I was happy with the venue as a place to sit and chill. But really annoyed that myself and my husband ordered an iced coffee and iced chocolate. Was asked by the waitress if we would like icecream and cream in that we said yes. Went to pay the bill at the end to be charged extra $1.50 for the cream and $3.00 for ice cream in each of the drinks. Was not advised at the time of the extra cost. I could have brought another food item for the extra $9.00 extra I spent. Not happy. :(

Lovely lunch here - I had the mist deliciously flavoursome beef cheek risotto with a lovely glass of Clearview Blush. Perfect. Busy and quite full but not noisy, and surprisingly fast service. Beautiful outlook.

Thanks for your thoughts. We get many walk in guests which makes a very busy environment. The chefs do a marvellous job as do all our wait staff. Marvellous you got to enjoy one of our dishes in a beautiful place.
