Wait staff were fabulous. Very accommodating. My friend was an hour late due to traffic. I felt more than comfortable to wait for her in the restaurant.

A wonderful location for a special brunch with friends. Excellent food, though reasonably expensive compared to a cafe brunch. Service was unobtrusive, but there when needed. The ambiance within the lush plantings around the garden nursery was very restful and inspires a lazy meal and catchup with friends.

Consistently good coffee and food with friendly, polite staff. Service slowish, but understandable given the number of guests and turnover of tables. A favourite venue and menu.
