   Slow service, a few things were not on the menu, the server never informed us. So we were let down while ordering. A staff member also dropped his cloths on the floor but proceeded to pick it up and continued to clean the tables. Menus were also grubby and had food on them. Disappointed for Avoca standards.

   Disappointed with only a brunch menu which was mostly egg dishes all day on a Friday, expected a lunch menu but we were told it was because it was Christmas. Several things were not available. Relaxing ambience and service. The food was nice and very generous portions

   Made a reservation for Christmas Eve. The menu was all over the place. I assumed it would have been more Christmas based or like foods but it was mostly breakfast items, service was slow and not very attentive. No need to go back.

   Beautiful cafe, nice food and the staff are nice and hardworking. My only issue was the noise. It was incredibly noisy. Empty dishes and cutlery are sorted at the front of the bar. This should be done in the back. I could see other customers reacting to the noise from this also.

   Ambience very nice , staff lovely bit food poor - poached eggs on sourdough and avocado- bread was hard and cold - eggs were also asked soft and they were well done- my husband asked for mushroom and poached eggs- bread also hard and cold - we could not cut into food - we gave it back - I then just asked for a mince pie - as manager was lovely offered coffee on house and something - I got mince pie cold and no offer of cream - I asked them to take back heat it and bring cream - I believe this is a training issue for local culture on food - staff are lovely - we are regulars to Avoca. It’s not cheap so we could not accept the food we got

    I have been a regular patron at the fodder restaurant as Iive close by. I attended for lunch with a friend on Saturday and it was the most appalling service I have had anywhere in a long time. We were left sat at our table for 15 minutes initially where we were not given menus or water. We had to go up to the till to ask to be served. We were also under time pressure and asked what could we order that wouldn't take long, the manager (the only person of the staff in a black shirt) rolled her eyes at me and said eggs and avocado were our only option. I ordered a coffee and a scone, my friend ordered the eggs and avocado. Eggs an avocado were served within 5 minutes, I waited a further 20 minutes for a scone, it arrived at the table 5 minutes before we were due to leave with no apologies. The attitude of the staff was very poor, as was the level of English spoken and understanding our asks. It has massively put me off visiting this restaurant in future,
