Great coffee! Had the lamb spit on sunday and it was fantastic. New cafe take a while to get recognised but has great potential.

I don't understand the hype that surrounds this restaurant. We've been keen to try Eros restaurant (not the bar area) for a while after recommendations from a number of friends. But were very disappointed by the experience.

Starting on the service, for a restaurant that charges so much I would expect a higher calibre of staff. Staff were predominantly young school girls who didn't know the menu and also struggled to bring out the correct bill. However, to their credit, they did take things in their stride and were doing their best. This by itself is not detrimental but the food was also terrible.

Serving sizes were too small (given the price) and the dishes were done poorly. The white bait were over done (they were like hollow pieces of batter but somehow still not crisp) and the marinated lamb (serviced with pita bread, tzatziki and hommus) looked this crumbs of overcooked lamb (like someone went to a yiros shop and scrapped the bottom of the tray).

This is really a shame because that dish was presented well. It is a really great idea to allow diners to make mini yiros. The dessert platter was a real mistake. It took over twenty mins to prepare. This was surprising given all of the items on the menu should have been ready (this wasn't souffle). When it came out I could understand why it took so long. Everything was being defrosted. All the desserts were soggy including the Galataboureko.

I'm happy to be corrected. Perhaps they should be soggy. Perhaps the syrup that was poured over everything made them soggy (the desserts were so soggy though, they would have had to be sitting around in syrup for at 20 mins). That still doesn't mean they should be flavourless. The Galataboureko custard defintely lacked flavour. It was like a custard colour gelatinous chunk. The pieces were cut in uneven sizes (so presentation was appalling).

Finally, being on a main road, it probably isn't a good idea for them to leave water glasses on the table, especially not upside down. The glasses collected a lot of dust and sediment.

Don't ever go here on a scoopon deal disappointing food, disappointing service and $5 bottle of Cb/Merlot that for some unknown reason the waitress told me three times it was a Shiraz by another name? I thought the Scoopon deal was to get repeat custom..but not here.

I liked how this place was nice and big, big enough to avoid a christmas party but it also has a lot of thoroughfare being situated in between the main stairs and the conference room on the other side. The view is overrated. We could only see tree tops.

Service was excellent. Staff were friendly and knowledgeable about the food. They also showed great initiative which is rare. Food was a bit below average though. Presentation was lovely but the pasta I had was a bit beyond al dente so all it was a plate of scraggly pieces.

I would recommend this place for a medium sized work function. It's not too fancy so well within budget but the impeccable service makes it feel special.

I ordered a chicken salad and it was basically swimming in a pool of water. The cucumber slices and lettuce pieces were way too big. Staff service was okay but it felt too much like a fast food restaurant than an actual restaurant.

Enjoyed our dinner here but certainly wouldn't rush back. We arrived early at 6:30pm on a Saturday night and were the only ones there. I do find it awkward when you can hear the conversations of the service staff, especially when they swear and carry on about personal things. That ruined the ambiance for me. Service was prompt, food was good but to be honest, for the prices we paid I wish I had just cooked at home. A decent local place, but nothing amazing.

It was a beautiful Sunday morning so we decided to treat ourselves to some ‎breaky. Boy, were we in for a surprise! We got there before 11am, ordered just 2 ‎meals. We didn't get to eat them till 12:30! People were coming in for lunch ‎while we were still waiting for breakfast.

We kept asking, and kept getting told, ‎not much longer, only another 10 minutes. It wasn't even packed. There were less ‎then 15 people waiting for breakfast, how hard is it to feed 15 people! They had 5 ‎people working in the kitchen. Then we didn't even get an apology and they dared ‎to charge us full price. It was only when I really pushed they didn't charge us for 2 ‎drinks. We only ordered the others as we finished the 1st ones in the first hour! ‎Absolute disgrace. Never going back and neither should you! ‎
