The Runaway Spoon - LINDFIELD

The food actually look quite presentable. Taste wise was ok, pretty standard cafe food. The service however was a bit amateur at best, at time was just lacking. Some staff just looked uncertain, or seems like they just don't know what need to be done.

For a local brunch spot this is great. Staff are lovely and the food cooked well. Just don't expect to be wowed, typical brunch options etc.
