Had been earlier and it wasn’t bad however I returned after a few months and the service was woeful. The man in the beanie was extremely rude and couldn’t be bothered doing the bare minimum. I’ve seen a few reviews about him. He shouldn’t be in hospitality. I won’t be returning again. Service: Dine in Meal type: Breakfast Food: 3 Service: 1 Atmosphere: 2

In a cost of living crisis, Project 281 fills the void in my heart with HUGE meals $28 for a meal- except you get exactly what you pay for rather than spending $28 on like 2 pieces of chicken and a zucchini across the road 10/10 for everything I’d make Project 281 my religion Service: Dine in Meal type: Brunch Price per person: A$20–40 Food: 5 Service: 5 Atmosphere: 5 Recommended dishes: Fried Chicken and Waffle

Went in for weekend brunch and we got table pretty easy. We ordered few varieties and really enjoyed what we had. Chicken and waffles, coffee, and some appetiser. I personally love the ambient of this place as it has high ceiling and it's not too noisy to a point you had to be screaming to have a good conversation. Will definitely come back for more brunch. Vegetarian options: Easy plenty vegetarian option Kid friendliness: Plenty of space for pram and baby seat didnt check the change room though Wheelchair accessibility: shouldnt be a problem for DDA access Service: Dine in Meal type: Brunch Price per person: A$20–40 Food: 4 Service: 5 Atmosphere: 5 Recommended dishes: Breakfast Burrito, Fried Chicken and Waffle Parking space: Plenty of parking Parking options: Free parking lot, Free street parking

The coffee and the shop's atmosphere are really good, but it's better to avoid foods that contain waffles. The waffle had an overly strong taste of oil and did not complement the accompanying dishes at all. The chicken parmigiana had a delicious blend of cheese and tomato sauce. The steak sandwich was average. The pricing is considered high relative to the composition of the dishes. Price per person: A$20–40 Food: 2 Service: 4 Atmosphere: 5
