    The indoor dining room at Van Loon's was a comfortable room in which to have lunch when we visited Van Loon's to purchase plants for our garden. The menu listed a good variety of meals to select from. The meals we enjoyed were delicious and were served promptly. While eating diners can enjoy views into parts of the nursery at Van Loon's.

    It was a wet, cold morning but staff were helpful and friendly and served us very enthusiastically. I was able to have a blanket later in the time as it turned quite cold. Lovely new staff member was fabulous at checking information about a dish for me due to an allergy. Very much appreciated.

    Beautiful place to dine or coffee - the cakes were quite pricey - with no prices shown - but didn’t take away from our morning. Staff are friendly and attentive.

    Getting quite expensive to enjoy lunch there. Sorry to say I probably won’t be back any time soon. Food is great as always. Just very expensive

    We had to wait 45 minutes for our food. We had to ask twice about when it would arrive. Dirty utensil, only forks provided as knives still in dishwasher. Then we we had to get our own when our food arrived. Disappointing staff not able to pre-empt customer needs. (We understand it was a public holiday). However, the food was enjoyable.

    Met up with some old friends today at van loons. So upset and disappointed. A table next to us had 14 kids. All yelling and running around non stop for the entire time. Couldn’t hear or talk to my friends. Really disappointed and sadly won’t be back. The food was lovely and the service good but this should never have happened. Felt sorry for the staff as they couldn’t do anything!
