Found the staff really friendly. I got the chicken burger. Spicier than I expected but really tasty. My friend got Bae and it was a bit basic, just bacon and eggs on toast (she didn’t like the relish), but she did like it. Overall pretty happy :)

The Smug Fig is one of my favourite places to visit, but the day was unbearably hot. Not the restaurant's fault, but there were no fans or air-conditioning units. Next time I will choose a cooler day. The noise level was very high, with many people having a good time. The staff were all very helpful and friendly. Despite the large crowd, the food was served promptly.

Food was pretty good, but they're advertised as pet friendly so we took 2 small dogs, the first server said 'we don't usually let them on the floors so if you could just keep them in the back corner that will be fine', but after some of the group had finished their meal they took the dogs for a short walk, and were told by another server they weren't allowed back to our table with them, which made the remaining people in the group feel like they needed to rush through their meals.

Food was average, a very long wait for food after being seated (45 minutes), and waited 25 minutes to be seated. I appreciate that it was Father’s Day.

Food was average but the real problem was the rude waitress. We accidently ordered bacon instead of salmon so asked for an extra side order of the salmon instead. You'd think it was the end of the world. She snatched the plates off the table and slammed them down without saying a word when she returned. Wouldn't return for this reason.

Great coffee, great food and good service. Suggest rubber or felt be place under the legs of the chairs to reduce the noise when a chair is moved.

I had the eggs benedict and while it was delicious and beautiful to look at, I was less than impressed at the fact that it was small and included only half a bagel. For $18, I expected a bit more.

First time customers. We were a bit worried about the location regarding parking, but there was no issues with parking at all. We had an amazing breakfast so much to choose from, everything is beautifully presented and fresh. Will definitely be taking my friends and family back there. The potato hash was to die for!

The atmosphere is tired looking. The food was slightly overpriced for basic cafe fare and no wait service is unusual for a cafe asking those prices. Really bad flies all around our food.
