    Way too noisy to enjoy. Tables packed so close together, I couldn't hear myself speak above guests at the neighbouring tables, such was the noise level. The food was nice, but way over priced. I paid $8 for 'an orange juice' which was so watered down it was like a weak orange cordial. By the end I couldn't wait to leave, that was until we sat waving at staff for a good ten minutes, being totally ignored trying to get someones attention to pay.

    Sugar Plum theme my favourite theme so far! Service was good considering how busy the place was … even with an 8:30am booking! We had to wait for our table even though we had an 8:30am booking but the wait wasn’t too long, and the coffees were lukewarm warm on delivery but quickly replaced with hit coffees. Even with proof of payment the “lane way” was so busy, and glad we couldn’t get a later booking as it would have just got worse as the day progressed. Chaotic with soooo many people but loved the theme.

    The atmosphere there was very nice, but even though we had a reservation, we had to wait a long time to be seated and there were too many people to fully enjoy the place.

    Whilst it was nice, I have to say the menu was over priced and we had to send back some of our food. The service was great though
