i had the hotcakes which were beautifully presented (photo added). three huge hotcakes presented with bananas, mixed berries, rock melon, bacon, maple syrup & cream with a marshmallow garnish. almost too pretty to eat. but i did & enjoyed it thoroughly. my fiancee had the mixed grill - a hefty portion of kransky sausages, tomato, eggs, hash browns, & bacon (how about some mushrooms?). we were so impressed with the food we will go back again. the staff were friendly and the environment pleasant - i don't have a lot to say about these aspects as it was just the same as anywhere else - neither bad nor fantastic. for me though, i've had the only two things on the menu i would eat so the excitement has passed.
my husband's point of view:
an early sunday morning breakfast for four bought us back here a second time, after a pretty impressive first visit.
the venue is pleasant and the service is to an acceptable standard.
all members of our group were very satisfied with the food. the salmon and scrambledeggsdish was well received, with compliments on the amount of salmon supplied.
the missus and i both had the big breakfast, and after she got my tomatoes and mushrooms, and i scored her bacon and hash-browns, we were both very happy. i thought i'd live life on the edge, and after paying asked if mine could be accompanied by a small bowl of hollandaise. it was a casual request, if it happened then all good, if not then life goes on.
it did happen, and i was impressed. often a request of that nature can cause raising of eyebrows, but they didn't miss a beat. well done guys.
the sausages that come with the dish were a bit odd - the missus thought they tasted 'off'...but then there's so many different types and flavours these days it might just be how they are. i was however a bit disappointed to note the poachedeggshad been cooked in an egg-poacher mould, and not free-styled as any competent cafe chef should be able to do. still, they were qualityeggsand tasted just the same as usual.
the only change i would like to see is printed menus that you can take to the table and peruse at leisure, as opposed to the blackboard by the counter. this would stop people getting in the way of each other, and those deciding what to have jostling with those who are ordering and paying. but hey, when in rome..
all in all, we'll be back.
