3 Hour Lunch - don't bother
The cafe was very busy! It took half an hour to place our order and 1 hour and half to get our lunch. The meals did not come out all at once. Some people had finished eating before others had got their meals. The food was nothing great and some only luke warm. Desserts never arrived and we couldn't wait any longer. There was not much communication. After waiting for 1 hour we got a complimentary garlic bread which did not have enough pieces to feed the table. The staff were not particularly good, although they were obviously run off their feet. When we paid our bill there were no apologies! I would never eat there again.

We could see that they were overbooked. They should know their limits or tell people there is going to be a delay at the time of the booking.    [03 Aug 2003 19:56:09]

Atmosphere great
What a fantastic place to dine and also to take the kids the atmosphere is great and not to mention the food and the service. I don't know what the report on the 3 hour lunch was about but it was packed when we went there and we got greeted as soon as we went throught the door, and five minutes later as soon as we decided what we were going to order off their fantastic menu, and we recEived the meals about fifteen minutes later. Seemed like nothing as the kids were enjoying themselves looking at the fish in the indoor pond and they walked the tame goat named "Lucy" it's a great place to thake the kids. The meals came and were fantastic, we were served so well by the waiters. The kids also enjoyed watching a movie that was projected on the wall. They always ask me if we can go back there to see Lucy and watch the movie. I would go back there for sure. Fantastic place.    [21 Sep 2004 22:50:35]

Mothers Day breakfast
Wow, what an unique place, such an amazing feel, very busy but apparantly not usually so busy, indoor rainforest with fishpond and bridge - very quaint - service very friendly & lovely coffee - large servings & total value for money. Would recommend & kids would like feeding their deer - just ask for deer food. Butterfly release was quite amazing and we got beautiful photos - and its BYO.    [10 May 2005 04:07:09]
