Have been here 4 times over 7 yrs and it has only gotten better and better.
This is my most recent experience. 5th of jan this yr.
Although we had a reservation we were asked to wait in lounge. Once all our group arrived it took bout 20mins to be seated. Annoying considering we had booked for our group of 11. We all arrived on time but had to ask twice why we were left waiting. Cafe was not even a third full-however we were finally seated. We were served promptly after that. Disappointed a request for a child's meal to be brought out with entrees was ignored. Luckily it was an older child that could quietly wait as we had been kept waiting ages already!! Food was the highlight. Exquisite !
I had duck terrine and duck confit starter followed with beetroot and goats curd salad for my main. Blissful!! Duck dish was heaven...melt in yr mouth rich full flavours and dry satisfying.
The salad was fresh light and perfectly balanced. Tart lemony curd with sweet beetroot and crunchy leaves. Washed down with gorgeous sauvignon blanc.
Coffee and little caramel served alongside were lovely-but the fruity biscotti were gross!! Bland and flavourless.
In summary it was a great lunch. The staff were young, possibly new as I'd venture to assume reg staff may have been on holidays.
I'd like to whinge that although the chip I pinched off a friends plate was yummy-$9 a (small) bowl is a ridiculous amount to charge for deep fried plain ole potato and you know it!! For shame!!!
In summary good overall effort and the fantastic local fresh food won us all over.
Ps. Dead flys on the window sill and on our table was a little disconcerting...

Approximate cost: $27
