We spotted this eatery as we got to the Entertainment Quarter this afternoon. It was very promising early on with its rustic decor & Campos coffee. We sat down on a Saturday afternoon at about 1:15pm and there was plenty of seating. They have a great outdoors area with big benches to enjoy your food at & plenty of shade & seating indoors if the occasion calls for it.

The menu is very comprehensive with salads, entrees, pizza, pasta, seafood, meats, chicken & the rest. We ordered at the counter & decided to cover off a very interesting selection of foods. I was absolutely captivated by the assorted sweets that they had tucked behind the display case, picking up a vanilla slice, cherry slice, custard donut & rocky road to go with my coffee, but we added a Greek Salad to the meal as well - just to get our nutrients fix.

The coffee & the sweets were out almost instantaneously but the salad didn't come out for another 15 or so minutes.The cakes were beautifully made & delicious in flavour and large enough to satisfy my ruthless sweet tooth. The coffees however, were not as brilliant. They were quite bitter for Campos beans and seemed to be a touch cold when they came out, which was very surprising. Also, the Greek Salad was a touch off as well. There was no real presentation & the added chicken was a touch rubbery. If not for the cakes, the food & coffees were very average.

Although it is a great venue with plenty of room, it lacked any real atmosphere. There was no music & it was awfully quite for Saturday lunch time. Although the staff were helpful & timely, they were quite reserved themselves, which didn't contribute at all to the atmosphere & experience. For these reasons it was just a bit off on this occasion. However, I would recommend this place for groups or families as there is plenty of variety in the menu & space for seating, probably more of a dinner location though.
