    I was kinda disappointed this time. I have visited this café before pandemic (Actually the owners changer during pandemic.) . It was wonderful atmosphere , you hear clasical music and birds sounds. I remember all good memories there. However this time its all gone. I would not go back again.

    The food was delicious and beautifully presented. I highly recommend the raspberry cheesecake! It is so pretty that I almost didn’t want to eat it…but was sooo glad when I did! Great service too.

    Slow to get a table. Good food, but the fudge cake was a bit dry and the croissant bang mi was a little white washed. The location and overall ambiance of the bistro was great.

    The deck outside is wonderful but the Music and vibe is a bar space and so not suitable to a gallery visit with my niece. I sure hope the new gallery will offer a cafe more suitable to a variety of gallery goers. The price point was too high fir students and seniors, constant bar beat too loud for seniors and others, menu limited and quality of food much lower than the price point. Total disappointment.

    All three of us ordered the Avocado and Tomato Eggs Benedict and were very unimpressed with the bread it was served on - apparently focaccia bread. The bread crust was very thick and nearly impossible to cut through and the bread itself felt tough and stale. It was truly a task to cut through which very much took away from the enjoyment of the flavour of the meal as well as our conversation as we were wrestling with our food. Would strongly recommend that you either serve this dish on a croissant or other less tough bread or ensure that the focaccia is fresh and the crust is soft and cut-able.

    What do you mean WHERE to eat? Why not WHY eat there? Anyway, sorry to be picky but thought the question was rather limiting. The staff was excellent, the location superb, the menu a bit short, and the dish I chose - szchezwan (sp) prawns had very few prawns. The bread, while it looked good, was hard as a rock. The meal was not inedible but certainly could be improved. Regardless, I am very glad the Gallery Restaurant is open again and would like it to remain that way. Thanks for a nice time.
