    Great service on a busy Valentines Day, the staff were attentive at the right times. We enjoyed ceviche, steak, roast peppers and more with a bottle of Semillon, and finished with desserts. Everything was shareable and we didn’t feel rushed out of an early dining time (6:30).

    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!
