Tripadvisor’s approach to reviews
Before posting, each Tripadvisor review goes through an automated tracking system, which collects information, answering the following questions: how, what, where and when. If the system detects something that potentially contradicts our community guidelines, the review is not published.
When the system detects a problem, a review may be automatically rejected, sent to the reviewer for validation, or manually reviewed by our team of content specialists, who work 24/7 to maintain the quality of the reviews on our site.
Our team checks each review posted on the site disputed by our community as not meeting our community guidelines.
Learn more about our review moderation.

Had breakfast solo and returned for brunch with my wife. Both meals were just delicious. Hardly surprising when l recognised the owner Monique who, with her husband had the sensational Lochiel House in the Blue Mountains. 2 S.M.H. Hats.

While I realise I had to pay a premium for a holiday weekend, I did expect to be told why I had to pay $6.27 for a soy flat white in my own keep cup. 5 female workers looked busy but somehow I still had...to wait 25 minutes for my coffee. Take always didn’t get priority over the cafe orders here. And the staff had the audacity to tell me I had to wait outside. Rude. AND, the coffee was awful.More

The tartine was an absolute stand out - unusual and delicious, especially for a hot day. The staff were amazing considering how under the pump they were.

I was not expecting to enjoy food so much! Stopped in on my way to Jervis Bay. I can highly recommend the Chef’s Omelette with Australian Parmesan, broccolini, olives and hazelnuts. The sourdough is so good and topped off with amazing great coffee. Service was...great even though they were busy (all extremely safe and following covid rules too). I will be back!More

I’m not sure if the limited menu is because of the current lockdowns but there were few options. The first waitress that served me was quite rude and the food was OK. I won’t be back here in a hurry.

Enjoyed a most enjoyable breakfast with my wife and daughter on a busy Saturday morning. It was so good we returned the next day. Eggs Fu Yung and the Tartine were the stand out dishes with the bacon and egg roll not far behind.. Great...coffee and tea complimented our experience. Grabbed some Miso sourdough and scones for home on the way out. The bread was delicious and the scones almost, almost as good as mums! Service was attentive and engaging on both occasions. Looking forward to visiting again.More

The food and service was excellent. They were able to change the hotdog to suit my 4 year old and he loved it. Food was amazing, autumn salad was delicious and some ingredients were even from their garden.

CUSTOMER SERVICE is KEY to any Business and this one holds the WORST I have had in years! The owner was very rude and discriminate and was not accomodating at all. Some staff were friendly but most are not - they dont know how to...smile at all. Keep working on your customer service classes please!More
