👍👍 Such a beautiful venue for a wedding! I have attached over 30 pictures for reference. The parking is at the back: $30 until 4pm, and only $10 after 4pm :) The exterior is very well maintained. The wedding that I shot there had a little over 100 guests, and they all fit under cover very happily. We...

👍👍 Went there this summer for a wedding. The space is like a blank canvas, you can design as much as you like, or keep the simplicity of the raw open space. I like the interior very much. The staff is also very helpful and food is very tempting and delicious. What an amazing venue for a wedding.

👍👍 Despite having previously lived in the area, I'd never visited this architectural gem and interesting art exhibition. Well worth it. The Cafe is very good. Great service.

😠 Unfortunately I have to give 1 star to write a review, but 1 star is being very generous. Waited over 1 hour and 45 minutes for our mains and as they still couldn't tell us when they would be ready we walked out, the employees on that night couldn't be bothered to serve their guest, more interested...
