    Another awesome place to chill out. Nice ambiance and great food! Give their thin crust pizzas a try. And also if you are lucky enough, you may enjoy a free outdoor live arts performance too!

    High prices: Terribly expensive for such a non-central, tucked-away spot. With taxes, fish & chips $28! (20% cheaper & tastier @ Greenwood Fish Mkt), eggs Benedict $21, regular rootbeer float $12!!

    They open early on weekends (8.30) and there's a huge field and gravel pit and bouncy castles set up right next to al fresco tables. Yay for tired parents of toddlers!

    Eggs ben was nice. I thought the eggs were fresh. Bacon was yummy. I liked the lasagna too & Melba breakfast set was good. It was a busy Sunday brunch but over-all I would give it a 4 out of 5 stars.

    All day breakfast served here & here's medium rare steak with wedges and two poached eggs $29.00 ( price a bit steep ) but nice ambience, away from crowded cafes in town ..

    Rosti is pretty good, but gets a bit chewy when cold. The poached eggs are cold and tasteless which is strange. Love the flat white. And good for kids cause there's a bouncy castle and kids soccer.

    Great for kids; food is good but not memorable. It gets super busy after 10:30am on Sundays. They don't take reservation unless it's for dinner.

    Nice ambience, but the food can be better. Great for couple time. They also do events,as there was a birthday party just outside with a blown up bouncy castle.

    This is reasonably good. However, the food here is expensive considering the ambience, service and quality. The children playground in front of the patio is great though.

    Want smth sweet to end your meal with? Order the strawberry with Horlick liquid dessert! It's soooo good it's like walking into a fluffy cloud and eating like it's cotton candy.

    You can actually enter by the side gate so bus stop @ Mountbatten road is easier access then going from goodman road

    Great decor, average fare. Love the interior and furnishing, but the food in isolation is absolutely nothing special. The b.l.a.t sarnie was one-dimensional, flavorless bacon.
