The it place to go in St. Kilda. Felt like I was back in LA with the beautiful people and the sunshine pouring through. Ambiance is, needless to say, poppin'. Service, however, is so slow you want to kill yourself. Had to wait forever to have our order taken, then our food took a super long time, and we had to wait even longer to get the bill. Matcha's food and coffee are quite the experience that you have to try once. Their menu is plantbased, which isn't a favorite for a hardcore carnivore like me, but I'm glad I tried it. I got the Smurf latte, which just tasted like warmed up coconut milk. Sure, it's what they're known for, but I'd say to try something else. I tried the peanut butter latte, and that was better. For food, we got the Rainbowl. Felt like I was back in Bali!!! Such a healthy meal, and a good way to try three of their bowls at the same time. It's pricey, but I'd say it's worth one time. read more

This is one of my 'goto' places in Melbourne - super friendly staff, amazing vegan food, neon rainbow wings, and puns aplenty (and the hollandaise eggs) see me returning to this cafe on an almost weekly basis. The range of lattes on offer is astounding, you can almost drink the rainbow in this gorgeous cafe. If you've not had the chance to visit before, do yourself a favour (alternatively, do yourself a flavour - boom-tish) and head in for amazing vegan eggs, no clucks given popcorn chickn, or the rainbow pancakes / range of lattes. read more

I'm not plant based, but I decided to visit this iconic spot in St. Kilda for a friends birthday. I had heard very good things about this restaurant but it really changed my thoughts on going into a plant based lifestyle. First off, the lattes are so cool! We tried the flight, that came with 4 signature lattes made by the barista. We got to try charcoal, mushroom & date, turmeric, beetroot, purple peanut butter and blue algae! They were very unique and creative. Very picturesque! We shared all of our plates, we got the "fried chicken" sandwiches that came with curly fries and a type of aioli. The sandwich was on a green matcha bun, so cool! And it was really tasty, I had no idea that it wasn't even chicken! The birthday boy got the matcha pancakes and they were AMAZING! Chocolate sauce just oozing off of the green pancakes, lots of colour on the plate and a perfect scoop of ice-cream! I want to go back to try the Mac & Cheese Waffles and their signature poached eggs! They look so real! read more

After seeing a Facebook post about all the vegan places in Melbourne, especially the visually stunning video of their burger, we made a special trip to come here. It's only a 15 minute tram ride from CBD. Like other reviews, it is a bit over priced for what you get. We split a jackfruit burger. It is beautiful with the green bun but the ratio of bun to jackfruit is sad. Considering jackfruit is huge, you'd think we'd get a bit more. Mostly bun though. The included side of fries was minimal....disappointed. It's also very hipster and it was full of young, well tanned and thin girls using the word "like" every other word on their conversation. Unlike some reviews though, our service was friendly and immediate. No wait and he was very nice. What's the deal with ketchup here? So far no one supplies it or else you have to pay for it. read more

After i order the food I wait for whole one hour to get the food, and the food is disappointing. I know it is a vegan restaurant but it make everything so weird. It took soooo long for food serve. There are ice cube in Açaí Bowl and the ice shake didn't taste good. The chicken burger tastes sour and it look plain. The matcha latte taste like milk with no matcha. Never go here again. read more

Never have i ever been treated so badly with snobby staff, hoity-toity overpriced food and awful flavours. I arrived at around 9.45 on a Sunday and asked for a table of four. We were told a 15 minutes wait and were told that we would receive a text. No text had been received by 10.30. When I went to inquire I was told that it was a further 20 minutes wait. We then decided to make a move as the waitress refused to give us a table outside despite it having been empty for 15 minutes. When we began to walk away after yelping another place, she ran after us and told us we could sit outside. When seated, we noticed there was a table inside for four but when asked if we could move we were told that it would mean removing us from one list and putting us on another list which would mean another hour long wait. Wtf! How is this reasonable! Insanity I say!!?! The prices are outrageous. Between us we ordered the following: 1. Chicken soy burger on matcha bun with mushroom bacon and sweet potato fries - didn't taste like chicken, didn't have the texture of chicken, mushroom bacon was sweet and smoky, quite bland, needed some sauce, sweet potato fries were cold and slightly soggy - where are the salt and pepper shakers 2. Salmon (red capsicum), vegan eggs and potato rosti - vegan eggs taste like coconut with a weird texture 3. Corn fritters with saffron hollandaise sauce - hollandaise sauce tastes like broccoli 4. Carrot cake latte - small sized, interesting is all I can say. Wouldn't get it again. 5. Matcha matcha - massive cup, very sweet 6. Mork hot chocolate - tasted floury and bitter 7. Jackfruit bbq - meant to be like pulled pork. Tastes nice and spicy like a chutney - best thing we had and it's a side. So that's saying something. Very overpriced for what you get. I mean a latte is 8 bucks with a shot of espresso and the size is small. Small!! The water is meant to provide three times the hydration than other water. What a load of bull. I drank the entire bottle and it didn't quench my thirst and that is around 12 cups of water so yeah! Glasses looked dirty and sticky. The food tastes awful. I have had better vegan/ vegetarian food. And the service is outrageous. They refused to bring the bill to our table. And when we went to pay at the counter, the waitress yelled out "MOVE- EEE". Seriously some irritable attitude. Maybe she needs to eat some bacon. read more

