The food was fantastic. The staff are young but they’ll get better the more they work. The chef came and double checked our order and was really proud of his food as he should be. It was fabulous and we will definitely be back. It’s also fully licensed and has a reasonable selection. We loved the whole experience

The salads were delicious, the prosecco cold and fresh, and the scones, jam and cream divine. The staff are friendly and really accommodating and we love the ambience. The place is a gem in the middle of Manly Vale and we go there regularly!
