Expected terrible tasting food and great surprise not just service was fabulous but food was amazing. Fish fresh and delicious Scampi meal brilliant and enough for fool meal Kids chicken nuggets a little bit disappointing as same as McDonalds there you wonder if it ever been anywhere near chicken lol, but on the bright side little one ate it without objection because it's like McDonalds

Very delicious! Had a great time with the wife and my friend dan, over looking the whole park, lovely sun trap, cool breeze, and great service! Very nice walk to there, and ordered some items we normally don't get but was worth a try and we wasn't disappointed! Very clean and tidy, disabled friendly, easy menu's! Plenty of drinks to pick from! Same as the food...Will be coming back again soon! Yum yum.... 5*

Excellent food with a limited choice but well worth the location. Waiter/ waitress service best I have experienced in years. Hot and cold drinks are good.

We wanted somewhere not too expensive but still with great food for our lunch today and we came across the ‘Terrace Cafe’ hidden away in the park. The food was delicious and they were really helpful with our dietary requirements for vegan, vegetarian and gluten free. The service was excellent and the atmosphere was wonderful. Our waitress was amazing as well. Overall it was a great experience!

What a great little find this gem of a place is, after walking up the steep path, over the bridge, from the lower gardens, towards the new bird house. The range of drinks and eats is wide, although we only had pistachio iced coffee and cake on this visit, just want we needed after the steep walk, to help cool us down, but we plan to go back tomorrow for lunch and try their wonderful plater’s. Unfortunately it was raining at the time of our visit, but they had a huge umbrella up, and comfortable cushioned chairs out, with a lovely view of the lower gardens and the new bird cage, when it’s opened. I’m happy to recommend it.

Decided to stop here for lunch yesterday due to a warm welcome from the friendly staff. I was checking there was gluten free options available and I was in luck! I opted for a smoked Salmon and prawn salad it was literally the BEST food I’ve ever tasted so much flavour! I cant find the menu to find out the sauce it was delicious!!! My mum had the burger and it was cooked to perfection. Great location clean inside and the staff were very attentive and friendly. Overall the best meal we had on our holiday! Made our day and we didn’t want dinner! I was advised of a gluten free pizza so don’t delay if you have the same allergy! :) thanks again! When I come back I will definitely be eating here again! I think the photos speak for themselves.
