Got in here before the blizzard, was able to be seated 4 people with no reservation. The wings stood out and it was my first time trying kangaroo, with the kangaroo skewers. Very similar to lean beef, I enjoyed it. Overall it was a great experience.

Great place to go for a brunch 😋 I went on Sunday around 10:45am and the host was able to get the table for us right away. Everyone was friendly and welcoming. Food was great 👍 The only reason I gave 4 star because it was very cold inside. I wasn't able take off my padded jacket 🥶

So happy they reopened in Williamsburg! It’s a great new spot conveniently located on Grand street. The food was amazing! I think it’s my new favorite avocado toast. Service was a bit slow but they comped drinks and a snack as a sorry and explained they had just gotten a huge Togo order. Not a problem!<br>Go try it out, it was great! Def make a reservation for brunch on the weekends.

I am looking forward to coming back. The food and drinks have been exceptional. Our waiter was so attentive and the service is super fast. We sampled everything from the whipped feta, peppers, broccolini, kangaroo bites, truffle Mac and cheese, lamb ratatouille, espresso martini flight. There wasnt any dish nor beverage that we didnt like. Looking fwd to returning.
Response from the owner
Mate, this is top-notch reviewing. We appreciate your kind words, and can't wait to have you back for more. Cheers!<br>
I stopped by this Australian brunch restaurant after seeing some great reviews. I wasn’t sure what to order, so I asked the staff for recommendations and tried these three dishes:<br><br>- Mushroom Toast: Don’t let the simple name fool you. This one was packed with rich mushroom flavor. One bite and I was hooked!<br><br>- Kangaroo Tucker: My first time trying kangaroo meat! It didn’t have any off-putting smell and paired nicely with the sauce. A bit on the chewy side, though—definitely a fun one-time experience 😅<br><br>- Strawberry Tiramisu: Exactly what you'd expect and more—sweet creamy tiramisu topped with fresh strawberries and a tangy berry purée. Great combo!✨<br><br>Overall, the atmosphere was lovely, and the service was super friendly. Definitely recommend if you're looking for a good spot in Williamsburg.

Food was flavorful and delicious ! The kangaroo tasted like fillet mingnon to me I’m glad I tried it. Fried cauliflower was amazing. Service was good and food came out pretty quick! Nice atmosphere.
Response from the owner
Stefanie, we're stoked you had an amazing experience with us! The culinary team puts in a lot of TLC into every dish, so it's great to hear the flavors hit home. Looking forward to serving you again soon.
Had a late breakfast here on a Friday morning and it was very peaceful. The food was beautifully presented and tasted just as good. Only critique would be the higher prices, but this is the market we are in these days, sadly. Great Aussie cafe !
