This place checked all the boxes for my husband and I. It had thoughtful service and great atmosphere, wonderful live music, and delicious food. Price-wise, it was a bit more than we'd usually spend on a meal ($55 for the two of us, no alcohol or other drinks), but since we had been given a gift card for my birthday,... More

The food covers a wide choice and the numbers, of locals as well, found dining reflect the quality. Being elevated helps pass the time as one can peruse the views and plan the next sortie after recharging the batteries. Of course, for those tempted by various culinary delights from the dessert menu, be warned that hills still abound and you... More

Nice place but $6.20 for a normal mug of flat white and $9.50 for a piece of cake is a bit rich! 3 drinks and two bits of cake $35.00 is by far the most expensive cafe I have ever been to. The coffee was Vittoria and was ok. Certainly nothing special. Would not go back! More

Not only paid $105 for 3 lunch plates of salads/sandwiches, but had to wait for more than 40 mins for our 3 drinks (2 softdrinks + 1 glass wine) with them. When our sweet young thing waitress lost our drinks order and had to check back with us to re-order we were ok with her apology as errors happen, but... More

My husband and I came here for late lunch around 1:30 - 2 and the restaurant was still busy which indicated to me that we had made a good choice in coming here for lunch. We had to sit inside as the alfresco tables with a view where either reserved ( due to an upcoming art gallery next door, which... More

We went for tea, coffee and scones. We were seated, given menus and 10 mins later our order was taken, 30 minutes after that it came and there was nothing wrong with the quality. We did ask about the progress of the order at one point but were assured it was on it's way. after we finished I went and... More

I am sorry to say that I wasn't impressed with this place, it is cute and clean but the service was not very good, the two waitresses that were on we're not very friendly and I had to ask twice for a glass of water. They were not busy with only a third of the tables filled, yet it took... More

I tend to always end up at Poets when I go to Montville. The food is always really nice and the views are gorgeous. It's got a lovely atmosphere and you can sit either inside our out. The only slight negative is the service can sometimes be a little slow, particularly if they're busy. More
