The key part for me is that they try, they try in their customer service and table service as well as putting on live music on an evening - mainly when it's a little warmer.

Slow takeaway, but honestly that doesn't bother me, as most of the time I have plenty of time when I am in Lane Cove.

Coffee is just good and far from full bodied and robust in flavour. Prices are on par with the plethora of Coffee Shops in the area. Food was good though a little on the average size considering what one pays.

So my biggest drawback, is the courtyard which allows smokers. Being a bit close to the main road - means you already suck the car fumes, but around food (and families) why do they even have ash trays! If they got rid of this, I would add a star, as such the taste of death which accompanies my meal, makes this place below average.

It does come with entertainment in the sense of the waiters dodging the cyclists who take short cuts through the plaza. That's always added value. I go here because they try, I don't if I see a smoker which is far too often.

Approximate cost: $15

Very nice place, food very very nice, coffee also is good. Waitresses are quick and helpful, menu is big and difficult to choose from as everything seems tasty.

Approximate cost: $25

I went here once for breakfast and it was amazing! The staff created a new table for myself and my friends and were quick to serve us. Will definitely return

If you are after a really lovely fine dining experience, then the food and service here is great! We had a waiter from South America who was lots of fun, and my father-in-law loved his kangaroo! Difficult to choose what to order - all looks yum.

Approximate cost: $30
