We went in for coffee and dessert on the recommendation of friends who had been for dinner and really enjoyed the food. So disappointing...To start with the floors were covered in leaves and bits of trash - they may have blow in from the far other end of the restaurant which was open to the patio, but it gave a very negative first impression. The server seated us fairly quickly as the place was about half empty, but the table was filthy and it took awhile for someone to get around to wiping it off. We were given menus, then the long, long wait for service began. When someone finally turned up to take our order she apologized, but then took a very long time to get us drinks. The coffees and wine were nice, but average. The desserts were very, very good, but extremely overpriced. $13 - $14 dollars each just for the deserts - churros or apple cake plus additional cost for coffees. I got the best deal - a dessert sampler and a coffee for $13 and it was delicious - a tiny creme brulee, stewed rhubarb, a profiterole and a small piece of hedgehog slice - they were all divine and $13 seemed well priced when it included the coffee. The cleanliness, high prices and complete lack of customer service let this place down as the food is excellent. Another ewhhh moment came when I went to change my little guys nappie - no change table in the bathroom - I ended up changing him on the dirty bathroom floor - the other option being out in the restaurant - which isn't nice for the other patrons. There seemed to be a fair number of families with children in the restaurant so I am surprised not to find a change table as they are pretty standard.