I am more than willing to admit that I have been swept up in the health-focussed craze that is currently making it's way through Melbourne. Not a day can pass me by without the words Organic! Plant-based! Turmeric! and so on, being thrown in my face. I don't mind it. I like to pretend to be healthy too. And so I trekked out to St Kilda with a pal (we call St Kilda the Gold Coast) and found ourselves at Matcha Mylkbar. I was actually quite surprised by how small the space was. It could probably only seat about 30 people and is a very simple set-up. Now, I mean this with all the love and compassion my body can hold, the service here is weeeeeeird. When we walked in, a few staff members looked at us but no one spoke. We waited a few minutes before someone finally came up and said "So what's going on?" Umm, I'm hungry. That's what's going on. Eventually he offered us a seat (after we had to go for a walk for 15 minutes) before I had to flag down yet another staff member to order. Thankfully, my 'longevity bowl' came out very fast, as did my matcha latte - both were absolutely delicious. I had the Costa Rica 'longevity bowl' - called that as it is based on the diets of the long-lived populations of the world's so-called blue zones. It featured quinoa, blue corn taco, corn, mixed beans, sweet potato and dehydrated blood orange. The quinoa was a little over-powering but overall this was an incredibly delicious and filling meal. So finally, after being fed a delicious meal things were looking up for Matcha Mylkbar... until the staff diddled it up once again. I waited at the counter for five minutes to pay while the three staff members chatted amongst themselves. Finally I overheard one of them say "Should one of us serve this woman?" DO YA THINK? The owners have done well to create an original menu, showcasing plant-based ingredients and creating some truly memorable and delicious meals. They just need to train up their staff. read more

I was a little wary about eating at Matcha having read and heard negative reviews but finally bit the bullet as I have wanted to try it out for some time and am glad I did. I love the whole concept, set up & layout and menu choices here. I think Matcha is a great addition to the diversity of Melbourne restaurants and the cafe scene. I ordered the Matcha pancakes with lychee, raspberry, passionfruit, white chocolate sauce, macadamia crumb, lemongrass and macadamia ice cream. I wasn't sure what impact the lemongrass would have on the dish but all together it just works! My friend had the soy chicken burger with mushroom bacon, avocado, beetroot and sweet potato fries and she really enjoyed her meal. The service was just O-kay ..not great and definitely has room for improvement but aside from that the chefs out the back clearly know what they are doing. This place is definitely a niche in the market and won't be for everyone but is great for something different. read more

This place is a go to for me and my friends. They always switch up the menu so there's always something new to try and eat and every time & when I try something new I'm never disappointed. The decorations inside are also very interesting and Instagram-able so we love coming here and taking a cute picture for the road. Not to mention their iced Matcha with coconut milk is my favorite drink on the menu. Don't ever change matcha! read more

