    We went here for my Mothers 70th Birthday. We were running late for our booking and called and explained and they were so understanding. When we got there they were so polite, and so welcoming. To do with my mums birthday they said they can do a piece of cake and sing her a happy birthday, I just need to let them know when. We orded the french toast and the bubble waffles and both were delicious and such huge serves, so absolutely worth the price, which I must say are very reasonable. So if you have not being to this little hidden gem, that I admit may be a little difficult to find if you dont know it is there. Go and have a wonderful meal.

    We sat inside instead of outdoor dining. It was Christmas Day so understandably busy and noisy. The stuffs were doing their best and was very polite and helpful.

    I went to Humble Rays a couple of days ago. I’ve been here before, and as always, the food is absolutely delicious. This place has some of the best food I’ve tasted in Melbourne. However, the staff decided to let a couple enter the restaurant with a dog. I understand that Melbourne weather isn’t the best but the dog was continuously barking inside the cafe to the point where it became distracting and irritating. It was a shame because this place is amazing and the staff attended me nicely.

    Super friendly service and great food. I love that you can book the table and don’t have to wait in a queue. Weekends are pretty busy.

    The food is great. Service is excellent. We did not have to wait long to be seated though we had made a booking and arrived an hour earlier. Will be coming back here more often

    Got the eggs benny which was good with the pumpkin korreke but it would’ve been a lot better with toast or a croissant as the pumpkin with the pork belly made it a bit too sweet. But overall good experience
