Fantastic experience at The Lowdown. Thank you to the staff who made it a really fun and entertaining brunch. We didn't catch the name of the guy serving us but he was hilarious and took really good care of me and my friends. The food was delicious - really fresh produce was clearly used as it was so flavourful, and we appreciate you accomodating our request for mimosas which were not on the menu! We will definitely be recommending this place and we will be back!

I am in two minds. To keep this neighbourhood gem as a cherished secret so we can get a table or to trumpet it and be disappointed because it is fully booked. The location and dining spaces are beautiful, the menu is kept abbreviated so you know the ingredients used will be fresh and the service by Miro (last night) and Sue (from previous dining experiences) is delightful. The bread and butter, the wagyu burger with truffle chips, fine green beans, the moules… all made delicious, fresh. Merci