Matcha Mylkbar - Latte flight! - Vegan Near Me - Saint Kilda, VIC

Food nerd alert! From a faraway land (Perth) I spotted Matcha Mylkbar in a field (Instagram) and immediately set my sights (stomach) on checking the cafe out and it did not disappoint. The menu is more than words about food, it's an education. Starting off with 'Blue Zone Bowls' that lists the top 5 healthiest cultures in the world and creates wholesome plant based abundance bowls accordingly. The Loma Linda, California bowl caught my eye with coconut rice, lentils, guacamole, pineapple salsa and kasundi style peanut sauce that I want to marry - or alternatively, take home a jar of. It was filling with surprising flavour combos and beautiful presentation. I couldn't go 'Gram crazy on the famous green matcha pancakes due to the gluten factor (although the owner tells me it will soon be GF!) - but I did one better by adding a VEGAN EGG to my California bowl, and boy o boy did my excitement meter crash through the vine wrapped roof! Hear me out (I can see your nose turning up) - it's a Melbourne invention using sweet potato, turmeric and coconut to reimagine the humble poached egg. The result? Satisfaction with a side of surprise - the egg white element does in fact taste exactly like the original, but the yolk (while impressively coloured 'egg' yellow) wasn't enough of a savoury hit for me. But definitely worth the intrigue of the experience. The sweet potato fries with almond butter (top points for putting my two favourite things right when) is a must order. And plant based experimenters will love the 'mushroom latte' made from medicinal chaga and coconut milk. I'd also try the turmeric latte and chai tea. Top marks for culinary creativity! The cafe itself is quite small and bustling - so 2-4 people or a solo rendezvous is ideal for a meal of plant based magic. read more

Matcha Mylkbar - Vegan Near Me - Saint Kilda, VIC

Jumped off the plane and thought I better try to have a healthyish breakfast right?! The place was busy but not packed and this time I was able to get hot food. Walking in, you may find their hosting is a bit on the slow end...I had to go uo to the counter to ask for a seat however when I did the owner quickly cleared a spot by the window for me which was perfect as I wanted to sneak in some reading. I ordered the wiz kale-leafa smoothie which is a mix of kale, matcha, mango, strawberry and almond mylk served in a skull mug (probably my favorite part). The smoothie was filling but the flavour was quite plain, perhaps a larger kick of mango would be nice and for $12 a pop I wouldn't order it again. As the kitchen was not completely running last visit I decided to try hot food this time: potato gnocchi with eggplant bolognase, spinach and beans. It was tasty with bouncy gnochhi but for the size I would hesitate paying $20 for it. Before I left, I ordered an apple pie latte to go. Yes sounds awesome doesn't it...I love apple pie, apples and cinnamon but for $5 in a small take away cup...hmmm Don't get me wrong, love the concept, the design of the place and the menu but a few observations: - staffing concerns, communication and areas...people were not acknowledged and seated - hot food arrived before drinks, roughly 20 mins for hot food, about another 10 mins for smoothie. - take away drink orders...mine got lost in the queue and others I noticed took a good time - noise may be an issue for those who want a quite sanctuary to enjoy the St Kilda sun and do some mindful coloring in =p If I am in the area I am curious to try more odd lattes and the pancakes look pretty but for the price and service (though friendly) it may not be something an average vegan Joe can go to all the time. It will be interesting to see how they grow! read more

// eggs on toast // This is a must. No matter how tempted you are to order other things in the menu, the eggs on toast is hands down the blockbuster at Matcha Mylkbar. We've had vegan eggs from different restaurants and cafes around the world but this one is different. The texture of the egg is marvelous and tastewise, it doesn't disappoint. We were expecting it to be salty but it wasn't. Which is what sets it apart from the other ones that we've tried before. It goes on well with the toast and the flavour gets more and more pronounced with every bite. // soy chicken burger, mushroom bacon, avocado, beetroot kraut, matcha bun, beetroot hummus, sweet potato fries // You've never had a burger like this before. Trust me on that. New York, I Love You - yes that movie with a stellar cast. It's just like this burger. It has all the things that you want in a burger. Not only that, the patty blew me away. It was so good that I had doubts if it was really vegan. But alas, it is vegan. The matcha bun was fluffy and it gave the burger a shot of something extraordinary. Who would've thought that matcha would go well with something this savoury? Another good thing about this burger is that the sauce did not overpower the patty nor the burger itself. The combination was definitely superb. This burger is probably the best first date burger. It's not messy and it's pleasing to the eyes. You'd definitely score a kiss or two. // matcha pancakes // For some reason, eating these pancakes took me back to watching Lost In Translation back in the early 2000. If I can explain the flavour in terms of films, it would be likened to the perfect on-screen chemistry between Bill Murray and Scarlett Johansson. The pancakes are delicately smooth and pleasing with a very thin veil of agave syrup. Upgrade it with ice cream and it feels like Shibuya in your mouth - sweet, innocent, playful - pleasing all the senses. Pancakes should be made like this. Perhaps, it's the new gold standard. read more

