    This cafe is really good - not as great as Green Tangerine, which is a cross the road - but still…read morequite good. The food here is the drawing card. The menu is awesome! And the best part is they are willing to add and change anything. All the picky eaters were extremely happy. We came here for breakfast/brunch and it was awesome. The staff here are friendly. But a warning the food does come out slowly - we waited a fair bit for the food. The staff were apologetic , as it was crowded, so that was easily forgiven. Sadly, the coffee is not as good as the food. It was alright, but honestly nothing special. If you are coming to eat here order the juice - that was amazing! They have different juice cocktails all as good as each other. Just a warning, this is not a well kept secret - everyone comes here. So it is crowded and busy most of the times, so be prepared to wait for a seat and then your food. However, it is popular for a reason.

    I still don't get why this place is popular. I gave it a chance twice and I let down both times…read more Food is over priced for what it is. Staff are hopeless, they literally have no idea what they are doing and when you ask them for your coffee they act like you are inconvenience even though you've asked 3 times in an hour where the coffee is. Yes, we waited an hour for a coffee as we also had ordered food which was pretty shit as well. After the last visit, I won't be back. I always tell friends to steer clear.

    The place is beautiful and the food is excellent. The Chef is nice and very friendly. We had such a…read moregreat time there.

    The restaurant is situated in a prime seaside location and seems to be very popular amongst the…read morelocals. It is really spacious, with high ceilings and loads of natural light. We really liked the chilled ambiance and the friendly staff. But a fine restaurant isn't only about good ambiance and fun staff. Before sounding like an old grandpa complaining, here are some reasons why your experience in the lake house might be different to ours: -Maybe the chef wasn't in a good mood that day. It was, after all, a gloomy rainy day. -Or maybe our expectations were too high after reading all the reviews here. -Or maybe because we came in a big-ish group (13 in total, an unlucky number too, some may believe). But the famous lake house didn't live up to my expectations for the following reasons: 1. The food simply took too long to arrive. We ordered by 1pm and food didn't arrive til almost an hour later. Granted that we weren't a small group, but the restaurant was half empty and it wasn't well communicated that it would take that long to cook. 2. The flavour was quite bland for most dishes. It was as if the pasta was left to boil for too long, and there wasn't enough salt to season the burgers. The dishes came out with inconsistent quality. Some dishes, like the fish and chips and chicken, were quite good; while others didn't live up to the premium price they charged. Hopefully your experience will be on par with the previous positive reviews.. I think we were just unlucky. Maybe the trick is to do the opposite of what we've done: go in a small group less than 13, have low expectations, and bribe the chef with some lollies. Good luck.
