    An absolutely wonderful experience from beginning to end. The booking, service, ambience and did I mention service, was outstanding. The vegan savoury course hit the mark. The sweets were a little lacklustre and I was disappointed that there was only one vegan option on the cake buffet. But other than that 10 out of 10!

    This was our third time spending a birthday at Mount Nelson. We were so excited for the scones and they were nothing like the previous two times - cold/seemed stale and much smaller. Not sure why. Two of the cakes were also finished and werent replenished probably because we had the last slot of the day. We will choose an early slot next time, maybe its different. Service was amazing as always.
