The Oven Twist

Service was lovely, the lady that served us was very polite and cheerful and attended us quickly. The food came out roughly 5-10 minutes after ordering. We had the big breakfast and found that for the most part it was delicious, however the eggs where a bit overdone. Overall would come here again, as the atmosphere plus the service was pretty good.

Arrived after the lunch rush and when there were only 2 other customers. This should have been the first warning sign. The front of staff were nice and eager to collect our order however seemed inexperienced when it came to paying for the meal. The meal was not worth its money. I ordered a veggie stack for 14.50 expecting a nice elegant eggplant and zucchini stack with parmesan cheese, sauted mushroom and mashed pumpkin. Unfortunately I did not receive this. Although the eggplant was nice and tender, the zucchini was bland, the mushrooms were scarce (had maximum of 10 slices scattered around the plate) and for the pumpkin it was non existant (got none). The other main meals my family ordered were the flathead and the vegetarian risotto and they too were disappointed especially with the lack of flavor and the size of the meal. We also ordered a pot of tea for $3.80 , which in my opinion should have been offered with milk as it lacked some flavor and tasted weak. The eggplant chips were probably the best part of the whole experience and worth the $8 we payed. Not oily, had a crunch and were served with sour cream and sweet chilli sauce. Like I said at the beginning, the lack of customers should have been a warning about the quality of food this restaurant provided. Would I go back again? Most likely not.

Lovely restaurant (nice atmosphere)! The food was delicious and the staff were excellent! We had 5 for a birthday lunch and everyone loved what they ordered. The staff were more than happy to put the candles on the cake we brought and bring it out (so special)! At the end they allowed us to split the bill (very accommodating)! Would definitely eat here again!!

Three hungry senior people at 1 pm on a Friday, did not know where to go. Stopped at The Oven Twist. We chose the seniors meals which included a glass of house wine. Good value for money ($14 ea) and a good meal to boot. Staff was good and friendly. If I had to point out one negative it would be the lack of aucoustic control. There were only about 25 people in the reastaurant and it was so noisy that we could not hear each other talk. I would hate to be there when the place is full. Owners, please install some noise deadening panels on walls and ceiling and it would be much nicer to come back.

One of the best meals I have had since my stay in Melbourne. My work requires me to travel a lot and I have tried so many cafes and restaurants so far. But believe when I say Oven Twist beats them all by a huge margin! Food, service, interiors all is on point. I have eaten here four times already and cant wait to be back!
