No having to ask for more avo, they were very generous with fillings and I didn't feel bad for asking for extra jalapeño and beetroot. Would definitely stop there again. The staff was friendly and helpful. The younger asian woman even asked if I was really allergic to gluten or just intolerant, how attentive. The bathroom was very clean.

I ordered the Big Breakfast and it arrived - but they hadn't asked me how I wanted my eggs cooked! This is especially upsetting as the cost is not exactly cheap. The meal came without napkins and there were none on any of the tables. Salt and pepper shakers were on maybe three of the more than dozen tables. Service was poor - the lady saw me approach and ignored me to work on making a coffee. Another guy finally served me but he was from the kitchen and it looked like a huge inconvenience to him to have to attend to me. Customer service isn't difficult but you have to want to do it - it seems the people here are more concerned with getting the money than giving the service.

I was hoping to do better for vegan options than a few sides and salads. They offer a "Vegan Power" salad - which seemed promising. It arrived at my table - nicely shaved carrot, fennel and arugula - drowned in a tasteless, overly oily dressing - the flavor of the carrot and arugula vanished. Only the Granny Smith apples that weren't dressed had any punch. I also had an order of vegetarian spring rolls which were over cooked and flavorless -- the French fries were ok but ... come on: you can do better than a tasteless salad or falafel plate and French fries for vegans, Manakato! There wasn't even a vegan entree.

The outside seating gives a sense of serenity but only if there aren't screaming children around. The mushrooms on toast were delicious. Nothing to fault, and they even mixed in caramelised onions, which just gave the dish a point of difference and lifted the flavours in the dish. The bread was a good thickness to soak up the cream and overall the seasoning was spot on. No complaints on the corn fritters. The hot chocolate was something different. You actually mix the choc into the hot milk yourself upon being served. My friend said it was fine but its Both dishes were a great portion size, which are great value for money. They were really busy and the wait for the meals were long but it was New Years Eve and they did mention this upon ordering.

I was excited to see that it had been taken over again and we popped in for Fish n Chips before heading out to Omaha Beach. Sadly it was a bit disappointing. We ordered 2 pieces of fish; the Hoki was the cheapest but they'd run out so we went for the snapper instead at $6.50 a piece. A scoop of chips later, a small pot of aioli and a milkshake, we parted with $18. That wouldn't have been so bad if the quality was really good, but everything was just ok. The fish was fresh, but batter was a bit bland (and no slice of lemon ). It was a good serving of chips, but no salt. And the aioli, just a little wee pot for $3 was a bit sad. So overall it was all ok, but just missed those little extras (salt and sauce) to make it a brilliant feed of Fish n Chips

It's the little things that let them down but overall visiting them is a somewhat pleasant experience.
