Okay so doesn’t sound that different than I was expecting, we can book a table for food once we get inside .

Yes we were there last week on a weekday and the queue was about 10 minutes to get in. Be aware that they're operating a one way system, so you cannot walk straight into the cafe. You have to walk all the way around to get to it. Plus, as others have said, you should pre-book your cafe reservation online if you can. We had to wait in line, only to be told that we couldn't come in for another 45 minutes. We saw many people turned away and just give up.

If you choose to eat in, you cannot get your own food. You go up and order it and then they bring you your order to the table. We waited about 20 minutes for our food to arrive and it wasn't even busy, so be prepared to wait.
