★ ★ ★ ★ ★ Food and drink was delicious (I had the fettuccine), lovely family atmosphere, where I didn't feel shamed if my toddler was 'vocal' . Unfortunately the weather wasn't great so we didn't get to use the playground.
Lovely decor and friendly staff. Would highly recommend and will be returning.

★ ★ ★ ★ ★ Very warm and welcoming! Food is delicious and caters to your dietary reservations - even customized my burger. Slightly pricey but would recommend for all special occasions.

★ ★ ★ ★ ★ We have a newborn son so wanted to order some takeout last week, which Google said the restaurant does.
When I called and asked the lady said they don't really do takeout but said they weren't busy so was happy to do it for us, which was awesome.
We had the waygu burger and fries and it was delicious. They also take the dine find gift card, which was useful as we'd been given one for Christmas.
Looking forward to visiting the restaurant in person soon.

★ ★ ★ ★ ★ Food and atmosphere was nice. Especially seeing the venue used for a kids birthday with a face painter made it feel not as formal and kid friendly.

★ ★ ★ ★ ★ Located beside Whoa! Studios, there is a giant and amazing playground just outside the cafe. There are two entrances, the tuck shop (where they have ice cream) and the restaurant, labeled. The restaurant itself was quite nice with the kitchen on one side and a bricked off dining area on the other with an upstairs dining area. The restaurant is also connected to the shop and theatre of the studio.
I quite like the hot chocolate since it was sweet and chocolatey. We ordered the roast pork pancakes to share and I had the fusilli pasta. The roast pork pancakes were ok, nice flavour and the crackling was crispy. Pasta was nice but not that shape I expecting (I was thinking more spirally). We then got some ice cream afterwards, we picked flavours from the tuck shop and it was served at the table. I had the triple chocolate one although tasty, it was more bitter than sweet.
I do think that this is a really nice place just to spend some time over lunch. There are quite a few parks inside but we ended up parking on the street nearby.
Edit: Portions were a bit small, particularly the tater tots.
The childrens gnocci was really rubbery which was disappointing.

★ ★ ★ ★ ★ It was a lovely sunny day so no surprise the place was packed. Luckily our friend had booked a table. There is some confusion around paying to use the playground. We paid the $7 but feel it should be included when dinning at the restaurant. Staff seemed a bit stretched with a long wait to order and for water. The food was delicious, ribs much enjoyed with the sauce, salad and rice. The fish was tasty but overpriced at $37 when it came with 2 mussels, some sundried tomato, olives, capers and grisini sticks. The grisini were a strange accompanyment, a piece of bread would have been nicer to soak up the sauce.

★ ★ ★ ★ ★ It was our first time to go to this place. We were excited to spend some time with friends and enjoy “Happy Hour.” They advertised on their website that they have Happy Hour every Thursday and Friday afternoon from 5-6 pm, and that most of their seasonal wines and house beers were half priced. We were disappointed and dismayed when we were told that they don’t have “Happy Hour”. That’s actually false/misleading advertising. Even worse, the waitress told me they only have expensive wines and I wouldn’t have wanted it, as if telling me that I couldn’t afford it. Nevertheless, we spent more than $400 on food and drinks. The panna cotta was good but the strawberry Tiramisu was weird. We would’ve gone back to this place. I even thought of suggesting to have our corporate party there but because of what happened, I would neither go back nor recommend it to anyone. But at least the kids had fun at the playground. That was the saving grace.

★ ★ ★ ★ ★ The food was great. Restaurant ia spacious. There is a play area for kids so parents can watch their kids play while eating (if you are seated on the outside tables). Service was excellent