I read about Matcha Mylkbar a few times in a Melbourne magazine so I was very excited to try this place out when I went over to St Kilda for the festival. I didn't do too much research so I didn't know it was a completely vegan cafe which was fine since we only ordered drinks. I went for the matcha latte, and my friends ordered a cafe latte, cacao latte, and a strawberry smoothie. The matcha latte was nothing like I've had before. I'm very used to matcha having a sweeter taste but this one tasted like straight unsweetened green tea, a little grassy. Not to my liking but if you like your matcha lattes unsweetened, this may be for you. I was told that you can find better cafe lattes in Melbourne and that the cacao latte was good, but tasted just like a hot chocolate. The smoothie was so good !! The atmosphere of this place is great. There are about 10 tables and it's very simple. Service was okay. You had to flag someone down to take your order if you weren't ready as soon as they brought water to your table. Prices were not cheap but not extremely high either. Next time I would go back for a smoothie and to try some of their vegan food! read more

I came in here looking for matcha soft serve / ice cream, but they didn't have any that day :( My friend and I still stayed and decided to eat there because we were starving and damn, am I glad we did. Got the matcha burger and I have to say it is my new favorite vegan burger. It was so refreshing, filling and yet light. The beetroot hummus was a great addition that made it very bright and tasty. The matcha bun was surprisingly soft and flavorful and the patty was out of this world. I questioned whether it was vegan for a while and that's when you know it's bomb. I would have been happy eating this burger for days, but I didn't want to spend my vacation on just one spot. Aside from the food, this place is located in a great spot - a few minutes walking distance from the tram and right on Acland. The service could have been better, but the food was so on point that I overlooked the slowness and inattention from the staff. I definitely will be back in St. Kilda in the future and will look forward to stopping by again :) read more

Such an awesome place! Great vibe, really focused on bringing deliciousness to the people. So surprised that it is all vegan, everything was so yummy. I had a dragonfruit acai bowl because I'm still recovering from having my wisdom teeth out but it was one of the most favourful acai bowls I've ever had! It had nice crunchy honeycomb sort of things in it too for an extra dose of sweetness. Hilariously named smoothies like "when kahleesi wears Lycra" and "excuse me but I find you very appealing". Sounds so silly to say, but as our waitress pointed out that's the whole fun behind it! The "I find you very appealing" smoothie tasted like pancakes and was just awesome! The smoothies are huge though, would definitely recommend sharing between two people! Check my blog @twocogsinawheel for my full review! read more

Wow, all things matcha here!! Interesting that all the dishes are vegan and plant-based, including a very well-disguised egg! We tried the Matcha burger and the Big Breakfast.

Not necessarily the most delicious, but glad we were able to try it! read more

If you just need a new Instagram photo that looks very pretty, this is your place. I saw lots of fancy plates that you will definitely pay for a photo. Admittedly I only came here for coffee, well their matcha latte to be exact. As one of the cheapest items on the menu at $6 I found that difficult to swallow. The coffee prices only go up from there, one costing $12! This is without alcohol! The drink had a lot of matcha flavour but I wasn't impressed with the mix of soy milk. There were coconut and almond milk options as well. With loads of better vegan, coffee and matcha options all over the city, take your money elsewhere. read more

Matcha Mylkbar merely open a month ago, located on the corner of St Kilda's Acland and Carlisle St. It's a plant-base cafe which mean it's entirely vegan and it's also Australia's first dedicated matcha cafe. This amazing concept cafe opened by Sarah Holloway, Nic Davison (founder and owner of Matcha Maiden), Mark and Attil Filippelli (Il Fornaio, The Last Piece and Brighton Schoolhouse). The cafe gain popularity instantly in Instagram even before it opens and sold out pretty early 3 days in a row read more

Seating can be limited given its popularity but they do have a takeaway counter. read more

This place is over rated. I don't really know how to describe this place so I'm going to do a pros and cons list. I would recommended other healthy food cafe options. Pros: You can choose to have a 4 taster of all the lattes they had. I didn't ask if I could request one would be in the 4 but she refused to even ask for me and was quite rude The charcoal latte was great The food does look amazing I would love to go try different options Cons: Waiting 30 mins to be seated and 45mins to receive our food when we saw people who came after us come eat and go Cold press juice tiny and very bland Order pumpkin gnocchi with eggplant and got potato gnocchi with falafel (though it was nice it wasn't what we ordered and wasn't even on the menu) read more

