Honestly, I was surprised to hear when I arrived from the family that they felt the staff were rude. We have been before and had not experienced the same. We even felt one of the staff members was abrupt in his manner. I do believe they were trying to accommodate although it needs to be done with less attitude. After all it is hospitality. Because of this experience we are not sure whether we will return.

Wonderful lunch. Super friendly service. Four of us had the share platter, I enjoyed a fruity rosé. Then on to dessert. The sin cake is divine and the passionfruit tart tangy and delicious. So lovely to sit and enjoy on the deck with a beautiful view.
