"We ordered drinks from the cafe. The coffee was served in small clear insulated plastic cups. It was weak and pretty tasteless and expensive for the small serving. It also wasn’t hot enough. What a disappointment. We took our drinks upstairs to admire the view. The view was excellent but we won’t waste our money on coffee again."

Arrived deliberately early for ballet to relax with tea and something to eat in lovely cafe space. It was cold, the tables and counter areas were sticky and dirty and despite being very well staffed the service was very poor. A pot of tea translated to a very large double walled plastic beaker with no handle into which a teabags was dumped by disinterested staff. Sugar and milk is d- I-y, despite prices. The tea tasted revolting in the beaker. Moving on to the upper bar/cafe area we switched to coffee which was good- served in a cafetiere. However, again the tables were sticky, it was chilly and staff again stood around chatting loudly rather than serving customers. Cakes and sandwiches are reasonable quality but on the small side and very expensive. All in all a most disappointing experience. Why so many staff and such poor customer service and surroundings?
we booked for afternoon tea and it is a fabulous venue. The service was good also the pastries. We got 4 very small sandwiches. The scones were small served with a small pot of jam and 1 small scoop of cream on one plate for 2 people. We asked for more and were told they only make enough for each booking. It was very poor value. Aside from the views dont waste your time or money as you can find better value elsewhere.
Very nice staff , this ground floor restaurant with access ramp for the disabled serves the best gluten free and vegan cakes . At £20 for 3 , the quality of the food was excellent , and was much better than some crowded Costa with mass-produced food . Tables were well-spaced . And of course , the excellent opera house is there . The revived opera shop is to be recommended .
This beautiful setting for Madama Butterfly is flawless, the old world look of the older dining area to the new restaurant made of glass paneling looks stunning. The production was truly magnificent with ticket prices ranging from about £12 standing room up to about £175 per ticket. Book as far in advance as possible, though you can sometimes get returns on the day.
