“ This week makes that last time the café will make milkshakes - so if anyone likes their milkshakes up there, nows the time to get one before they go! ”
“ Great to find somewhere open on Good Friday that served quality food after hours in a beautiful setting with outdoor seating. Bar menu available all afternoon and contained delicious morsels (although not exactly the healthiest of options). We enjoyed the soft shell crab, bbq’d corn (sauce a bit spicey for my wife) but the highlight was the smoked brisket arancini - delicious. ”
“ Amazing buffet breakfast, it came with our room. Did not have dinner here as the prices were outrageous. The view is fantastic across the golf course. We were there at the beginning of winter so everything was frosted and magical in the morning. I am not a fan of the terrible pot coffee though. Amazing everything else. ”
“ The spike bar and cafe is a beautiful restaurant located at The Vintage. A relaxing atmosphere with beautiful food and lovely staff, Isobel and Deanna were most helpful in making my experience enjoyable and memorable. I commend them! I would recommend everyone to go visit the spike bar and cafe when possible! ”
“ Had a nice time here at the hotel bar where we relaxed around the indoor fire. Big shoutout to Mia who was super friendly and profesional. She made our night and was super friendly Thanks ”
“ The Spike Bar Cafe has great coffee. The staff especially Elle, Bonnie and Brooklyn are excellent and are the reason we come back each morning for our daily coffee. Thanks so much girls! ”
“ The best coffee in the Vintage area! All the staff were so lovely and welcoming, and the view of the beautiful golf course made it even better. I highly recommend starting your day here with a good breakfast – I’ll definitely be coming back again :) ”
“ We had lunch here, the southern style chicken burger and steak sandwich. One of the best, juiciest, tender chicken burgers we have ever had, honestly amazing. Steak sandwich was also good, used a nice piece of steak, perfect size and ratio for the whole sandwich, no fat on the steak (alot of steak sandwich had trash fatty minutes steak, this was not the case). The hot chips were also good. Out door seating area has nice views over the golf course as well. Friendly staff. Will be going back. ”
