This is a high brow restuarant, also in the heart of Lagos. Full of activities and table meetings. The food is good, the reception and ambience is welcoming and the staff are polite. The sea food seems to be of a specialty here, you can go ahea and enjoy. This is lagos

The cafe looks interesting, but once you order the cakes, it was awful. I ordered an opera, and it tasted like black soya. I never returned after that. Just stick with Eko hotel buffet's chocolate tart or other cakes.

It is a bit more basic than you might expect. The cakes and coffee are reasonable but the play equipment is a bit dated and a strange combination of sports and playground units.

If you need a cake in a hurry, this is the place to come. They will even bake you a bespoke one same day. The restaurant is however somewhat dated and service is not great.

Seating badly laid out, customer service seriously lacking. The cafe is quite possibly the best part of the experience.

Great venue with fantastic views. Food is a bit of a disapointment. Overall impression of the premises is one of faded glory. It needs a revamp of the menu and a general refurbishment.
