Cafe Birkenhead

Service was very slow, even for water. Sides were provided a good 10-15 minutes before the meal arrived and little attention was given. Always having to catch the waiter for items. Considering parking is times, they were exceedingly slow and inattentive generally.

Food was disappointing. Wait staff did not get preference right ( I asked for fresh tuna in the poke bowl and got grilled tuna instead). Coffee took a long time to come. Had to follow up. When it did eventually come it disappointed. We were paying for lunch for 4 and it was a birthday lunch but the cafe insisted on charging $20 for cakeage for the birthday cake. Overall, unfortunately it was a disappointing experience. It was particularly disappointing for me as I had chosen the venues as it was a favourite years ago. There are a lot of quality cafes in the area so a greater customer focus and improvement on the quality of the offerings would be in order.

Great place with an excellent view. The food, we had breakfast, so not much can go wrong. Was good. The service was excellent, and attentive to our requests.

Have become a regular customer. Views and food are fabulous!!!!

This cafe has lovely views of the water, and the space is nice and light-filled. The food here is quite nice, making for a great breakfast, brunch or lunch spot.

Took a while for staff to take our order, we had to prompt by asking them. Ordered a coffee and it came out really hot, burning the espresso. Then food with my partner didn’t come out at the same time as mine. However the food given to us was great and tasty. The juice is made fresh on site and refreshing.

Great ambience and the food was good too. A little noisy with echoing in the room but would go again. The staff were friendly and we didn't wait long for meals either.

The service was over and above what was expected. A table became available by the window and we were moved from our table in the centre to a view. This was not expected but was very much welcomed.

Lovely spot with great views. Friendly service and wide menu. They listened to my booking request about a corner table to suit a pram. Plenty of space to allow social distancing.

Amazing salads

Food is enjoyable but staff need to be more attentive and food service a bit slow. Good atmosphere and view of water.

Beautiful restaurant and excellent service. Had to confirm via the fork.com.au four times and a fifth time via phone call directly from the restaurant which was a little annoying, however.

Good food and service. Great view and ambiance.

Lovely view and plenty of distance for safety. Our waitress was lovely and food is always of amazing quality. We went for our belated wedding anniversary (as we had our reception there years ago).

I have frequented this restaurant with friends for lunch and always find the food very good, happy staff and very attentive, window views lovely thanks again for your service.

Great loc action and views

Some interesting items on the menu. There are light meals for small eaters. The fettuccine gamberi was delicious! Loved the chocolate stone cake which was unusual.

The restaurant was excellent, fantastic service and the food was great. Even better that we were able to pay individually for what we had eaten etc.

Delicious sandwiches!

Very disappointing service and food. Ordered Fattoush salad with prawns and got a poor couscous salad instead. Their version of ‘Fattoush’ salad apparently. A friend offered pancakes, thick, dry and rubbery. Will never visit this local cafe again.
