| - Upon entering the restaurant you are greeted by this beautiful interior space, spacious, bright, modern. The fact that they don't have couch seats is already a plus, in fact, their seats were sleek and elegant yet super comfy. Big windows that allow light in are an Food Instagramers dream, as well as fast free Wi-fi.
As you are brought to your seat, you are welcomed by a server that lists off todays specials. As for myself, I ended up ordering the Blood Orange Juice special and the Nutella Strawberry pancakes. I'd have to say the Nutella Strawberry pancakes were super fluffy and super delicious. Would totally recommend ordering if its on the menu again.
I also ended up ordering the Next door burger and the Fish and chips. Both were good, yet had some downfalls here and there. The fish and chips batter is light, airy and crisp. However it was accompanied with a not-needed curry mayonnaise, it was just odd and out of place. The burger was very flavourful, with the fat and crispiness coming from the bacon; smokiness from the smoked mozzarella; creaminess from the kewpie mayo and to cut it the fresh arugula. Despite all that, the burger was a tad too dry due to it being cooked well done, instead of a nice mid rare. Added to both dishes were rosemary potato wedges, which at first were pretty tasty but then they got boring which I speculate is because they coat it with some kind of flour which makes it too starchy.
Overall, I would definitely recommend this place to any of my friends or even take a first date here. Hope to try other things on the menu in the future
