Here is another nice surprise…read more The place was packed, well that's a good sign and the tables were far enough apart that was fairly easy to have private conversations. I ordered the senior's steak for $13.00 that came with complimentary garlic bread. It was delicious. With lovely views from the dining room and extremely friendly and helpful staff I will definitely be going back.

The orange almond cake was moist and not too dense: very nice. The frittata was a bit bland and missed a stronger flavored ingredient. In short, a decent place to sit and chill, but we weren't blown away by the food.

So as a birthday present to my girlfriend (and maybe myself too :P) I decided to book out a two hour double package. No doubt this place is expensive but it is also amazing so you won't find yourself whinging about it afterwards. The service is professional and friendly and the grounds and gardens are incredible. It was all in all a very warm and relaxing atmosphere and memorable experience topped of with a glass of complimentary champagne in the gardens at the end. The actual massages were fantastic and probably the best I've ever had. My girlfriend loved it as a present and was very grateful.... Winning
