Gastrono-me

Some great eating to be had at Gastrono-me! Brunch options - hash, Avo and eggs all a served-all-day (and night) winner. Great menu of different food; meaty or vegetarian bao buns, and other asian food, or burgers, steak, pasta. A good range of customisables with lots of options to make it veggie or make it vegan, make it gluten free available too on some dishes. Starter shown here too; burata with garlic bread (oozy and yummy cheesy goodness). Good range of alcohol free/ sober drinks for grown ups in the Soda Folk pops and Luscombe bottles. The menu still lists kombucha in three varieties but I am told it is no longer stocked (Sep 2020). As a non-drinker I would ask you to please consider getting in "Nosecco" or similar (the Frexinet 00 is superb) for a celebratory glass of bubbles without the booze Due to coronavirus the tables are spaced out, staff are good at ensuring distancing including challenging other customers when needed. Staff don't wear masks but you take your own drinks off the tray to ensure One Touch which works well 👍 9/10 would recommend this place for mixed groups for dinners or lunches. An increased range of booze free bevvies (or stocking all those listed on the menu!) would make this a 10/10.

There is a very comfortable, relaxed vibe here. Clientele is quite varied: families with young children, lots of 20- and 30-somethings, and older people too. It's always good to be able to see what's going on in the kitchen, as you can here. Menu is eclectic with lots of exciting flavours. Tables are well spaced out for the current situation. Recommend booking ahead.

After being here for 2 yrs I had to drop my rating because while the food is usually very good, the service is usually hit or miss and that kills it for me. I recently came after a long absence and almost immediately remembered why. I had a reservation for opening time and I received drinks (for 2) about 25 mins after ordering. This was after getting up and asking how much longer the drinks would be. There's no excuse for this when the restaurant just opened and there's literally 4 other tables occupied at the time. No water was brought either though i asked for that as well. I also had to get up and ask our waitress if we could order as she took our drink orders a moment after seating us and hadn't even come back to our table 15 - 20 mins later. My kid kept asking if the food was almost ready and I had to tell him we hadn't even ordered yet. Then after I asked about the drinks the waitress brought them over with a little bit of an attitude. I gave more than enough time before I even asked about it. The table next to me (2 adults, 3 kids) got their drinks, food, ate,paid and left before I ever got offered the ticket. I think this particular day the issue may be more of a problem with my waitress as I haven't seen her since she brought the drinks (someone else brought the food) but I shouldn't have to get up to ask for everything from the drinks to the tickets. They really need to invest in a good customer service course for everyone just to make sure they get the one's who really need it. I honestly don't know why in this country you have to sit blankly for an exorbitant amount of time before a staff member comes to help you whatsoever and then they never ever come back forcing you to flag someone down for everything from sugar to napkins to even your ticket to just get out when you've clearly been done with your meal for 15 mins. I'm a very patient person but poor service is poor service and this country is rampant with it.

Great food! Really tasty comfort food! Had a dish of macaroni cheese with mushrooms on top and it came with garlic bread. I couldn't finish it all! Fantastic 👏

The food is insanely delicious. Staff are nice. We've been there several times and 100% percent of the time I've had to physically get up and ask for water/get refills--despite kindly asking our waiter/waitress multiple times. It almost always feels like our table doesn't get attention unless we purchase alcohol. I'm currently sitting at our table (as I publish this)a still don't have the water I asked for unfortunately.
