    I have a dietary requirement that 99% of restaurants are happy to help me with. This establishment wasn’t interested in helping me with my simple request so I didn’t eat. I just had a coffee which was good while I watched the friends that I was with have their lunch

    Just okay. Wilted greens were mainly broccolini stalks and were tough, expected a nice slice of halloumi but got some scattered strips. Capsicum was super salty. Eggs were cooked well, poached had runny yolks. Soggy toast under eggs and pulled pork hock it looked like it had been soaked in water. Hopefully just one off issues. Coffee was good.

    Mercetta has a great vibe and the different dining areas make it a great experience. The service was great, however I was disappointed in the sandwich. The bread was stale and the filling wasn’t pleasant, however the sweet potato fries and sauce was delicious. The others in our group had the salad and fish and chips which they said was nice. Overall we had a good dining experience.

    Very popular and busy. Arrived 1/2 hour early and table was being used but when we came back I was recognised without reshowing booking so the recall was excellent. Was told there may be a delay with food delivery which was a good thing but they did extremely well and we were happy to wait as they did bring out the chips early! Overall a great place and will definitely go back. May even try it with my fur baby as they are pet friendly which is a great thing

    My young son is a coeliac, we made this clear with the waitress upon ordering. Ordered poached eggs on gluten free toast and it arrived with hash browns also on the plate. The toast wasn’t buttered, so it was extremely dry. The waitress got the hash browns removed from the plate, but we were worried about cross contamination. Asked if the milkshakes were gluten free, waitress went to check but never got back to us, we were served the drink though, so just assumed it must have been gluten free. My son woke up the next day very unwell, couldn’t go to school. We understand eating out is a bit of a gamble with a coeliac and restaurants get busy, but we would so appreciate there being more support and care from staff. The wait staff were friendly, the food was ok and the cafe is cosy and comfortable. I would visit Mercetta again, just not with a coeliac.

    Food was nice, however I didnt appreciate being asked to wait outside in a queue, like a night club, when I have a booking and I'm already standing inside the restaurant. Table service was ok, but staff need to read back the order to patrons, as we had 2 incorrect meal & drinks brought to us, purely because they misheard the order and didnt check
