Food was exceptional, the meal felt unrushed and nothing was too much trouble. Plan for 3.5-4 hours for the experience.

I would recomend Hardy's as a place to celebrate a special occasion with excellent food, matching wines and great friendly service. The atmosphere is also something special. A bit pricey but worth it.

We attended Hardy’s Verandah restaurant for the degustation presentation which, overall was very good - the course presentations were high quality and did not disappoint. The wait staff were friendly and very helpful but the drinks presentation was clunky and much delayed. We were seated at 6pm and our initial drinks order did not arrive until the first of the courses was being served. I cancelled a planned white wine order because the drinks arrived too late! Out special event (49th wedding anniversary was appropriately recognised - very nice

High tea at Hardy's Pros: staff were very friendly and knowledgeable of the food, nice atmosphere Cons: pot of tea was very weak, soy milk lumpy, vegan scone offered was very small and a bit hard, plant-based cream was more like margarine. Overall, would go to other high tea venues before heading back to Lofty House.
