We got some crispy sourdough toast with butter and nut butter and ordered an extra poached egg and a half avocado. The chili, oil and fresh dill gave it a nice special flavour. The staff was very friendly except for one girl. That's the only reason i'm not giving it a 5.

It didn't help to be told when we arrived that they were out of the asparagus salad, the braised lamb and the ham. That might not sound like much, but when your choices are limited to four salads, four proteins and about six sides, you've lost 20% of your menu. We had the salmon gravlax with a wild rice and green bean salad (22), the mushroom salad (8) with a side of pumpkin (7) and a rare beef toastie (15.50). The wild rice salad didn't really taste of much to be honest, and the beetroot-cured salmon gravlax didn't exactly wow me with flavour either. My brother found the rare beef toastie a bit too heavy on the vinegar. I'm starting to think that if you want a good lunch in the CBD, avoid huge beautiful spaces where the rent and the ceilings are sky high, and stick to small holes in the wall who can pump out good food at good value. The salads are decent here, but just roasting some veg and putting it on expensive ceramic crockery shouldn't mean you can charge prices that would leave your grandpa short of breath and reaching for the aspirin. And gramps doesn't have instagram either.
