanks

Women and everyone are loving this! Especially the women! So take the women in your life to The Grounds at Alexandria for a truly unique experience with the Paris decorations and flowers.

    Had a group booking for 4 girls for lunch and as soon as we all walked in, we are greeted with a smile and also the gorgeous greenery that surrounds us. The interior is full of florals and plants which adds to the atmosphere. We also had a swing chair to sit on with some cute cushions - cute touch. It's not our first time, some have dined here before, but it's still a cool place to visit. After lunch, we stroll through the laneway to see the pink floral set up that is The Chicest Mouse in Paris. Gorgeous! Then a coffee and cake at the cafe next store to top off our experience. It's always lovely to visit the Grounds of Alexandria!

    Happyfield was my first choice for my birthday breakfast! It was clean, the styling is great, staff are friendly and the food is delicious! The staff sang happy birthday to me and gave me a cookie, which was so nice of them! We had a great time.
