When we arrived the restaurant had not received our booking through open table and therefore we did not get the table that we had chosen. They said that “It hadn’t come through”. When I said that the menu on open table was different to the actual menu they said that the previous manager had used a password that they didn’t have and that they were unable to change it and nor were they able to upload the current menu.

Lovely food, well presented and delicious. Good value for money. It was very busy and we felt another 2 staff members would have made a huge difference. The waitress was lovely and cheerful, but there were way too many customers for just 1 waitress. Overall, we enjoyed our meal and would return.

We visited cafe woodwork two weeks ago with my father and then again yesterday with my mother-in-law. Both times were extremely impressed with the menu which is new and very extensive. The quality of food was excellent. The service was amazing given that they were so busy nothing was too much trouble. The processes were exceptionally reasonable and we will definitely be back.

Great place to dine in. If you have visiting family and friends, bring them here for a nice experience, it’s an easy drive from Canberra, after the nice meal there are shops to explore.
