The staff were lovely and helpful, the cafe is great and the view is amazing. Definitely recommend booking in order to get a table or it's a long wait as it's popular cafe. Not too bad with catering for people with food allergies/aversions. No lunch options for someone on a carnivore diet after 11am as breakfast service finishes at 11am. They did make some bacon and eggs for me though as there was no other options. Vegan options were good and very tasty especially the pumpkin soup and curry Vegan options.

Great spot, no table service and the signage around the Cafe and wording shows frustration from management or owners. While I get why they have put the signage about changing tables. It leave an impression they are not approachable and unfriendly. However table service would go a long way.

We booked in advance and had a great table with views of the Glasshouse Mountains. I had the Chef's Special Braised Beef Cheeks with mashed potato and red wine sauce. My wife had the Barramundi. Both meals were perfectly prepared. Hope the beef Cheeks special makes it onto the main menu. Thoroughly enjoyed our time there.

Had a lovely lunch with family from interstate. They are from Melb and were VERY impressed with the food. Yellow curry, Korean Fried Chicken Burger and Pumpkin Curry Soup were all equally delicious. Will definitely go back.

I’m am so disappointed with our recent trip to the cafe. We had previously visited whilst on holiday and had a wonderful visit. We decided to book a table for my birthday and made a special 2hr trip to have a birthday lunch there. When we arrived, (10mins before our reservation) we were told our table had people sitting at it. There was not a single table available inside so we were told to sit outside….where it was blowing a gale and raining! I reiterated the fact that we had made a reservation for my birthday (which when we made the reservation were asked if it was for a special occasion!) and we didn’t want to sit outside in the rain! They just shrugged their shoulders and served the next the person in the queue. Needless to say, I don’t think we will be returning or recommending this cafe to anyone.

Loved the fact that there was a seniors menu.. felt the meal could have been slightly bigger.. especially the chicken dish.. mostly bone.. quite a cold feel not cosy considering it was a very cold day.
