Santa Monica

Great ambience with live music! Waiting staff were attentive and friendly. Food was perfect. Portion of onion rings was large enough for our party of five to share, as we all have our own mains. My steak was nicely done too. However, I had to order it to be cooked to Rare although I usually take Medium Rare (I noticed steaks in Australia tend to be more cooked than other countries). Photo is showing Rare steak.

The service was great and the outside area was pleasant, although it was at capacity, I still enjoyed the atmosphere outside… Not overcrowded, and I could hear everyone at our table of twelve clearly. The food was priced as expected ($17 for my burger), and in my opinion it was not up to expectations. I ordered the chilli cheese burger, which comes with a side of chips. The burger, although tasty, wasn’t nearly spicy enough to earn its name, and the chips were textured as though they were cooked earlier in the day, and had been waiting specifically to be served up to me at lunchtime. I didn’t finish them. I would go here again, but given another option to eat and drink outdoors, I’d probably choose the alternative.

When Avocados have been at an all time low at around $1.50, I am befuddled as to why you raise the cost of one slice of Avo on Rye from $4.50 to $6.50 and your small coffee with an extra shot has now gone from $4.40 to $5.20 ?? Coffee loyalty card in the bin. On the positive the staff are brilliant and when I have gone for drinks and a meal with work mates the food is great.

All I have to say is wow! Everytime I come here with my work colleagues, the staff are friendly and welcoming. Any request we ask is met and the staff are always comfortable accomodating our needs. The ambience is nice. Love music I. Friday arvo. Order drinks from the comfort of your table. Thanks so much Santa Monica team!
