Food was very nice and potently of variety to choose from. Kids menu has great options and they provided some crayons which made our lunch a pleasant experience. I was quite frustrated to learn that the kids eat free special was not available if one person on our table had the bento box. I had a normal meal so expected that my child's meal would be free. However, someone else on the table ordered a bento box so the deal was no longer valid. It seems quite unfair in my opinion.

There must have been a change of ownership recently as what was once one of my favorite locals, has gone downhill. The food did not seem fresh, my wrap was soggy and the high chairs were very dirty. Perhaps they were just having an off day, hopefully they can restore the original standards!

I do enjoy the food here, the menu is innovative and has some great breakfast options that are different to your standard eggs and toast. Service could be improved as staff don't seem to be coping with the amount of people coming in. My favorite item is the cheesy toast with eggplant chutney. Cash only policy is frustrating!

Food has always been fresh and tasty. However the service of late has been terrible. Our waitress seemed completely bored and impatient. In fact even rolled her eyes when my elderly grandmother asked a few questions about the menu. The cash only policy does bother me, especially for a large and busy cafe such as this. I will continue to return, as the food is good... hopefully we will get a different waiter next time.

I've been going here for a number of years and have always been happy with the results. The ladies are all great at what they do and make you feel comfortable in a usually quite uncomfortable situation. A few times however, patches have been misses and I've had to fix up a little bit at home.

Small, intimate play centre that allows children to explore their imagination. You won't find any climbing structures or cars here, its more about dress ups and pretend play. It's quite small, so in the mornings is sometimes very busy but does quieten down in the afternoon. There's not much seating for snack time, and no hot food options. Kids snacks could definitely be healthier as there's only chocolate, biscuits and cupcakes to choose from.

Great open area for kids to run around. Entertainment includes cars, jumping castle, little houses, some soft blocks and mats. This place could really benefit from a large climbing structure as they have the space for it. Entry fee of $10 in my opinion is a little high. Decent hot food options and coffee. Keep an eye on your kids as my little one was bullied by some older children and the parents were no where to be seen.

Went in for a pregnancy treatment which included a foot bath, neck and shoulder massage and a facial. The atmosphere was very relaxing and the staff were warm and friendly. I felt relaxed and refreshed afterwards.
I would have given it 5 stars, however the massage was not as firm as I would have liked, even though I mentioned firm on the form.

Amazing food! Just the right amount of spice for me, however others on the table found a few dishes far too hot for their taste. We let the waiter decide on our entire menu which was absolutely the right call. He chose perfect dishes based on our dietary requirements. Delicious cocktails to accompany as well. The sticky ribs were probably the biggest hit all round.
Get there early to put your name down. Pop downstairs for a few drinks while you wait (for up to 2.5 hours!). Have you wallet ready because it might end up being a costly evening!

Fantastic Mexican food that is very different from the standard "tex Mex style. Great vegetarian options which have been given the same attention to detail as the meat and seafood dishes. The best dish overall was the corn, absolutely delicious!
Service could do with some improvement. We were rushes to place our orders and also not given much assistance when we asked for recommendations. The massive line down the stairs and out the front door may have had something to do with this! If you're not up for a 2 hour wait, opt for a weekday lunch instead.
