    I have to give this place 10/10. I took my Mum for her birthday and there was 8 of us and they looked after Mum so well and made her feel really special. they brought out her dessert with a candle...

      I have to give this place 10/10. I took my Mum for her birthday and there was 8 of us and they looked after Mum so well and made her feel really special. they brought out her dessert with a candle and really made a big fuss of her. She said it was the nicest place she'd ever been for her birthday and we've taken her to much bigger places before. Everyone at out table will be coming back soon.   (October, 2010)

    • Overall 9.3 - Food 9, Ambience 10, Value 9, Service 9

      This is my favorite place to eat on the Coast..I love that they chnage the menu regularly and that I can buy my Toby's Estate coffee beans to take home..My favorite meal is the vege burger with a sweet potato and pumpkin fritter. I also like that the girls know my name and are so friendly it seems that nothing is too much trouble   (danam - See my reviews (2) - October, 2010)

    • Overall 9.5 - Food 9, Ambience 9, Value 10, Service 10

      We had breakfast there on the long weekend and it was packed. But no worries, cause the service was on the ball, very quick and the staff were super friendly. The food was really delicious and the coffee was extra good and then there was a guy playing guitar - live music. What a nice suprise..you don't get that in too many places.   (danam - See my reviews (2) - October, 2010)

    • Overall 10 - Food 10, Ambience 10, Value 10, Service 10

      We just had lunch at there and I could not wait to give a review. This place is amazing - the menu, the food, the staff, the range of gourmet foods and utensils! This really is a 5 star eating venue on the coast that would easily rival those in Sydney and the value is sensational. I am so pleased I finally found a place like this on the coast and without the price or let down often experienced at places like Terrigal. This is a must visit place!   (See my reviews (3) - July, 2008)
