Just had the most amazing time in the outside Dome experience. $135 each for two hours of set menu and two cocktails. Amazing food. Chef was so accommodating to my Coeliac GF menu. I really can’t thank him enough for being so generous and making my own meals to enjoy with my friend too. Only complaint would be not all cocktails were available and for an establishment like this you would expect the full bar to be stocked.

Booked here for high tea and found the staff to be very accommodating and kind, and wanting to help make it a special event for us. The food was lovely and the service from wait staff on the day was very good as well. There was a bit of a misunderstanding regarding a nut allergy, but they made a lot of effort to fix the issue and make up for it. Overall, I really enjoyed coming here and would definitely go again.

The experience was really enjoyable, the 'domes' created a truly wonderful atmosphere, and the staff were attentive and friendly. For the 6 of us however, the menu (although it looked awesome on paper) was fairly lacking in its delivery ...... we would encourage management to review this, both in relation to the 'rushing' of each course, as well as the quality of each dish which was placed before us. We feel that, with a little improvement on the quality of courses, plus more 'overall' attention to detail, a greater evening could be created for guests. However, we still had a fun time catching up with our friends!

Mum and I recently enjoyed the Icky Sticky High Tea at Ms Mary and it was absolutely wonderful! Every detail, from the beautifully presented food to the impeccable service, made for a truly special afternoon. Each dish was delicious — you could really taste the quality and care that went into everything. The coffee was incredible — honestly the best I’ve ever had! The staff were warm, welcoming, and attentive, making the whole experience even better. We thoroughly enjoyed every moment and can’t wait to come back. Highly recommend Ms Mary for anyone looking for a memorable high tea (and amazing coffee!) experience!

Booked here for the winter dome experience. The ambience and service were so fantastic. Loved the set menu so you could just relax and chat. The starters and desert were the stars, mains got cold quite quickly but still delicious. Cocktails were great. Plenty of food! You won’t leave hungry. The “fireplace” in the dome keeps you nice and warm, even on a cold evening.
