Thanks for a delicious meal in your beautiful Cafe. Love sitting in the front room with the lovely view. Very relaxing and quiet. The music is not as loud and you can hear people talk.

Great venue, loved Table 22. Service was excellent! But the noise level with the long table of ladies in that small space was almost unbearable! 😑

I love the decor that is really elegant and modern. Music was blaring so it doesn’t actually feel like a cafe, more like a bar. Their smash burger was good, pork belly salad has nice crispy pork belly which is cooked well but noodle salad was pretty sweet. Also the tagliatelle was pretty sweet too which was rather strange. Like I dont mind sweet but it is lack of balance. Iced hibiscus tea was ok, slightly sour and not sweet.

Great space to catch up with family and friendly service but on this occasion the overall experience was a little disappointing. The pancakes/hotcakes were dense and needed more sauce and flavours, and two parts of our order were missed.

The service was not very good. Waited a bit too long for someone to take our order. I had to go to the counter to ask for something not on our table and the staff member half rolled his eyes before giving it to me. The coffee was terrible but that could be just my taste.

Really enjoyed the meal, and great presentation of meals. Very friendly efficient staff. Lovely ambience . Only comment I felt the music could have been just a little quieter but overall very happy and will look forward to coming back and would highly recommend to others.
