I ordered the pancakes and banana bread as the 2 best reviewed items on the menu. I was a bit disappointed however as the pancakes were room temperature and tasted on the dry side (I only ate about half in the end and left the rest it clearly wasn’t freshly made). Other items that came with it like eggs and sausage were average. I got a sample of the banana bread only. It was okay but a bit rich and I’m glad I didn’t take that as an entire breakfast on its own, which they offered. Well presented however and staff was friendly. Also a nice venue.

Greenwood's is very busy, so it is popular enough to keep bringing in customers, but it just fell short for me. Service is great, staff are friendly and professional, but the food was less than what I expected. I ordered the flight of bennies, and was underwhelmed, particularly the chicken bennie, as it was dry and more breading than chicken. The Scottish breakfast was also a bit of a letdown. The restaurant is also very crowded. They are busy enough to fill all the tables, but it feels like they might be better to remove a table or 2, so you don't bump elbows with everyone else around you.
