Repeat visit and elected to sit inside. Great art on display. Service was friendly and prompt. Food was tasty and well presented. Thoroughly recommend an upmarket cafe with diverse menu, situated in lovely bamboo garden surrounded by classy plant nursery. Not cheap but well worth the money.

Always lovely. A few small niceties have been stopped (like warm complimentary bread rolls with meals) but 2 course with wine deal is still good value and the food is always outstanding.

Our lunch party of 12 ladies for a birthday celebration all enjoyed their mains, after sharing a delicious haloumi and foccacia with dips. Thank you for allowing me to bring the champagne! We sat outside on the terrace, which was perfect. Nice and quiet so we could chat in comfort. There was a varied choice of mains and salads to choose from. Would definitely recommend Good Grace

Steak night was great! Quality fresh food and amazing friendly accommodating staff. Group of 10 were looked after so well. Dining staff made sure we organised the birthday cake they brought it out with sparklers and a song. They assisted with a table at the end for the kids to sit and colour in while we ate. Found it was quicker to order drinks from your table than go to the bar! Will definitely return. Thanks for a great experience team!

Nice large cafe but with three sections to choose, it gave us a chance to have a private business meeting catch up without much competing noise. Great food - good range for GF diners.
