   Service was prompt and efficient .. but nothing to write home about. Food came out quickly and looked pleasant .. but for almost $30 each (I added avocado and my mate added bacon to two $23 dishes) I wouldn’t say it was great value for money. Bigger portions or a lower price point is needed. I’ve had way bigger and tastier brunches for way cheaper and l left more satisfied. For $6 two scrawny pieces of bacon isn’t just. Atmosphere is good. Price point is just way askew

   Service was aggressive and confusing. When we were seated our waitress asked if we would like to order drinks - we replied sure to which our waitress yelled at us “Well tell me what you want then!” Later when we ordered food we asked to swap out the eggs for one of the sides options and our waitress replied authoritatively “I’m not doing that. I’ll remove the eggs and still charge you for the full meal and if you want a side, I’ll charge you for the sides”. We didn’t deserve to be spoken to like that and are honestly baffled by the experience.

   I find it concerning the change in this restaurant . I have been here several times and the food has lessened In quality and choice. The service was such that you couldn’t even get lactose free milk . The staff never came back to see if we needed more coffee etc I am really sorry to say how disappointed it was given we spent $70.00 I would expect much better quality food; larger menu and a decent lactose free coffee . I hood you can improve use to be my happy place not so now.

   Great food and ambience, but the pork belly dish was very small and didn’t fill me up at all.

   Great food and drinks, however noise levels are quite loud. One of the best breakfasts, will definitely be returning. (Had the pork belly and Top Paddock breakfast. The chocolate malted thick shake was outstanding). Highly recommend this cafe.

   My brunch was so cold. Also, the space is very loud - some may enjoy that but makes a catch up hard work as you have to yell to have a conversation.

    After a really tough pandemic recess, we returned to our favorite spot for pancakes in the city. It all went down a spiral since we arrived, the access ramp entrance was blocked by a sign, and customers were seated in the way. We had to make our way in asking the patrons to stand up. No one from the staff was willing to help, they only approached us to ask if we had a reservation. After a long wait and ordering, the waitress too busy to hand each plate properly, throwing all them on the side of the table, leaving us to distribute them.. She said: "it would be better if I leave them here.." (indeed.. for her). Overall, uncomfy experience, rude hosts.. with the classic nowadays trend of making you feel "fortunate" of being served.. On top of this terrible experience noisy as hell + loud music.. Wil only consider takeaway for the next time... or better yet.. Best pancakes spot in the city place is there to discover!

    Food was delicious and came out super quickly even though they were very busy. Coffees came 10 minutes after the food. Also our table was super close to the people either side of us felt like we were sitting with them, which was a bit uncomfortable.

    The food and coffee was very nice, good menu. However, when the waitress arrived to take our order we asked for a couple more minutes she came back within one and we said sorry we are not quite ready, mostly busy talking. Then we were ignored despite multiple attempts to get the waitress back. the table next to us came in ordered, ate and on their way out asked the waitress to come and take our order… over 45 mins… she came and offered a very insecure apology with a laugh… Won’t be back!

    We have been to Top Paddock several times over the years and will continue to return. The ambience, service and food are always of a high standard. There is no criticism of the quality of the food but the menu has always had a broad and exciting mix of dishes and this week we thought the variety was restrained and "safe".

    Despite being a new into the Top paddock, I quite loved the ambience, not as much the food though( the lunch special allured me on the menu page, but turned out to be a bit disappointing) I found the meat of the chicken schnitzel not fresh with some grey parts and flat taste. But apart from that the guys there were doing their best on a very fast pace day.
