Best breakfast place I have been to... ever! and being a big food lover such as myself, that's a massive statement. I discovered this place with my partner about a few months ago and have been there a dozen times at least. Absolutely sensational chef who makes his hollandaise sauce and poached eggs to perfect. I honestly believe I could eat an entire meal of mushrooms at Broozed, they're unbeliable! definitely a must try restaurant. Not too sure how their lunches are. Every time I try to go for lunch I always end up craving their amazing breakfasts!

Late Sept,midweek went to Brooze with friend, using my meal entertainment book voucher; half price main.Restaurant had only total of about 11 diners in the 1.5 hrs we were there 7.30 to 9pm. We got main meal each, entree each,she a G&T,me a glass wine.Plus a side order vegies( carrot, brocolli, beans)each.

Cost: $28 each( would have been about $37 each w/o voucher.

Food:Menu not extensive, portions sizes moderate,good.

Bruscetta entree: lovely ($9.50 each):our mains certainly tasty enough,nice but nothing to write home about.

Vegie side order:I had to ask 3 times (twice getting up to the counter) for that to be served, ended up getting at end of the main course which we had slowed right down on in the hope the vegies would arrive! Carrots, brocolli, beans: how hard can it be to steam/microwave? When they did arrive, too late, they were something like the old style of over cooked.

Service: waitress, very pleasant & welcoming however we & she had difficulty communicating due to us due to our language barriers. This made the whole thing awkward. Friend asked very politely about 5 times, even in the end pointing to the vegies, could she have cracked pepper (waitress holding grinder): waitress nodded, smiled & left without grinding!

Similar when we asked for explanations of what menu items meant. And yep getting the side order of vegies (see above) was possibly complicated by same issue. By this stage in the even we had got fed up with it all, skipped coffee & dessert & decided well before we walked out the door that would not be back again.

Whilst what we got (excepting the vegies) was relative value (as said, entree good, mains good only due to discount voucher though), the awkwardness of the service, the lack of getting vegies side order out on time, then really overcooked & soft & all this in what was a very uncrowded restaurant. So thumbs down from us for sure.

Went for lunch on a weekend. The service was excellent and the coffee superb. We had the square burger, decent and good quality but needed a nice sauce or chutney to take it to the next level. The place was full and most were eating the big breakfast, look forward to trying that on our next visit.

The food was awesome.! I went here for a friends birthday party and the staff was really friendly. When you walk past this place you might not think that it serves great quality food but you should come and try.

This restaurant has very good presentation on the food, even though the menu are still pretty common meals, but they still make it interesting. I tried the Roated Lamb rump on mixed nuts and herbs, it was good, the satays chicken are pretty unique and if you're a sweet lover, try the sticky date pudding, the toffe was yumm!!!! The service was pretty all right since they said they just opened, and still looking for the front staff but the manager himself was very friendly.
