Don't underestimate this out-of-the-way cafe set on a Macadamia farm!
Went a month ago for Wednesday lunch ( ... joined my mother on one of her seniors bus outing days)
With only 1 person as front of house (as well as being the waitress) and 1 chef in the kitchen, servicing and cooking for an entire bus-load of people (plus other sundry customers) they did very well indeed!
Food: 5 / 5
Really, really, darn good. Portions were on-target. Taste, presentation, and individual dish components were fantastic. Quality of produce top-notch. Priced very well.
A variety of dishes were all cooked to order - with full attention to quality - which meant of course that there was some waiting involved but the dishes were fantastic and fresh.
The group all had great feedback on food taste and quality including the below items:Thai beef saladChicken saladOmeletteEggs BenedictPan friend chicken livers
Macadamia cake with yoguhrt
... plus others i cant specifically remember
I also had the pan fired chicken livers ... Fantastic. Chicken livers can go so wrong if not cared for! They can end up overcooked and tough, or raw ... These were perfect. Cooked just right and creamy on the inside. I'll be back for sure! Credit to the chef!!! Yum
Service was very caring and attentive; even though she was completely run off her feet for a full 2 hours she remained cheerful and attentive ... As mentioned, timing for dishes out weren't great; but let's face it with only 2 staff, the alternative is food that is rushed and sub-quality . So again, with a sizeable group and only 1 chef, some waiting was understandably required. But well worth it for great food.
I'm sure any other day with usual amounts of customers will see certainly dishes coming out at faster speeds.
Location/Setting: The indoor cafe itself is quite utilitarian but the outdoor seating with country surroundings and outlook is lovely.
All in all, well worth coming for some good nosh!
