  • Great for brunch
  • Good for groups
Cafeteria is a cool, casual, contemporary atmosphere where the comfort food of "yesterday" gets schooled by the flavors of "today" to create a dining experience that is "tray chic."

Our new cafeteria-themed menu is a modern interpretation of classic soul-satisfying American dishes prepared with organic grass-fed beef and lamb, free-range chicken, the freshest seafood and organic, local produce. These properly raised ingredients
behave perfectly with a new world of herbs, spices and culinary techniques to create deeply satisfying comfort food for the new millennium.
Reservation are granted inside the restaurant, our patio is on first-come, first-served basis.

    Giving this one stars across the board. Upon arriving for our reservation, Cafeteria was closed for the day. We were never informed by Open Table or Cafeteria that they were not open on this day. Typically a good spot, but something here went wrong that we weren't communicated with about the closure. It was a bummer that we ended up having to wait to eat elsewhere.

    Why was this even able to be booked if the restaurant was closed for renovations? My friends and I were looking forward to having our first brunch out in ages and we were very disappointed when we realised that it wasn't going to happen especially since everywhere else was full by the time brunch time came round.

    When we showed up to the restaurant, the restaurant was CLOSED. Nobody notified us that the restaurant was closed. Why would Open Table let customers make a reservation for a closed restaurant? So disappointed. Not easy to make alternative plans for a party of six on a Saturday night.

    How are you going to let someone make reservations for your restaurant when you guys are not even open? Literally wasted our time especially since we don’t live in the city. Took us forever to find parking and when we did we were met with disappointment..
