Iron Grill

Very busy, so must be good? Or really well situated. Queues of customers for coffee, we just bought food, separate queue, good idea. Date seed cake, must be a Sydney specialty. Not much room to perch if wanting to sit down when we were there. Staff working really hard to keep up. Good range of salads available, as well as usual sandwiches.

I have tried so many times to give these guys a go, but the service here is absolutely terrible. It's as if the owner has gone out of his way to hire the rudest, crankiest staff, that make you feel like it is a privilege for them to take my order. Today was the last time - I normally avoid this place but when I walked past today I noticed they had smoked salmon on brioche. I thought, why not, so I go order it, greeted by a rude staff member (as per usual), but what transpired in front of me I cannot believe. While my brioche was on the sandwich press, there was a mistake with someone's order of 6 coffees, which the "angry bald man" was trying to figure out with the customer. While he was remaking them, the rude girl came back, and she argued with the customer about the order being wrong, blamed it on being hard to hear through the window and upset the customer. The "angry bald man" then proceeded to have a go at the rude girl in front of 10 customers, telling her stuff ups like this can't happen, there are stuff ups every day, and if it continues he will swap her out. Yes there was a stuff up, but it is unacceptable to argue with the customer about it and then proceed to argue in front of the customers? The whole while this is happening, my salmon brioche is slowly being murdered on the sandwich press! I nearly walked away 3 times, forfeiting my $6. It was handed to me and its currently sitting on my desk, I'm afraid to see how it has faired. Avoid this place, there are a number of other places in Barangaroo that have good food and friendly staff.

Not to be confused with Silverbeet next to it. I've tried here a few times out of convenience. Bircher muesli once had mouldy fruit on top. Mini bacon and egg wraps are incredibly plain, and the same price as full size ones in the area. Pre-made wraps are lettuce heavy. Coffee is hit and miss - sometimes good, sometimes cold. They have some desserts from Papa's which is good.
