   We arrived at a time when most tables were empty and a few of the staff seemed to be enjoying themselves, chatting away near us. Food for 3 out of 4 came out at the same time, while the fourth person had to wait for theirs. It took a painful amount of time to get the attention of someone to order an extra coffee. The quality and flavor of food was very bland.

   Had a lovely time in this beautiful space. Service was great, to the point they let us stay past their closing time as we had a great catch up after years not seeing each other because of Covid.

   The porridge was so hot I couldn’t touch the bowl or eat it. Even after waiting 20 mins I only managed to eat a quarter.

   Family went on Boxing Day and it was below average dining. We were located at a table right next to the kitchen when other tables were available. It took a long time for our orders to come out. Glasses we were given for water and drinks were boiling hot and no ice to cool them down. We were given warm water to drink which was unpleasant. Food was ok but it took too long especially when paying a surcharge due to Boxing Day. Manager did provide free coffees to our table and was probably embarrassed by the service. Staff member at coffee machine was on her phone and not making customers are priority. Suggest this cafe steps up the service otherwise they won’t last in such a competitive area. Disappointing experience and unlikely to return.

    We made a booking and saw multiple people without reservations being seated. Overpriced. Eggs were not poached. They also forgot some of our order which we had to remind them about.

    Food was great once we were finally seated. Booked a table about 3 weeks in advance but weren’t seated for 40mins after our reservation, with little acknowledgment of this fact.

    No booking was prepared so no record of the booking. Guests were separated upon arrival. Several orders for drinks were forgotten, so needed to be reordered. Due to an event, we felt we needed to leave. Could have stayed another hour and drank more. Ended up going to a park instead. Not likely to return.

    Very slow service, issues with booking and wouldn't split the bill despite the fact the person in front of us split the bill. Were then advised they couldn't split because they'd actually charged someone else our order and the system wouldn't let them. Very rude staff in general.

    The staff were very helpful and attentive. Food was great and prompt to come out. Great gluten free alternatives/options. Always great when you are able to make bookings. Only negative was that the cold brew coffee wasn't great.

    I asked for a good table for conversation, we got given a table right in the middle where it’s a bit uncomfortable to talk, I asked if we could move, but service said no. But I saw so many tables for 2 empty, that could’ve easily been swapped with ours. The order was also forgotten for a while. Not a massive deal, but why does someone else get a better table. Is their reservation more important? Overall amazing place, the service was quote friendly. Just not accomodating. I would go back though.

    Thoroughly enjoyed brunch at bentwood! 3 diners had açai bowls and loved them. The chilli scrambled was the perfect balance of spice and perfectly scrambled egg finished with bacon, Parmesan and onion. Our 1 year old loves her kids cheese omelette! We will all definitely be back

    Honestly this is such a let down. This place used to be such an awesome cafe with wonderful food and service. Alas, it’s seemingly fallen off a cliff this year. For the price, the food is both underwhelming and plain. Chilli scrambled eggs usually needs to have chilli in it for example. It’s bland, poorly presented, and strange serving sizes. The staff are friendly and reasonably responsive, but it’s a sad day when the smiley service staff have to drag the review up to two stars. I wouldn’t bother coming here given the price and quality. There are so many other better options, I’d use Riché in Richmond as the gold standard. This place gets a DNF. Also $72 for two small portions and two coffees is a bit mental. 10% weekend surcharge is pushing the friendship pretty hard.

    Great location and venue but super noisy. Food was average…I was lucky to have the tastiest, Prawn and Kimchi Omelette but there was only 2 prawns. Service started of with our awesome waiter then it was all downhill. I had to even go and get cutlery from another set table (waited while food was getting cold) as requests fell on deaf ears.

    Stylish cafe, comfortable with varied well priced breakfast & lunch menu. Staff were friendly, but slow to offer drinks and limited check in with the table once food was served.

    After we ordered, our coffees took around 35 minutes to come to the table. Once they did come, we asked which one was the one with oat milk but the waitress couldn’t answer and it was sat in front of the wrong person. We had to taste the coffees to figure out which was which… The food was good but they could work on their service.

    Being Luddite’s we ordered via the staff rather than our phone and our order was lost in the system resulting in a long wait. Once they discovered their omission they prioritised us and we were given a delicious complimentary meal.

    Food came out cold, sent it back to the kitchen, it came back, dried out and un-eatable, obviously they just put the meal under a warmer instead of making a fresh meal.
