Instead I opted for the roasted chicken and a side of crispy potatoes. It took a little longer than expected to arrive but it wasn't outrageously long (almost half an hour). Food was excellent - I was served half a chicken (a bit on the small side) on a bed of corn puree. It was a little over-cooked because it was a bit dry and I was expecting more given the price ($42!). The potatoes were roasted with garlic cloves and rosemary and they really were very crispy, no complaints there. Overall it was quite good. The staff were very professional and attentive; there were a lot of tables but they weren't uncomfortably close together. My only major issue is the pricing and the very loud music. Pretty good but probably not suitable for regular visits given the current cost of living.

The place has a cool, slightly fancy vibe without feeling too formal, and the cocktails were on point. Service was friendly but a bit slow at times.

It's an institution -- it's been here for as long as I can remember. There are some dishes that you absolutely must try: shantung chicken, shantung lamb, the chinese roast duck, honey prawns, hot rock chicken, chicken fillet with macadamia nut and button mushrooms, the sizzling mongolian lamb. It makes my mouth water just thinking about it. You're not paying for fancy decor or white linen table service (in fact, I'm a fan of eating take away) but the food is just something else.

We took home the remainder of the steamed dumplings and we left the last Bbq pork bun. I left my sunnies and picked them up the next day and told them how disappointing the food was.

Being seated in the lower area and dining surrounded by books was lovely. The food itself was not as good as to be expected. It is (or as visible to my family and I) an all day breakfast cafe which was unexpected, but we didn't mind having brunch. The food was not to taste and I personally found the eggs Benedict quite disappointing (far too much meat, of high quality, and the sriracha hollandaise was foamy and tasteless). The big breakfast is good value, however the smaller items appear overpriced for the quality level. No doubt the coffee is amazing as this place is so popular, but I can't recommend paying for the food here. Definitely a place to sit and enjoy coffee in this cafe, however that being said the cafe wasn't very full when I dined here so when noise levels increase it's peaceful appeal would greatly lessen. As a young woman going out to cafe there are quieter places to eat with better food while being surrounded by books.

French toast with berries, compote and marscopone was delicious (if a trifle sweet for me). Toast with poached eggs and avocado was cooked perfectly and served with the freshest lemon.

The smoked trout tortilla is a great, high protein way to start the day, while the sausage and egg brioche burger is a significant upgrade on what you could get at other *ahem* breakfast outlets, with crunchy and fresh tasting bread and a rather delicious onion marmalade. I haven't tried the lemon pancakes but they are on my to-try list. The meals are well presented and just right in portion size. The prices are reasonable in Canberra terms but beware the sides- I paid $3 for the mushrooms, which was literally one medium size mushroom. Be sure to make a reservation as its a popular place, and bring cash if you plan on splitting bills.
