Visited today with my family, the location is beautiful and the restaurant is really nice with a cosy fireplace! We had wonderful service, entrees were really tasty and our mains topped the meal off! Perfect pillowy gnocchi and beautiful salad to go with it! What a lovely place!

Four of us had lunch at Espresso 3094 recently.Smallish cafe on Were Street. You can either dine inside or outside.We chose to dine inside because it was raining.Menu has an extensive range of choices for breakfast and lunch from which to choose.Various coffees were ordered and they were very good indeed.Staff were very friendly, and we did not have to wait too long for our orders.All good, but if you choose to eat inside it is veeerry noisy.

My Gluten Free bun had been microwaved until it was so hardthat your teeth couldn't go through it. On drawing the waitresses attentionto that fact...her only comment was "I'll let the kitchen know".The content of the bun was delicious but I should have sent it back!!

I remember when this used to be a bike shop, so when it closed down and opened as Zen Den, I had to come and try it. It was good then and it's good now. I revisited last week and found everything to be pretty much ideal. Staff were quick and attentive. Portion sizes were good. Atmosphere nice. Decor appealing. Even the playlist for music was well chosen. I had the crispy sweet potato chips which were not overcooked, which is often what happens at some places. Coffee pretty good. My friend is a vegetarian but they had a veggie burger which was really quite big and generously filled with delicious food. The prices are a little bit on the higher side than normal but you get what you pay for. Downside is that it can get noisy. Parking can be a bit challenging but the Eltham Hotel is next door. Wheelchair friendly. Kid friendly. Nice little outdoor space available as well. Oh, and if you want to come and read, they've even got books here.

This place is consistently good in all aspects. Whether youâre coming here for a bite to eat, a full on lunch or just takeaway, everything is great. Iâve dined here with my kids many times at the restaurant part that overloooks Main Road but today was just a quick takeaway coffee and vanilla slice that is to die for. In fact all the cakes on display look amazing. Staff can make or break a place and at The Main, Iâve always found the staff to be friendly, efficient and helpful. Kudos to you!If you have dietary issues just let the staff know when ordering. High chairs are available for kids. Wheelchair friendly. Good parking at the rear in the main carpark.

My kids like coming here but I find the food expensive albeit the food is fresh. $11 for a burger that is really just a little funkier than the fish and chip shop nearby. Lots of seating indoors and out. Plenty of parking behind Coles. Wheelchair friendly. Kid friendly. Caters for dietaries.

Caught up with a whole lot of friends at this establishment a couple of Saturdays ago. Staff were attentive but not intrusive, food was delivered in good time and I certainly enjoyed the Calamari. I heard no dissenting voices from my group. Would certainly recommend in future.

Small plates states that it derives from "small plates" traditions such as Spanish tapas and Greek meze which are located on the Mediterranean sea. The restaurant is located in a pleasant octagonal building with glass surrounding most sides. In the centre is a nice large table capable of seating perhaps 12 persons. We started with two superb dips, a carrot tzatziki with a lovely spice (probably tumeric) and a beetroot dip which was delicious. We also had some nice vine leaves. For the mains, we had chicken with pickled salad, which was a little disappointing, and a whole snapper which had dukka spice. The dukka overpowered the fish, but we found the combination creative, even if it didn't quite work. For drinks, we variously had red sangria, white sangria and a mocktail, all of which were satisfactory. We shared one dessert, a nice molten lava chocolate cake.The service was friendly, though at times a bit slow and our drinks were not served together. One of the wait staff was quite new.The evening was also quite inexpensive. The bill was just over $50 each including drinks.We don't live too far from Small Plates. I expect that we will revisit Small Plates several times in the near future.

Loved this place and found it through the Entertainment Book! The breakfast I ordered was scrumptious and my friend had the French Toast which was truly yum!Needs a booking as itâs quite limited seating and the car park is small too.Highly recommend for something special.

After many visits this restaurant would have to be one of our favourites and never disappoints. Service was excellent. Food was excellent and a delight to both the eyes and the tastebuds.My companions ordered the Malaysian dancing prawns for entrée and raved about them. For mains we enjoyed the delicious pork belly and John Dory fillets. Everything was just delicious.We always enjoy the shared tasting plate for dessert. Couldn't fault this place and the parking is easy and spacious behind the restaurant. Highly recommended.
