If you want to go somewhere quiet and leafy, then this cafe is the place to be. You can go look for some plants and trees for your garden and when you're tired, you can unwind at the cafe.

I highly recommend the breakfast degustation. It is delicious and helps you not having to agonize which dishes to get because they all sound amazing.

Approximate cost: $100

This is a very cosy restaurant. In the colder part of the year, they use the fire, which creates an ambient and smokey atmosphere. The food tastes amazing. Make sure you book in advance for dinner.

The decor looks very modern and it's something that caught my eyes as I walked in the restaurant. The food is Japanese but most of them have a modern or fusion twist to them. I definitely recommend this place and the staff are all super friendly and helpful.

This is a great cafe to go to if you want to enjoy having great food with a great scenery. Given it is a nursery, there are lots of trees and plants surrounding the cafe and it makes the atmosphere very enjoyable to have lunch with your loved ones and friends.

Personally, I was hard-pressed to decide the dish for entree, main and dessert. Luckily, I went with my partner and we were able to get different dishes to maximise our experience.

I highly recommend the White chocolate parfait, chocolate fudge, caramel banana,
peanut crumble as dessert.

Approximate cost: $28

My partner and I went to this restaurant on a Friday night. The atmosphere was bubbly, with lots of people and music. However, it was not noisy - it had the right level of vibe that still allowed you to have a conversation with no awkward silence.

We ordered some Mezze dishes to share and I ordered a Chargrilled lamb shish dish. They were all delicious. Full of flavour. All staff were very friendly.

I had dinner at this place with my partner the other night. I really like the atmosphere and decor. The thai food tasted yummy and we were very happy with the friendly staff. I would definitely go back for another dinner night.

This restaurant is located right on the harbour. There are plenty of outside sitting to enjoy the excellent view on a sunny day. We really enjoyed the food - it was delicious. One of the stand out dishes for us was the prawn martini. They also had other great and exotic sounding dishes that we are keen to go back to try next time. The staff were friendly and quite helpful when we couldn't decide what dishes we should order.

This could have been such a promising cafe, but failed on many grounds.

We were seated and had no menu for 10 minutes (actually, it was only after ten minutes that we got fed up that we got no menu and had to ask for the menu). We waited 50 minutes for our food. I'm drawing to this point because we did not get cutleries this entire time. What was extremely bizarre was that one of the waitress was putting them for empty tables. When the food came, I was patiently waiting for cutleries, but she was going to walk away and I had to explicitly ask for them.

The food was also extremely disappointing, the beef dish was slightly tender, but lacked sauce, which made the meat taste really dry.

I ordered a seafood platter, the prawn was really bad quality and the batter was thick on the fish and calamari.

One of us ordered coffee and cake and they brought out the coffee 25 minutes after we made the order, but the cake did not come out for another 15 minutes.

The only silver lining was the view. It was really picturesque, but that is all I could say about this place.

It's a great place for fine dining. Perfect for a date. They have good quality and interesting food. It's near the lake, so there is great view. I particularly recommend this place if you are going for fireworks
