The Oaks Brasserie - Canberra

We had a booking for midday last Friday and arrived to find the place cold and miserable. we were mostly ignored and finally sitting in the big plastic jam. the tables were grubby, the floor is worse. the single heating was not on and the room was. positiw ark. to this wonderful ambiente were added the budding empty milk boxes, boxes and restaurant ephemera around us. I had to go through more restaurant junk and ask if a menu was available and a single plastic coated sheet was reluctantly pointed to me that I could take. I took it back to the table where we discovered the usual 5 dinge that are offered in any other caffe in canberra. we decided not to stay. the manager and the personal must stand back and have a good look at how their grubby and badly presented caffe look for all others. presentation, cleanliness and service need some work. we were for a birthday lunch look. we didn't find it here.

Beautiful location under an interesting collection of mature trees. a preferred influx for a quiet outdoor enjoyment of coffee and unmarried dishes. very relaxed ambiente for one or two hours to enjoy. also the service has improved.

Chose the brassiere for my birthday dinner because of the safe seats in the free. service was very fast and pleasant, our drinks and meals came fast. everything was freshly cooked and we all enjoyed our food. my fish and chips were hot and crisp and the...fish was very nice, the side salad was small, but especially delicious with a really good dressing. the gluten-free brot was particularly appreciated because it was apparently really delicious. it was quiet and comfortable, easy to social distance and server were careful to wear their masks properly.

A terrible service. arrived and told me that I found a table that lasted about 15 minutes to find the personal to say that no one from the front were available and wondering if something arrived around 12 when the lunch menu begins to say that they are running from the eichenburger. instead I ordered a kicherbsalat. it was a cheap, lazy spinat bowl with about 10 cockerbsen and two cherry tomatoes that cost $20. it was hardly worth a complementary beside salad of food

We were soo disappointed. We went for lunch, after ordering waiting 1hr I asked about our order. It came 5min later. My fish chips was not fresh, definately freezer food!!! 5lettuce leaves half a cherry tomato. My friends lunch looked as if...the salmon had been sitting out drying on the shelf for a while. I could not eat mine, my friend ate an egg but didn't risk eating the rest. Amazing garden but the food has been going downhill for a while. Now its reached the bottom.
