Tripadvisor’s approach to reviews
Before posting, each Tripadvisor review goes through an automated tracking system, which collects information, answering the following questions: how, what, where and when. If the system detects something that potentially contradicts our community guidelines, the review is not published.
When the system detects a problem, a review may be automatically rejected, sent to the reviewer for validation, or manually reviewed by our team of content specialists, who work 24/7 to maintain the quality of the reviews on our site.
Our team checks each review posted on the site disputed by our community as not meeting our community guidelines.

Well the menu sounded great, very good selection to choose from!
We checked in using the covid app but no one was checking if customers did it or not. Staff were wearing masks around their chins and manager walking around with mask in pocket.
Not good environment to sit in and eat our meal.
All the signs around said people must follow the rules and mandatory check in but they arent following the mandatory rules here!
My husbands meal came and his drink and then 20 mintutes later we asked where mine was.
Waiter walked past us after that with a meal that looked like mine and said as he walked by "this isnt yours I will check on yours next".
Then walked it to another table and returned to me with it and said "this is yours".
Very odd all round.
My meal was nice although it was called "smoked salmon bagel" which was not a bagel but a white crusty bread roll and no spinach on it as per the menu.
My husband got what he ordered and liked it.
I would not go back and I certainly think people should tell you if they cant give you what the menu item says, not substitute and not bother to mention it!
$40+ for two breakfasts and one drink.
I would expect better food and service.

Went again for Breakfast. Overall this was nice, but, after paying, and leaving saw on a Board a Breakfast Special, of which we had had two serves but not charged what was advertised. I questioned this at the Counter and the answer was ," You didn't ask for the Special"
There was No Sorry, or maybe here is the difference.
Disappointed.

Staying at Sofitel and as raining went down lift to Oasis centre and found Base. Best coffee we have had all week but ask for double shot. Inside or outside dining options. Crispy bacon just as requested very tasty

Waited half an hour to receive two meals wrong. Salad with chicken...paid extra but no chicken. Big breakfast, which had cold greasy sausages, cold eggs, cold toast all just thrown in a bowl. Yep, their plates are big bowls. Granted, the service wasn’t terrible. But 3rd visit in a row where the food has been wrong. Never again!!!

Ordered the breakfast bruschetta with smoked salmon and avocado for $22, expecting something reasonably substantial. What a disappointment, needed a magnifying glass to find it, one tiny piece of toast with minimum ingredients. Overpriced and under delivered. We do breakfast everywhere and this was the worst. Coffee average. Staff lovely and overall service fine.

We have frequented this restaurant for many years. Both good and bad service depending on the staff.
The owner is absolutely lovely but needs to monitor the staff more frequently especially the new ones.
We went yesterday after a long absence to have coffee tea and toast. The pot of tea came out with no tea bag! Really! In a restaurant! The owner probably didn’t have a clue as the staff member covered for it and we waited for the tea bag. Not acceptable at all considering the cost of a cup of tea with a tea bag.! Not real tea! You must look after the locals who’ve been with you for years and not use Covid or bad service as an excuse.
Gayle and Chris with assistance dog Harlow. Now Teddy the poodle.
A shame Lime restaurant closed as your competition as they were the ultimate professionals!

Absolutely terrible.
Waited an hour for cold food.
A little egg and 2 bits of huge toast.
Just a joke.

We went for coffee and cake Sunday afternoon and were treated to really unprofessional service.
Totally unfocused when taking our order then surprise surprise, got it wrong.
We are not hard to please, just want a relaxing coffee but you won’t get that here.
Make sure you don’t go late Sunday afternoon as unless there is a new staff member
replacing the male who we were unlucky to encounter you might as well go to Madison’s.

Broadbeach local and very disappointed. Ordered smashed avo w/ hommus, feta, poached eggs, etc. Sounded substantial, paid close to $20. Got 1 measly slice of barely toasted toast, a tiny smidge of hommus and a few crumbs of feta. I asked for another piece of toast and was told, “that’s how it’s served”. Lol, OK, good luck surviving on your tiny $10 breakfasts.

They were a little busy but i would not say flat out. Ordered drinks and food, fold came out first but drinks never came out. We asked for a refund. Food was cold, bread was like a brick.
