The Guilty Moose — Restaurant in Melbourne

It is so rare for me to write a review about anything, in particular a food venue. Except this particular one. Being a new resident in Victoria, South Yarra, I found myself going to this place often. After five visits, enjoying the food, the atmosphere, the great coffee and of the service. The service to me is the one that I pay the most attention to as I believe we all have different taste buds. Service is exceptional and fun. Fun it is. The owner of that beautiful cafe makes you feel at ease and her dedicated floor attendants do care about the place. She, the owner, make you feel happy, she manages, you, to relax, take all your worries away, you know some someone ask you the question if you’re okay! Well she means very well when she asks you that question! She is fun, full of life and happy to share it with you. It’s not often you get the chance to meet someone with that effortless attitude. Attitude… she has it all and that’s why she is so successful in her busy venue. Her staff reflects her energy. Of course we all have an opinion towards the industry today… what I am saying is that we need more people like her. It’s not easy to be in her shoes everyday and for her to excel in an industry so cutthroat. But it is for us, the consumer, to write positively and to share positive...

We came in groups of six, so we managed to indulge in some dishes and all the dishes were on the scene. Apple pie spring rolls are as delicious as I imagined. Large chunks of spiced apples are wrapped in a crispy pastry, and custard and crunchy walnuts provide a texture element that takes the dish to another layer. Also not to be missed is Gingerbread French Toast. Another delicious spice is full of autumn flavor. Soft, fluffy bread absorbs all the rich creamy sauces, making this dish suitable for any sweet. Salty and sweet dishes are just as delicious. The lovely name of Phooey in Hong Kong is a hearty and comforting dish that makes me feel warm. Grilled mushrooms are a gorgeous dish filled with earthy and nutty flavors. Even the simple broccoli rice is an explosion of flavor, as expected, as it comes with cream cheese and smoked almonds. Our coffee and non-coffee, such as matcha latte, beetroot latte and turmeric latte, are as satisfying as food. A stunning cafe that everyone needs to try. Thank you...

Was looking forward to brunch here today after reading the reviews, unfortunately I was throughly disappointed.

We ordered our coffees then waited 20 minutes to order our food which was fine, we were told it would be a 'little wait' ....... Which turned out to be an hour which was too excessive especially with no updates and not even an offer to bring out the raisin toast for the baby and kid. My milkshake (which I rarely order and wanted for a treat) never came, our food eventually arrived with the 2 x pieces of raisin toast (1x burnt to a cinder and inedible), the French toast (not too bad at all), the Burrito (tasteless and full of dried egg and rice with no sauce) and the delicious mushrooms. Overall it was a really sub par experience only the French toast and Mushrooms should have been served, everything else should not have been on the menu or served in the state it was.

The waitress was polite but no ownership of the problems or apologies for the LONG wait was also...
