Tomah Gardens At Blue Mountains Botanic Garden

Cauliflower suppe excellent cured trout look exceptionally perfect price high but worth it service casual but friendly this place is cozy and we really recommend to visit for lunch.

It pains me that I have to write this review and rate it. The experience from the start was terrible the staff are not professional and does not understand basic hospitality and customer service!! I cannot believe they still have their jobs where the heck is the owner?! The lady at the front was rude and not interested in serving Customers like a real business! The place was queuing with people to be seated but to be refused, even though there was empty tables inside that still had the previous plates or empty tables outside that the lady said it would be really hot to sit at. Yes the tables are hot and attract the sun and there's no awning. But does it really matter at the end of the day its the Customers decision if they want to sit out there! Again, if it was a real business it should of invested in better outdoor tables and an awning to maximise business! All the wait staff was running around like it was busy, but this place doesn't even seat many how would they have handle a full house?! Food was sooo expensive for what it was but surprising it actually tasted good and was of high quality! The menu is so small and prices are really ridiculous! Its unfortunate as this place could have potential! Guess they can charge and treat everyone like that as really its the only place to eat in there! Would not recommend this place at all and would not visit it again! The 1.5 rating is only for the actual food itself and that's it!

OMG! I haven 't been to a place like this one! Me and my friends (10 of us) went to this cafe or restaurant coz the view is very nice. We saw that the review on google is 2.7 but we still went as we wanted the view and maybe we can prove it wrong. BUT, the service is seriously TERRIBLE..10 of us arrived and ask if we can sit outside, the lady said we can 't coz it 's full, BUT there is no one there, maybe five people the most.. So she told us she will make a table for us inside, well she did, and after 10 mins, nobody told us that our table is ready, so we went to sit ourselves in the table provided for us. for 45 mins, we are waiting for waiter to ask our order even just coffee or any sort of drinks but no one came, so we told the lady that we 're ready to order,she then said to my friend, ok just a second with a bit of insulting look. so after 5 mins she came back with pen and paper... We are so hungry at that time coz we travelled 2.5 hours just to go there without eating food, to our disgust, we just ordered coffee and left. Coffee is not even good at all, it was burned... I am so sorry, but this place needs help. Customer service is soooo poor and staff have no etiquette. No one smiles at this place, staff are talking to each other like there 's no customer. What a shame coz the biew is really good... That 's all that 's good.. better bring your own food. as you can see at the picture, the cafe is a bit empty. The view is nice, and 10 customers? imagine how much money we 'll spend... NOT RECOMMENDED AT ALL!!!

Tomah Gardens is a gorgeous cosy restaurant I hold good memories of. Perched atop one of the higher points of the Botanic Gardens, its a pretty spot to treat yourself after an earthly explore. I've found the service a little missing from time to time, and I think staff expect commitment to a long lunch with big meals for all, which isn't always the case. I suspect there are also in the same boat who do not know the restaurant exists, pack some snacks for the visit and then decides later to pop in for a coffee and cake. In winter, the restaurant is beautiful and warm inside, and it often gets windy out on the deck. Otherwise, in the warmer months pick a spot outside to overlook the grounds. The coffee is actually pretty reasonable here, and I've experienced of the best, simplest asparagus and broad bean salads I will not forget. The menu is a little higher end, and although to some extent there is value here, I can understand most of the market here won't see that.

We only had Tea and Scones here, perhaps a little expensive we didn't mind too much because we supposed it goes toward the up keep of the botanic gardens which are free to visit. The Blue berry scones were delicious and great Tea too. Nil problems with the service.
