Review summary

AI-generated from verified diner reviews

The Grounds of Alexandria Cafe offers a "magical" experience with beautifully themed decor and "delicious" food. While service can be "fantastic," the venue's popularity means it often gets crowded, affecting service speed. The "stunning" displays and charming ambiance make it a "must-visit" spot, though booking in advance is recommended.

Waiters were not at all enthusiastic, food came out quick but was not big portions. I asked about certain menu options I’d seen in instagram and our waiter was quite rude with her response. Prawn tacos for $25 contained just 3 prawns! We were seated next to staff desk with computer and eftpos etc which was fine until my daughters got bumped multiple times. Was busy today but everything felt rushed and chaotic. Snow White walk through had way too many ppl to actually enjoy even though it did look pretty.

We went to the Grounds for lunch today and to see the Snow White installation. The staff were lovely and the food was delicious (if slightly overpriced). The instillation was beautiful but over crowded due to it being the weekend.

Great place with beautifully presented and tasty food. Reasonable prices, and service was excellent. The trip through the Disney themed gardens afterwards was well worth the trip!
