    I had reserved a table outside but it was raining and the staff were so happy to relocate our party indoors and out of the weather. Nothing was a problem. The food was beautifully presented and flavourful. Thank you for another really great dining experience.

    Regularly use Autumn Rooms as a breakfast venue so I am in a position to say Saturday’s visit was below normal standards. The waffle was a questionable recipe, not traditional waffle - probably as a breakfast needed some blueberries or raspberries served with it. The bacon on the Eggs Benedict dish was much thinner than normal. The fries were totally overcooked, being extremely crisp. Service was good, but surprised that the Saturday surcharge has now increased to 15%.

    Our group of four decided to meet up at the Autumn Rooms yesterday for lunch, and we were blown away by the food, service, atmosphere and the amazing coffee! We all ordered something different off the menu and as each plate came out, there was plenty of ooh-ing and ahh-ing. Next time I'm visiting Darby Street, I know where I'll be returning for lunch or arvo tea.

    The service was excellent and the food amazing. The waitress really looked after my friend who has a food restriction for medical reasons.

    Excellent breakfast experience. Requested to be seated outside with 2 little ones with us, age 5 and 2. Staff made them very comfortable. Provided colouring in activities. Meals were great, the stand out was the eggs benedict. Best i've ever had! Kids bacon and eggs on toast were a very generous size. Will be back!

    Autumns Rooms is the place you take you friends/family once, and then continue to ask to meet there every time they visit because they've learned that every aspect of AR is fabulous. It's my favourite recommendation because it never misses.

    We were disappointed with our overall experience. We were seated in the outdoor area and felt that there were too many tables squeezed into the area. We were constantly interrupted by staff needing to reach over our table to access cutlery etc for other tables. Our food when it arrived was only warm.
