    Service and attention were outstanding and food very well prepared. The restaurant is located in a very classy and elegant hotel, probably from the year 1800. This is a place you cannot miss.

    What a fabulous afternoon tea! The tea menu was lovely and offered ample choice. The tray of goodies was varied, fresh and so appealing!! The event was a birthday gift for my niece and we were no disappointed!! Our server was professional, approachable and a really lovely addition.

    Booked afternoon tea. Arrived only to be told they don't do Tea Monday or Tuesday. When I booked the site didn't specify that. Paid $15.00 for parking. Won't be going back

    Terrible service. Booked this to celebrate my wife's birthday and the whole experience was tainted by the poor service. Nothing ruins a restaurant meal more than being abandoned by your server. He left us the menus then never returned. We just wanted some drinks to start but he never came back. I had to get up and try and find him - no luck so I just asked one of the other servers. Some 10 minutes later he returned. When he dropped our meals off he again quickly left before we could even ask for some salt and pepper. Again, I had to get up and look for him - ended up asking another server who said she would bring some. She forgot so I had to get up again and asked her once more. She apologized and eventually brought some but our food was cold by then. I really can't recommend this restaurant as the expense of the meal certainly was not reflected in the poor service. They were not overly busy btw, many empty tables.

    One of our favourite date night quiet spots in town. Not too many tourists and the back deck is fabulous in the summer time

    We had an amazing dinner on the back patio overlooking the gardens and golf course. The food and service was above and beyond as was the beautiful scenery. We'll definitely visit regularly.
