Very popular street front cafe in Grace ile where most off the seating is on the pavement outside.Nothing fancy as a venue but the coffee is great, the cakes scrumptious, including good quality and choice in the gluten free range.Breakfast/brunch offerings look great - will have to try sometime.Management and staff are excellent. Friendly place: always enjoy having coffee and cake here.

Seated outside on a gorgeous Brisbane night, we had stellar service to match the stellar meal. From perfect classics, such as fried rice, to true fusion delights, bbq duck and cherry crepes, the food was the star!Three street food plates, two salad plates, one share plate and a side were more than enough to sate the desires of four hungry adults and two 'starving' kids (one a teenager)!Well worth a visit!

We booked for 8 people for Motherâs Day brunch. There was no mention of a special menu when we booked and as we had checked the menu online, we thought the food sounded delicious and well priced. We had 2 grandmas, 2 mums, 2 dads and 2 children over 12. Imagine our surprise when we received the bill for $360 ($45 per person). Although the meals were good, they normally would be charged at around $16 to $20. We also received a very small amount of sliced fruit, very small pastries and plunger coffee or tea. The service was just ok and slow. I donât understand why you would serve coffee and then have to return to the table to pour milk in all the cups. No sugar on the table either and no teaspoons to stir! Certainly not worth the money charged and we left feeling like we had been taken advantage of. Obviously we wonât return!

Where do I start? The location is great, fairly large. The size that requires a seasoned professional to take control of what must be a pretty big rental agreement! Hopeful amateurs have come and gone here with a swiftness that could easily be missed if you were not paying attention. I have lived in the area for over fourteen years now, and have twenty years of hospitality experience as a Chef in international hotels. I so wanted this restaurant to excite me and show that a quality operation was now established in the western suburbs. The website and Facebook page promised me just that. The menu showed me that the Chef knew how to balance a menu in terms of size and variation of content. After all the owners had been brave enough to blend two very different cuisines French and Vietnamese, an exciting combination but one that does require a discipline of balance in the way dishes are constructed. So here we were booked and looking forward to our first experience of what I'm hoping is going to be a local restaurant that we can be proud of and frequent often. We arrive on a Saturday evening to find the restaurant busy, great the signs are good. We are seated at a nicely set table, linen and a small jar of flowers, very French. The service is very attentive, although a little inexperienced but none the less a positive one. I'm impressed with the menu being a sensible size. All too often you see large menus which require far too much preparation and ingredients. Six entrees and seven mains plus three interesting vegetarians dishes. But this also means a sense of responsibility to the quality and consistency of the dishes!We ordered a bowl of French onion soup and a mixed starter platter for two. The French onion soup was superb, it even had the traditional bread and Gruyere cheese top which is so often wrongly executed. The mixed platter was average, not enough soy, very dry toast and the other elements were unexciting to be fair! It needs to be more of a signature dish showcasing the best the restaurant has to offer. And so to the main courses! 'Oh Cher' My wife had the 'Fish de jour' and my guest and I had the 'Steak au proivre'. We requested them 'medium rare' to which we were told that was the only way they could be ordered! That suited us but when you dictate that rule then you better get it right!My wife's Salmon was OK but nothing interesting or exciting, it was at the level that a competent home cook would be able to achieve! The fish was cooked well but really didn't have anything special about it!Our 'Steak au poivre' were both overcooked! After only giving one option to the way it was cooked you really should be able to get it right! it was served with a scruffy portion of sliced braised potatoes, two large batons of carrots and a peppercorn cream sauce. Pretty plain and the eye fillet steaks were pretty dry as well as being overcooked! The worst of all was the fact that the seasoning was completely off! I really don't think that any salt was used on the steak or the sauce! The salt shaker on the table was blocked up as well, so no rescuing from that source. This to me as a Chef is a major mistake! Any Chef worth their salt (Pun intended) would automatically know how to season food, and to check before sending it out.This made me angry! I so wanted this establishment to be not only what it promised it could do but also to become an establishment that would represent our western suburb restaurant scene. That will still be left the consistent 'San Marco ll' restaurant in Middle Park. I hope this establishment is taking on board the constructive criticism that it receives and grows from it. If it does it will prosper into a well respected and frequented restaurant, but if it doesn't it's most likely fail like so many others before them.
