We had Sunday high tea. Of our 5, we had a lactose sensitive person and 2x gluten free. With prior warning, the chef was able to accommodate our GF needs and minimise dairy. The teas are tasty, and the mix of flavours in the range of high tea offerings was excellent. Happy customers - 3 boomers 2 Gen X. Thanks.

Absolutely loved the ambience of this gorgeous restaurant. Beautifully lit and well thought out dining spaces. The staff were genuinely lovely, attentive, not over the top but really welcoming and kind. The food was outstanding, we had the gf bread (best gf bread we’ve had out in a while) lamb entree, wagyu and pork main, parish mash and the pavlova for dessert. All were beautiful, the pork was a little less tender than hoped but still good. We will definitely be back.
