Honestly, the decor and setting of this place is gorgeous and I really badly wanted to like it! Perhaps they were just having a bad day, because the other reviews are very positive, but our experience wasn't great.
We were driving past and stopped in for lunch. When we walked in, we were told that there was a "huge delay on food". We were in no hurry, so we ordered coffee and started browsing the menu. Then a lady came out from the kitchen and said there was no food available at all. We wouldn't have ordered the coffee had we known there was no food. Bear in mind, this was not after lunch, this was peak lunch hour.
Having ordered coffee, we were kind of stuck, so we ordered a couple of slices and some cake and went out to the deck. The deck was full, but we got lucky with a table leaving just as we arrived. The surroundings were really lovely and the coffee was good enough. The slices/cake were pretty standard cafe fare; think Coffee Club level of quality. Around us, people who had arrived earlier were receiving their meal orders in dribs and drabs. The table beside us were there before we arrived and half of their table were just receiving their meals as we left, leading them to complain to the waitress about all their meals not arriving at the same time.
The staff were nice, but seemed pretty frazzled, which is to be expected, I guess. Sadly, we won't be going back, although you could almost do this place just for the ambiance alone. read more
