What Whalesfoodadventure likes about Rudimentary:
Very friendly staff. Food came out quick. Soy flatwhite was nice. However the chai latte could be abit sweeter. Pumpkin and humus salad was delicious, a very big roast pumpkin serving. Flavours worked well together especially the goats cheese. Breakfast roll with potato hash was delicious. Carrot cake was nice and moist packed with flavour. Loved the walnuts on them View all feedback. What Zelida Lombardi doesn't like about Rudimentary:
Well it's all in the name, RUD-imentary: surly service, unhelpful staff because hollandaise sauce is a pre-portioned accompaniment to a dish I didn't order I was refused it with my poached eggs. Sadly they don't offer mayo either totally uninterested in trying to...satisfy my dining experience! When it came to payment, there was no asking if I enjoyed my meal or thank you for my custom. Avoid at all costs! View all feedback.

While some diners were disappointed with the surly service and unhelpful staff, others praised the delicious dishes, spacious room, and efficient service.
