   We enjoyed a tasty meal before the performance on Saturday night. The waitstaff was excellent and the meals were presented beautifully plated and in a timely manner. The only unfortunate issue was that they had run out of a few of the menu items when we ordered. Overall, it was a very positive dining experience.

   The staff, the food and the wine were excellent. The venue and ordering system however are dreadfully outdated and desperately need to be brought into the 21St Century. No one wishes to go out to dine in a cafe or restaurant and then to have to stand in a queue for at least 10 minutes to order one's food and purchase a bottle of wine. It was like ordering from a food truck at a market or fair. There was one cashier only, for both food and drink orders. The cashier did her best but was easily flustered, and so slow. The food was delivered to the table by a waitress however, that was the only staff we saw the enire dining experience. The atmosphere was like being in a Coles Cafteria back in the 60's and 70's. It was like stepping into a time warp. Such a pity as the quality, taste and presentation of the food was excellent and that, along with an enjoyable bottle of wine, were the only redeeming features of the dining experienc. Sadly though, these are insufficient to encourage us to return. Next time we will try a local, neraby cafe.

   the time taken to order is far too long especially when you’re there to see a show. One very slow register is insufficient, then there are people in the food queue who only want a drink, seems silly to expect people to wait up to 20 mins to order a bottle of water. also, I wanted to add two friends to our table online but it said sold out, they didn’t come, but there were many vacant chairs when we got there. That said, the staff are lovely, the food is nice but the booking and ordering processes need overhauling, thankyou

   It is a lovely relaxed way to start the night . Lovely smiling and friendly staff and beautifully organised nothing was too much trouble for them. Meals were yummy and were quick to be bought out and they were still hot. A good variety on the menu. I have been there before but it was my Sisters first time and she was suitably imoressed as well. Yes we will be back Maree
