Went for a weekend breakfast. Was not busy (maybe 8-12 other people there) but wait staff were too busy chatting to come and take our order. Once we got their attention ordered bircher muesli, they'd run out. So instead ordered porridge with poached stone fruits and brown sugar and english breakfast tea. Firstly cold tea arrived after about 20 minutes. Then barely warm porridge with 2 small slices of poached pear. When I questioned the waitress she stated that pear was a stone fruit. When I questioned this the waitress huffed off rudely muttering under her breath.

A beautiful location but poor unprofessional service and average to below average food. With plenty of great cafes at Balmoral and its surrounds I would not recommend this place.
