I visited Spinifex Brewery on 30/12/2024 and had an absolutely amazing experience, thanks to the exceptional service provided by Tommy.
As a recently single father, I was a bit hesitant to enter the bustling premises with a pramāit was my first outing alone with my son after our separation. Initially, I waited to be seated, but with the place being so busy, nobody came. Feeling disheartened, I left.
However, determined to keep my promise to my son of a fish and chips lunch, I decided to return and try again. This time, Tommy greeted us warmly, acknowledging both me and my son, and led us to a table with genuine kindness. I requested a spot where the pram wouldnāt be in anyoneās way, and Tommy went above and beyond to make us feel welcome. He found us a perfect table, ensured there was enough room for the pram, and even moved a few items to make our space more comfortable.
Thanks to Tommyās hospitality and professionalism, I was able to enjoy a delicious beer while my son happily had his fish and chips. It turned out to be a perfect day, and I left feeling truly cared for.
Thank you, Tommy, for your outstanding serviceāit made all the difference. Spinifex Brewery is lucky to have someone like you...
Ā Ā Ā Read moreWe decided to try the North Beach Deli after seeing many 5-Star rave reviews. What a disappointment. Nothing was as boasted and gloated about by these reviewers or what one sees on the North Beach Deli website. Our brunch was mediocre and with one exception - their BEEF BURGER and CHIPS. If there ever was a diabolical serving disguised as cuisine, this was it. Starting with the HAND CUT CHIPS ā they were stale, overcooked and unpalatable. So, just whatās their big deal about hand cut chips? The BEEF BURGER was one of the worst I have encountered. First off, the truffled aioli was more like flavorless custard, and way too much. The cheese was a processed strip one finds in the budget section of a supermarket, as was the roll. The main ingredient, being the pulled beef, was the worst ā a slop of gravy with a few bits of pulled beef and nothing like what they show and tout on their website. Sometimes, all that is required is a simple makeover but in this case, it needs to be aborted as the BEEF BURGER we were served was more like a gravy burger ā and a soggy mess. We will...
Ā Ā Ā Read moreHad a quick breakfast a few days after it changed from being Spinifex back to North Beach Deli
Sitting out the front has always been lovely, and continues to be
Unfortunately they've dropped standards with food and service - Service was abrupt and not friendly at all
Biggest concern though is the misleading menu - the menu reads "Home Made Hollandaise Sauce" for their eggs benedict, but is absolutely not home made, it's the same packet sauce that coffee club and other chains serve - disappointing as the last breakfast I had when it was Spinifex was absolutely wonderful and everything was home made as advertised. For a restaurant to blatantly lie about their ingredients/menu items is a concern
I left most of my food on the plate, the waitress didn't ask if there was an issue, had zero care factor - I finished my coffee and continued on my way
Won't return any time soon, which is a pity as the location is wonderful, like most of the cafe's along west coast drive, they rely on a good location to keep them busy rather than good service...
