   The Grounds of Alexandria is my favourite cafe to visit when I come to Sydney, but is it getting busy and this is not without its down points. There is very often a large crowd, and navigating your way through all the Insta snappers can be tedious. On today’s visit, the service was excellent, as is the usual experience. Everyone from the lemonade man to the parking attendants to security and the servers - they were all friendly, efficient and welcoming. The food - came out in reasonable time given how busy it was, but our fries and my dory sandwich were pretty much cold. Usually I’d say the food is excellent, today it was average. The Snow White theme is pretty, well worth a look. I bought some roses from the florist, they’re beautiful and were well presented. The thing I least enjoy about this venue is the toilets. They’re dark/not well lit and not very clean. The seat in the middle stall was only hanging on by one screw and when sat on, slid off the porcelain bowl.

   Overall pretty good. The food was good, but we got there at 3pm and a lot of the cakes were sold out, but the one we ordered was still good. So tip for anyone going is to go earlier than we did.

   We found one of the staff members who was quite rude. It wasn’t the best experience.

   Food was delicious. However we waited 10 minutes for a table even with a booking. We also waited 30 minutes for our food. The service was excellent. Wish there more toilets there was only one in the restaurant which has a seating capacity of easily over 100 people.

   Such a great experience today, went for breakfast 2 adults 2 kids . Menu was great including the options on the kids menu. Can’t wait to go back. Great friendly staff too and skipped the queue by booking in advance. It’s a 10/10 for me!

   It wasn’t an enjoyable experience, the staff were miserable, and unengaging. The food was overpriced and not even that nice. It was busy which was expected during Easter, but the entire experience lacked the hype and we left disappointed and unlikely to visit again.

    The food was delicious, The display was Snow White, you were pretty. But there were so many people that it wasn't very relaxing. I highly recommend visiting on a weekday rather than on the weekend.
