Good food, good service with only minor negative feedback was the barramundi portion could have been slightly bigger

The organic garden at the Grounds of Alexandria Café, the source of much of the fresh produce used in the kitchen, is augmented by compost made from kitchen scraps. The restaurant’s green efforts also include rewarding its customers for carpooling and cycling: those arriving with four or more in one car get free coffee and valet parking; customers arriving on bicycles all get free coffees.

The experience was incredible. The staff were amazing and attentive, they were able to anticipate what we needed and they knew their stuff. We loved the energy of the staff we came across and there were small touches that made all the difference as well. Thank you to everyone who made out night an absolutely incredible experience.

The food was amazing and the service was second to none. We spent $195 on pork belly entree, potato gnocchi, beef short rib, a cob loaf and 4 glasses of wine. Overall a bit exey but worth it for the standard of food served.
