Hunting around for decent coffee North of Hornsby is tough. There are few and far between cafes,…read morelet alone decent ones. So in the search, I came across Berowra Waters Garden House Cafe, and so set off to find it. Problem was the only address was Lot 1 Berowra Waters Road, so I found the Road and just started driving.... and driving.... and twisting and turning.... until finally I got to the ferry at Berowa Waters. Only issue was that I could not see Berowra Waters Garden House Cafe. I could however see a coffee sign for the Relaxation Boat Hire, so figured... as long as I was here.... why Not. :-) It turns out that they have only just bought a 2nd hand coffee cart, which gets maintained and supplied by some company (they were not sure of the details). In any case, while they have very little experience making coffee, walking them through the steps to make what it was I wanted resulted in a really good coffee. In their favour is an excellent grinder, a great coffee machine, and apparently some very decent beans. While words like ristretto and macchiato will undoubtedly get you a blank stare for your effort, the friendly staff here are extremely friendly, Now here is where it gets interesting though. Given the popularity of this coffee stand, they are looking at expanding it into a proper little cafe. While this is going to be a work in progress, and is unlikely to be finished until mid-2012, it might be worth keeping an eye on. This is also an important step forward given that the only other coffee currently available is from the Berowra Waters Fish Cafe on the other side of the ferry. It appears I am not the only one who does not enjoy coffee from there. In any case, the guys here are really nice people, so even if you ar just waiting for the ferry, why not grab a quick cup and maybe a cookie... :-) Cafe Summary ------------------------ Passion for Coffee - 7/10 Coffee beans - (Unsure) Crema (1=burnt, 10=velvet) - 7/10 Special coffees avail? - N/A

Look at the crummy facade and imagine how unsanitary their kitchen is - that's enough to turn anyone off. Not to mention the 30+ bikie patrons and bikes makes the place look menacing and threatening. I couldn't set foot on the cafe. I just couldn't do it. Although I tried a pie and it was okay. The pie had chunky meat pieces so you knew it was real beef and not some mashed off-cuts. But back to my initial point - If I can't even get out of the car, it's a real worry!

Reservations here are about as solid as a sandcastle on a beach as the king tide rolls in to crash against it. Having reserved 2 tables for a total of 16 people we were accosted by a procession of toolshops turning up and thinking the table was theirs. Literally 3 full groups wanted one of our reserved tables, despite our name being on the reservation card, in full view. Having to find people their tables wasn't on my menu for the day, but I did it anyways -- I won't hold daft customers against King Tide, that ain't their problem. We all ordered different things at different times, so things came out higgledy-piggledy -- Again, I can't fault King Tide here, we probably should have gone up all at once. (Big Tip: There is a bistro style table service in effect here. What this means is that you go to the counter, order and pay, and are then given a number on a stand. One of the staff then brings your order over when it is ready.) Where I *can* fault King Tide is on the seafood platter for 2 (The hot and cold for $120). First off it's a $120 spend at what is tantamount to a fish and chip shop by a marina, replete with seagulls, plastic chairs, and a view of water and rundown ships. The platter comes with fresh prawns, lobster tail, oysters, smoked salmon, and an array of fried seafood items (plus dipping sauces), and chips. It all sounds good till you try the food. My first item was the lobster tail. I've had really good lobster in Halifax, so I'm well versed in the fare. I took half and began to remove it from its shelled home. Unfortunately I could tell before I even tasted it that it was dry (overcooked) and somewhat rubbery (a symptom of frozen seafood). The flavour itself was fine (nothing exceptional) but it lacked wow factor. There was no buttery sweet goodness... It was dry. The fresh prawns were next, and these were the best thing on the platter. Still in their complete shell you will have to de-vein them as you peel and prepare them for your word hole. I'm not the biggest oyster fan, but I tried one and found it far too briney to bother going back for a second. Even with the addition of lemon juice the salt water taste was overpowering. It's not a flavour that screams "try me again!". The smoked salmon (not the kind you buy at a deli, though the taste is similar) was also very dry. The flavour was very good and I had a few pieces but the dryness killed it for me. The fried stuff was all pretty good. Clearly this is where King Tide can claim expertise. The calamari was al dente, the fish nicely fried, and the chips crunchy and fluffy. The crab leg was a nice surprise too. Overall I found the platter to be way too expensive for what you are actually getting, and the skill of cooking employed. It was average, nothing stood out as exceptional. I will note however that 3 of us shared the platter, and it was enough for the 3 (we did have cake afterwards so maybe everyone was saving themselves for that). Whilst the spot itself is quite nice and the staff friendly enough, the food doesn't deliver on expectations. I would come here again but would probably stick to the standard fish and chips next time, because I'd be knowing what I was getting and be happy to have it.
