I regularly visit The Grounds. The food and service are always great. It was hot in Sydney today when we visited The Cafe. We were looking forward to feeling refreshed inside but were disappointed to find it was hotter in The Cafe than outside. Everyone at tables around us were fanning themselves with menus. We ate (food good) but left without finishing because of the heat and poor ventilation in the cafe.

Ambience was amazing. Service was quick and friendly. Food was excellent. For the amount of people that where they it was amazing quiet. Value for money. The laneway walk was going back into fairyland. Only think we could say that was negative is that is was quite hot in the cafe.

The food was pretty bland. We ordered the grilled chicken bowl and none of them had any flavor. The beef bowl was good.
