Deep rich coffee with a nice kick, all these flat whites are a bit rubbish down under hut jot this joint. I also had a bread and butter cake, served warm, with a clotted cream. Superb, moist and full of fruity flavour. Other half had a lemon curd cup cake that also was not dry, served warm and hit the spot.

It's hard to rate this place in comparison with inner city experience; we found it good but not stellar. It's a solid 3.5 star performer, with no pretensions and with good staff. Possibly the best on the Pt Lonsdale Rd strip.

I went with the special soup of the day - beef and barley with sourdough toast which was hearty and delicious. The side salad used local lettuce and was extremely tasty. I normally only enjoy rocket but this was a softer romaine lettuce and was fantastic. Sweet options were on offer but if you're after more sugar try the old fashioned lolly shop next door

They then called the day before the event and pulled the rug out from under us saying a wedding had booked out the entire venue, we'd been moved and drinks post could no longer happen. We tried to be civil and find a solution. There was no explanation for how they forgot there was a wedding on, not even an apology from Greg. The last part is what really kills me. If you work with this guy and think he's a twat, please take this as confirmation - your view is correct.

I don't often give a bad review and will try a place a few times before doing so to make sure it wasn't a one off event. This place has disappointed me three out of three.

I did ask for the double shit to be on the safe side but my partners single shit was acceptable too. Linguine in a tomato chili sauce with prawns and local mussels was very tasty and great value at $21. My wife was very happy with her pork panini $14 and I stole a lot if her shoestring fries. The view is good too.

It was decorated with little fairy lights. Our wait staff was initially the owner but then she left and other staff took over. They were all very nice but 2 times they brought me the wrong dish. The 1st time the owner came over and apologized saying it was her fault for the miscommunication. The 2nd occasion was after the owner left and I had the feeling the restaurant staff didn't believe me. It made me doubt myself but husband verified that I clearly ordered the scallops- we had chatted with the owner about them. Well fortunately the scallops were fabulous. They were served over mashed English peas. Also yummy. My other order was the grilled calamari served with 2 large pieces of chorizo. Calamari was great- all but one piece was melt in your mouth tender. My husband ordered the steak special (wagyu sirloin?). Steak had the fabulous flavor but too much gristle in it. To finish the meal we split a piece of bischoffs cheesecake. Total yum!

Restaurants receive ratings that discuss all the Yelp-suggested "few things to consider in [a]…read morereview: food, service, and ambiance," but there isn't a category suggested for what this restaurant encompasses. I know I can't even find one word. What makes my review particularly insightful is that I've never even been there. In fact, I live almost 9k miles away (over 14k km) on another continent. So here's the tale: My Texas daughter and Australian boyfriend (who both live in Brooklyn) just got engaged. Etiquette gives the BtoBe's family the opportunity to host the GtoBe's parents for dinner. Alas, with 16 hours and oceans separating us, I had to get creative. I set up a Zoom call for each of us, created fun games to break the ice and get to know each other, and sent each family champagne for a virtual toast. I sent dinner to my Brooklyners but had to find a way to send brunch to the Aussies so we could all have "dinner" together. I had to find locations close to their home that offered what I wanted--an elegant selection of menu items-- who could or would deliver. After approaching a dozen restaurants, only one responded ("We would be delighted to cater to (a small part) of your engagement zoom meeting on November 20th...Mimosas and all!"): Driftwood Cafe! On U.S. Nov. 19/Aussie Nov. 20, DWCafe sent our in-laws-to-be a lovely assortment of both sweets and savories, and I haven't even been invoiced yet!!! The food? Our new family couldn't have given more praise. Ambience ("the character and atmosphere of a place")? I've never experienced more character from a business, and the atmosphere they helped create was one of excitement, love, and new beginnings. Service? The definition of! Ty Simons (if my Googling has gotten his last name correct) is a jewel!
