Good depending on the day…read more Have eaten here 4-5 times and each time the quality and service varies. Drinks are especially expensive, with bottled premix spirits (Such as Jack Daniels) being $13AUD, but the food is well priced and the specials are excellent value. There are nibbles served during 5-7pm on a Friday to accompany your drinks which is a nice touch. There is a members club card available which gets you a dollar off each of the specials and other deals but not much value to be gained there, and despite stating "All drinks" the specials do not apply to bottle premix drinks. Service is a mixed bag with waiters very good, attentive and efficient but some individual bar staff can be downright rude. Cocktails are excellent and about the right price for what you receive and a good selection is on offer. Lunches are good value and are usually very well made, the food cannot be falted. Good for catching up on Friday nights and for lunches and dinners. After around 10pm the entire venue changes its tune to become a nightclub.

Day 1 - We had a very enjoyable lunch for two comprising the "Pickled Sisters Vineyard Platter"…read more - with Rutherglen Muscat & chicken liver pate, homemade chicken terrine & chutney, smoked salmon with herbed sour cream, spiced eggplant, Gooramadda olives, Milawa cheese 26.50 - plus Formichi prosciutto & salami, smoked salmon & horseradish mousse, Boosey Creek cheese, mushrooms a la grecque, Wicked Virgin extra virgin olive oil & more! 40 Day 2 - We returned the following morning to collect the wine selection and paused for a enjoyable coffee in the cafe. On both visits, the service was friendly and efficient. I could not fault our Vineyard Platter in presentation or quality.

So I decided perhaps I would just take a seat and wait to be waited upon, as there was no sign indicating which was the appropriate action. Whilst waiting I was finally noticed by one of the staff, who approached me and asked if she could help me. I then asked if it was ok to sit here and she waved her hands and shook her head and said no we are fully booked. Please note that there were no signs anywhere indicating this let alone reserved signs on any tables. I left feeling very embarrassed, as if I had just been thrown out. Just a word of advice. Please be pleasant and perhaps place either fully booked out signs on the doors or at least on the tables. Very disappointed!

We just had a chicken and avocado toasted sanga and it was quite nice and just hit the spot to tide us over till lunch. The place was packed as you would expect of a good cafe on a Sunday morning. The service was a little slow but I'm not surprised as there was quite a few people in the cafe and outside seating. But still happy with the service and time it took to get our coffee and food. Great little cafe I will be back.

We just stopped here for coffee on New Years Day. Great coffee and affogato, however the service…read morestaff while nice enough seem inexperienced with few clues about what is required to service customers, ie slow for everything. Happy to give them the benefit of the doubt that maybe their normal crew are on holidays. Although curiously the large flat white came in a takeaway cup for no apparent reason. Take away thoughts, yes they were open on New Years Day, yes the coffee was good. Happy to give it another try at another time.

And the addition of orange slices, pesto, and overdone asparagus is the sort of combination the mad old lady on Vicar of Dibley would consider inspired. Well, I tried it. I gave it a good chance, and, no, it was truly awful. My companion had arancini. I tasted one (she had two and refused to eat more) and it was as dry and bland as an accountant's sex life, This place is new. Very new. The two star rating reflects the fact that they are only just finding their feet, but if they don't lift their game - and drastically - this could be their epitaph and their first review, all rolled into one.

We visited on a Friday morning, before the rush, and were quickly seated in the courtyard out back…read more The back area has a relaxed and peaceful vibe. Our group included myself, hubby and our 3 year old daughter. The atmosphere was inviting, warm and very family friendly. The service was fast and welcoming. Though dining as a family it was an environment equally suited to a brunch with the girls, date or casual business meeting. The menu is full of your usual brunch items with creative and delicious twists. Their take on chicken and waffles was AMAZING. Every element perfectly complimented each other. The waffle was dense but filling and tasty, the coleslaw light and fresh and the popcorn chicken seasoned and cooked to perfection. A+ in terms of originality and deliciousness. My husband went with the B Man's Brekkie - think upmarket big brekkie but with a wonderful kick it flavour. Highlight of the plate was the corn fritter - if hungry this plate is for you but if not the fritters alone with sate your hunger. If you're a coffee snob you won't be disappointed. Our cappuccinos were faultless. I also loved the Vietnamese cold brew - it gave me a nice taste of nostalgia. Perfect for those missing shores abroad. Overall a tasty and fun meal served in a casual and friendly environment. I'd recommend Mr Benedict to any and all.

This said, it was with much regret that I chose Brick Lane. I will admit that there has been an enormous improvement from the previous owners (decore, menu and service) my eating experience left me bed ridden for 3 days. My very pricey ceasar salad arrived with limp, slimy leaves and a sweaty side of dressing. The chicken needed to be rehydrated with steady gulps of water. It was obvious that my order sat under the heat lamp for far too long. I should have been honest and sent it back, instead suffered my greatest case of food poisoning ever. Will I condemn the new kid on the block? No. They can do a decent coffee and I am grateful they keep the machine on later than most. However, the menu lacks the contemporary Australian cuisine that I've grown to enjoy.... fyi- my wife disagrrees with everything Ive written. She really her lasagna.
