Brunch in the City

Nice atmosphere cafe/restaurant right in the CBD overlooking the river and a stones throw from the ocean. Great wait staff. Kim was fabulous. Efficient and friendly. Great food with short wait time. The chef catered very well to my wife’s G.F.

Great lunch

Popped in to The Good Home for a late lunch on a sunny Sunday afternoon. Food was reasonably priced and absolutely beautiful. Service from Kim was excellent. Great experience with relaxing view over the river.

A great discovery.

Found this place on a walk around the shopping area. Had a beer on the first visit, and was impressed with the service, and surprising tranquility of sitting outside by a stream, in the city. The second visit was for a lunch of three cheese...More

My social meetup experience.

My dish was salmon #ceviche with mandarin segments and purple micro herbs. Chickpea salad and Caesar salad was also very popular. Lovely catch up in a good environment. Nice food! Our chocolate cake was so delicious.

Ok - expensive

To be fair the food - steaks - were nice but at the price you expect top service and sadly that was not the case. When a waitress comes to the table and announces "anyone thirsty" - one realises fairly quickly one is not in...More

So, so, not worth raving about

Visited with a group of 6 people. Atmosphere: 5/5 funky, homely vibe Service: 2.5/5. I ordered 4 things, staff got three of them wrong, they didnt compensate at all. Then my friend made a mistake in her order and they made her pay for it.More
