We have not been here for a couple of years so thought we would return to see how it was. Unfortunately not great, while it is a spectacular location there are several things that do not match this.
1. Customer service, there was one super friendly waitress who took our order the others did not match her helpfulness and instead choose to spend chatting with friends or regulars to the detriment of other customers.
2. The wait, being patient clearly isn’t rewarded here . We waited to the side and watched 2 other parties (walk ups not bookings) be seated before having to ask again Twice for a table. The 25 minutes wait for a table should have prompted the alarm bells.
3. The outside area, I would question if it is ‘COVID safe’ with tables crammed together and unfortunately in the shade and cold! Sitting outside on a sunny day was not a warm affair.
4. Food quality, the breakfast roll was always a favourite of mine but both had massive cores of lettuce and hardly any bacon and additions (avocado) was forgotten, the other parts of the banana bread never came. Instead the waitress chose to socially chat to the the table next door as per point 1
5. Kids menu, they simply don’t cater for kids. Admittedly the waitress was helpful and polite in deconstructing the $15 banana bread to make it more kid friendly but it’s not great for kids.
6. Value for money, it’s expensive for what it is, when you pay more you expect more and I do not think this provides more in comparison to
what else is in Mentone/Parkdale/Mordy
Overall I would not recommend this place and think it is still very disappointing. See less
