5five

I went on a Sunday with a group of 6 other people. It was a busy morning (we arrived for brunch at 10:30). We had booked a table well before we came to eat (I’d say a week before). Given it’s a small place, when we got there it felt like we were in everyone’s way just waiting for a table. We had booked to avoid the hassle. In saying that - I have to mention the waitresses were really nice, though they forgot a friend’s mocha they were very apologetic about it. However one of the male waiters (maybe a manager even? - based on how the waitresses were asking him questions) wasn’t very personable. My friends had ordered similar meals with different additions/extras - when asked to repeat which was which he seemed annoyed. When we went to pay I also heard him mutter “why are all these people here?” - one of the ladies (who also looked like a manager) was kind enough to allow us to split bill which is why we were at the register. When I heard this, after paying I just asked the people I was with to step outside so we weren’t in his way. I understand it’s a busy place, and it’s small so we should have also considered that when moving around - but micro aggressions like that just aren’t needed. Going to the bathroom, you were bumping into staff trying to service people during a busy time. If people want to dine here with accessibility needs - Their toilet was up a flight of stairs where staff were also going up and down to get supplies etc. so accessing a different restroom if dining here would be best. Food was really nice with great options, and decent serving sizes - pictured is what I ordered. Benedict with extras (goats cheese, avocado, a hash brown, and spinach) It was an okay experience overall.

Brilliant place for brunch but I will definitely suggest that you book ahead as the place gets pretty busy specially over the weekends. I had the big breakfast and it was top notch. Others who were with me had the mushroom medley, the croissant and the breakfast bruschetta. All the dishes were well prepared and were hearty. The sourdough toast were very well made and had a nice toasty crust. The flat white was also pretty nice. There is nice little parking lot nearby but you’ve to reach there early to make the best of it.

It was not great. Wait was 1 hour and then we had to tell them we were waiting. The drinks arrived early but food was a long time. Yes there was people but after they cleared up we were still waiting. Table in front arrive a tiny bit earlier but when they finished we were STILL waiting. It was also expensive. - spinach fritters 2 stars because to spinachy and have definitely had better. - burnt toffee caramel milkshake was 5 nice and sweet - chilli scrambled eggs was 4, bread was soft and egg was yum but chill wasn't there. - sliders & fries was 100 percent 5 sliders were yummy mini burgers and fries were awesome and crunchy Coming here JUST for the sliders isn't worth it. To take a quick snack just take sliders and fries is fine.

Excellent service. Some dishes were stronger than others. Really loved the zucchini and feta fritters. The special was a beef sirloin steak sandwich which was quite tasty too. Overall staff were really attentive and there was no push to vacate after we finished which is really nice. Drinks were great.
