The Lab

Went to the Chandon High Tea with the girls and had a fabulous time. We were pleasantly surprised by the amount of delicious food served and the great service. My wine flute and water glass weren't empty once, with the prompt refilling from the staff. Was a great expereince and will definitely go again.

Breakfast at The Lab is a refined event. The staff are welcoming, and the service they provide is top-class. The food is excellent, and the portion sizes are perfect. The decor fits with the heritage of the building. While dining here, you can only imagine what stories these walls could tell.

We went twice to Ryan's on the park bar with a group friend. We all loved the atmosphere and room set-up, it is nice to sit down in a place without any noise background.
The staff is very efficient and friendly, didn't have to wait long for a drink.
Highly recommended!

Afternoon high tea was a lovely event. A wonderful selection of treats paired with a choice of fine teas. We celebrated a family 80th birthday here and the team surprised us with a plate of chocolates and round of happy birthday to recognise the occasion. Thanks for a fantastic afternoon.

I booked for the Spring Racing High Tea.
The food was really good. Full of flavour, & definitely fresh.
I cannot fault the service, our waiter returned plenty of times to refill our glasses. And only once did we have to flag someone down so we could have coffee/tea.
My one complaint would be, that we had booked approximately 1 month before. We booked the cheaper version ( so not the bottomless champagne), on arrival, our waiter asked if we would like champagne, so we said yes, not realising that this would be the dearer version & not just a complimentary single glass. Management needs to have their staff be aware of what we have booked, OR should check to see if parties want an upgrade

Really nice restaurant with delicate decor and reasonable price. We ordered 2 café, 1 hot cake and 1 vegetarian breakfast. The food are beautiful and taste good. The staffs are friendly as well. Just feel one is over friendly asking us a little bit private questions like which visa we have , are we students or residents, what’s kind of job we do for living...which we feel too many information in our chat.

Maybe give this a read before you decide to book.

We were quiet exited at first, but it just went downhill from there.

The service was extremely bad, not only did they ignore us but when they handed the menus to us with such an attitude.

Definitely consider being nicer to customers since they pay not only for the food but also service.

The scones were dry and crumbly (I can crack a walnut with them scones), the chocolate desserts tasted like they’ve been in the fridge for a week, the bread for the sandwiches were as dry as cardboard, the tea was weak and runny.

Service here was really good. I came here for hotcake by the photos shown on the website, not impressive, and was also average, but a big serve, I was so full with my strawberry hotcake. Don’t order too many as they don’t offer take away service😅Environment was nice in this heritage style building.
Btw, the entrance is on the George street (intersection of the George Street and Charlotte street)