I went here expecting not the best service given the reviews I've seen on this pretty place. I must of come in on a good day because everyone was lovely & brought out our meals, lates & shakes as quick as possible! (I tried both the smurf latte & red latte-red is definitely delicious & smurf is pretty to look at but needs getting used to taste wise but still a drink I'd get again! And I had the Mac and cheese waffles which were very tasty the mushroom pancetta definitely was a hit too! My boyfriend had the Oreo shake which was heavenly & the matcha pancakes which he liked) So at this stage I'd definitely visit again if in St Kilda! Thankyou read more

It was good but not amazing. I love matcha latte or matcha cake and I want to eat in this place. But it's very noisy and very long to have your meal. The matcha latte was good but the soy chicken burger was like an other burger. It was disappointing because matcha bread had the same taste like an other bread. But it's cool if you want try matcha and eat beautiful salad. They have many drinks with matcha (cold or hot) and they looks beautiful. read more

I was very excited to try this new place when I saw they were offering matcha type food, from late to burgers so I ordered a matcha late and a matcha burger !! II was good but not great when I compare it other places serving the same things. The overall place is nice but the opened bar makes it very noisy as the loud blenders are constantly running ! Naturally people are speaking louder, plus the music in the background, after a few minutes you feel like you just want to leave and find a quieter place to hang out read more

I'm actually really disappointed, in not only the food, but the service as well. I was pretty keen on going to this place because it seemed like a cool idea. When we rocked up they couldn't seat us and we were prepared to wait. We said we'd even sit outside on a 5 degree day just so we could eat there. So we get a text in 30 mins to come back and sit at our table outside. It was freezing but we thought it would be worth it. It was not! We waited a good 10 mins in the cold before we even got menus- then a further 20 for our coffees- mine was cold and they got the order wrong for my sister's so she had to wait a further 10 mins for them to bring her correct drink. We then waited a total of 45 mins for our food. During this time I saw tables being left empty inside. I was actually really annoyed that they didn't instinctively say "Oh you can come out of the cold now- theres 3 free tables in here!". I have worked in hospitality for a while and always in the fore front of my mind is the needs of the customer and what I can do to make sure they're comfortable and enjoying their experience. We finally got the food and I was not impressed at all. We waited 45 mins for some eggs on ONE PIECE OF BREAD (not toast- bread- of which I was surcharged $2 for in place of the corn fritters that it comes with?????) and some green pancakes. My sister seemed to enjoy her food but my meal was very underwhalemtng and more expensive! Our waitress was pretty hopeless- she mucked up our food order as well as the drinks and we didn't get our sweet potato fries that we ordered- I was thankful that we did get them in the end (after waiting a further 15 mins) because I was pretty hungry after my piece of bread, 2 eggs and some flowers. We go up to pay and its $60.....I paid $60 for some eggs and flowers, green pancakes, 2 drinks and some fries???? In my opinion it was far too expensive. At least if you're going to make it that expensive at least make the meals wholesome and meaty so our customers aren't leaving broke and hungry. My dad's partner owns a cafe (Vertue of the Coffee Drink) and he prices his food around the same as Match Mylkbar but he actually gives you food. He feeds the hell out of you. You leave full to the brim. I just think service could have been more customer orientated and meals could have been a lot better. Probably won't go back to this obvious gimmick of a cafe. read more

I had been wanting to go to Matcha Mylkbar for ages after following them on Instagram, however when I finally got there it was the most underwhelming and disappointing experience. My best friend and I decided to split two mains because we were so excited to try the food, but... Soy chicken burger ($20) - the mock chicken itself was tasty, but the matcha bun was dry af and there was barely anything else in the burger. It was served with regular chips (sweet potato chips were written on the menu?) with matcha salt and they were soggy, only had a few and stopped. Okinawa bowl ($18) - lettuce, cabbage, carrot, cucumber with a super small serving of matcha noodles. This was the better dish out of the two, but there was no sauce, which left the dish very dry. And $18?! What a joke, I could have made it at home for under $5 and it would have been a lot tastier. The only saving grace was the smoothie selection - I had the almond based one and my bestie had the matcha. At $12, it's pretty steep, but it was definitely the best thing we had. The staff are also way too cool and don't really seem to give a shit. I guess they're most likely not going to have to worry about getting people through the door so they don't have to worry about treating people nicely either. Soooooo many better health food cafes around Melbourne - don't waste your time or money. read more

