Ate downstairs in the almost empty restaurant section, which meant we could talk easily, but also meant that service was dependent on when someone came down from upstairs. Our plates of food were a bit hit and miss, the mixed char-grilled sausages was tasty and enjoyed, but the potato salad that came with the swiss schnitzel was mushy and half was left. With an Entertainment book voucher, it's good value, but without, too expensive.

Definitely worthy of the good reviews. Everything we ate was delicious and I'm looking forward to going back and trying more. Only just squeezed in at 6:30pm with no booking, so it's advisable to book. Don't expect much, ambience-wise, and you won't be disappointed!

Well-executed, authentic Cantonese food. Ambience is lacking, but despite being a 'hole-in-the-wall', they take bookings, and it's advisable to book unless you're going to eat super-early. Service is friendly and value is good.

Went for lunch with an all-you-can-eat deal. Food isn't too bad, but not worth returning for considering the ambience and service are practically non-existent.

The tartine and hot main we had (quiche lorraine) weren't anything to write home about, but do satisfy a lunch craving, but the belgian waffles are superb! Honey, cinnamon, chocolate, fruit and ice cream are definitely a perfect midday pick-me-up.

We went on the Sunset dinner cruise and really enjoyed it. The food is passable, but nothing special (although desserts were yum), but the view, service, and experience are great. Make sure you give yourself time to enjoy the top deck after eating!

Driving through Leura on a Friday night we decided to trust the people who were filling Leura Garage, and so were glad to snag the last indoor table. Seating is tight, but this doesn't detract from a nice vibe.

Food is great and really enjoyable, although if you're not huge eaters you can probably get away with three tapas dishes between two people, rather than the suggested four.

Only downside was our waiter. Others seemed to be on the ball and friendly, but ours had an attitude and was too busy chatting to pay attention to his section. Poor form.

Years and years ago I would go to Janeks specifically for their amazing muffins. Both the sweet options we got on a recent trip weren't exciting, and it's now no longer on my 'must visit' list when in Bowral.

Entree (stuffed zucchini flowers) got us excited because it was fabulous, but then we were let down by the mains, which weren't executed as well as they should have been. Food is expensive but the view is stunning and the service is good.

Had a tapas lunch here and really enjoyed the food. The turkish bread with dukkah, and the greek meatballs were my favourites. Sitting at a table on the footpath was lovely and relaxing, but some of the service staff have a bit of an attitude and let the place down.
