Love this place. Not sure why in Australia businesses ask for tips especially in a country that has fair work Australia especially in a time when the cost of living is so high. It just creates an awkward silence when the option is created. That said my friends who were from Victoria and had their flight delayed. We were thankful they held the table. They loved the food and raved and look forward to coming again.

We have been many times before and it’s been great, this time though not so great! Booked a table for 5 and a highchair, when we arrived we were given a table shoved in the corner and only set up for 4 and had to ask 3 times for a highchair! And just after we sat asked if we could move so they could assess the electrical cupboard. Food was taken and arrived fairly promptly and all was tasty however, my partner ordered the avocado toast but on gf bread. What arrived was so small compared to the non gf option. So we had to pay extra for the gf bread to only get half the portion?! And few sides were missing and had to chase them.
The Grounds of the CityA répondu il y a 3 jours
Dear Gemma, Thank you for sharing your feedback. We’re glad to hear you’ve enjoyed visiting us in the past and found the food tasty this time, but we’re sorry that this visit fell short. We apologize for the issues with your table setup, the delay in providing the highchair, and the inconvenience of being asked to move. This isn’t the level of service we aim to provide. Regarding the gluten-free avocado toast, we understand your frustration about the smaller portion despite the extra cost. Consistency is important, and we’ll address this with our team. We’re also sorry for the missing sides and appreciate you bringing it to our attention. Thank you again for your feedback—it helps us improve. - Nagi (The Grounds)

Excellent service, lovely ambience, good for something different. However I struggle to understand why they are so popular. Very, very crowded, smallish food portions and very expensive. The scrambled eggs were watery and the hot chocolate was warm at best. Not in a rush to go back but also not the worst place I’ve been.

Dear Jennifer, Thank you for sharing your feedback. We're glad to hear you enjoyed the service and the ambiance, as we strive to create a welcoming and unique experience for our guests. We’re sorry to hear that some aspects of your visit didn’t meet your expectations. Your comments about the food portions, scrambled eggs, and hot chocolate temperature are noted, and we’ll pass this on to the team to review. Regarding the crowd, we do tend to get busy, especially during peak times, but we understand how that might impact the overall experience. Thank you again for visiting and taking the time to leave a review. Hope we have a chance to serve you again soon. - Nagi (The Grounds)

A very nice spot: cheerful staff, great ambience & a decent menu offering. Love the decor. My main meal was slightly overcooked…kitchen was about to close…but my wife’s was perfect and I would happily return.