A friend told me about this place. While he had not been there himself, he was following it on social media and was keen to go. I made the trek from Richmond on the tram with my partner to check this place out. When we arrived at about 1:15pm a staff member was talking with two customers at the entry. I over heard the staff member say there was a 30 minute wait for a table. They decided to wait outside the 30 mins. As the customers walked away the staff member ignored me, picked up her iPhone and started texting. Appalling customer service! I said "Hi! I would like a table for two". She continued to stare at her phone and text while saying, "There's a 90 minute wait". Wait, what? The last people were told there is a 30 minute wait ?! What tha?! I did not feel welcome. Looking at the staff perhaps I'm considered too old and too fat to be thought to enjoy vegan food. I honestly felt it was a tactic to turn people away. Still no eye contact from said staff member I told her, "No thanks!" She looked at me a little shocked. Finally! Eye contact! She smiled and blurted out something that resembled a clumsy apology as I walked away. I will not be making that trek again. I could have been tempted to wait the 30 mins but not with that service. Too much attitude. And from reading other reviews this is not uncommon. I tried calling to speak with a manager to express my dissatisfaction but got the voice message. Even the recorded message was with attitude. After leaving I jumped online and made a booking at Smith & Daughter. Can't wait to dine there again tonight. Fantastic venue!! read more

A restaurant that caters for health and social conscious market. The place was packed with long wait times for a table and the crowd was generally young, which shows the signs of the times. There is section of the menu that dedeicated to Vegans. I am pretty sure that Matcha Myke doesn't use real eggs. So you wonder what have they substituted for the holandaise sauce but it was yellow in colour. All your favourite breakfast items are available as sides he potato rosti, corn fritters, egg plant meatballs. You can actually combine sides and make your own version of a main. And the sides are $4 each so it not a bad idea to mix and match the sides. The sweet potato fries comes with almond butter. I had the soy chicken which looks like a favourite as many tables had order that dish. The bread is green as it must have matcha powder added to it. I wasn't a fan of matcha latte but the tameric latte I found was quite nice. It might be in my head but I found the structured water quite good. I enjoyed the inspired menu and guilt free/healthy dining of matcha Myke. read more

When my friend asked to went out for brunch, I was excited to try this place as it is also close to where we live. Had read about their colorful latte and yet to try out. Heading there around 11am today, was told needed about 20 mins wait and will be receiving a text when the table is available. About 30 mins later (just about we gonna give up the wait), received a text stating the table is available and response with a "Y" to confirm. Walked back to the shop in less than 5 minutes, and was told for some reason the customer not leaving yet and needed to wait for a further 5 mins. Hanging around the shop for another 10 mins before finally able to sit down. Put in our order straight away as we had too much time reading the menu while waiting. Food take long to arrive, about 30 mins where my coffee almost finish. Worst part of the whole service is when we went up to the counter to pay, only saw a little piece of paper sneakily sliding between jars on the counter stating "15% surcharge applicable due to public holiday". Looking at this totally put down my day. This information should had been put up at the front of the shop before the customer put in their order. And for a sit-down-order cafe, customers would only know about this after they had finished their meal and went up to the counter to pay. This is some kind of cheating and rip-off from the customer. Beyond that, 15% surcharge is a lot upon the already pricey menu. Customer has a right to know about the price before they made their order. We could always made a choice to come back on a normal day if we had known about this earlier, not talking that we needed to wait more than an hour to finally eat our food. Disappointing experience!!! read more

I've been to matcha a few times since I left my first review. I took my friend there for her birthday for pancakes. She loved them. The coffee is still great however every time I go the matcha latte tastes so different depending on who makes it. I'm sure if I complained they would change it for me, I'm just not very good at complaining or being assertive so if it's bad I just don't drink it. Unfortunately my friend was really unimpressed with the bathroom they were so dirty and so was the table. Cocktail napkins instead or full size napkins. (First world problems I know, for the price and the location you would expect cleanliness) Again the staff are fine not super friendly but not rude. There are other places on acland that perhaps don't have as interesting a menu yet are so welcoming and the place is really clean that I would prefer to go. read more
