hi everyone, my friends and i thought we’d try out their bottomless brunch yesterday. it ran for 2 hours. the waitress let us know the rules for participating before taking our order that there was to be no skulling and our time limit had already begun despite my friends arriving late. (no worries there, completely understand).
the white sangria was tasty. it consisted of a bit of white wine, sprite and fruit. there were also red wine sangria, mimosas, prosecco, cider and bloody mary’s on offer.
the food options we chose were
benedict bowl, paleo waffles, bao buns, soft tacos (where the fish was substituted for the pork), fries & kumara fries. they were great! i ordered the brioche lamb burger with fries. i didn’t realise it would be pulled lamb as on the menu i thought it was just the pulled beef burger that would be pulled (i’m not a fan of pulled meat). while the lamb had a lot of sauce on it, the meat itself was quite dry. the staff were very kind to swap my dish for another option so i had the fish tacos. they were ok.
cute decor. most staff were attentive and helpful. however the waitress who was serving our table was quite unwelcoming, made us feel as if we were being constantly monitored, would purposely withhold refilling our drinks and overall made our time at eat drink laugh unenjoyable. it felt like edl have caught on to the popularity of the bottomless brunch gimmick. at $59pp it’s one of the more expensive bottomless brunch’s on offer in akl and i think that was reflected in the great food options.
overall i’d probably not return as the customer service let edl down.
