our first meal with friends since covid shutdown and couldn't recommend this cafe highly enough for breakfast, food quality was excellent, staff prompt and friendly and topped off with a nice ambience and reasonable prices, would go back to try lunch/dinner next
Easy parking and nice street presence, inside different areas to mingle the best being the fire place area it looks stunning. Inside can get a bit loud, the coffee was good and the food was not to bad, maybe a little salty, risotto came out looking like a soup and had a bit of snowpea tendals on top which might as well be the modern day chopped parsley garnish from 1985.
A stunning space with a great wine selection available! We enjoyed a delicious pizza and some well seasoned fries.
The staff were bubbly and super attentive upon arrival right up until we left!
I can’t wait to try more of their delicious food options when I next return 💖🤤
Went this morning with the family for mothers day after riding on my bike in the morning to work and constantly seeing a flurry of people in the place. Service was prompt and the atmosphere is very warm and inviting. All 4 of us ordered different meals and everyone thoroughly enjoyed them. I personally thought that all the food and drinks were very well priced considering the quality, service and atmosphere. Well done.
Sons of Mary is a fantastic place to eat. The food is great. The service is prompt and friendly and the ambience is good. It's very well priced for the quality of the food.
Lovely day for brunch so we sat indoors but right next to the big open windows. Four of us celebrating a birthday. Quick service with coffee order taken first by a lovely waitress. Breakfast burger, poached eggs, veggie omelette & pancakes were ordered & all presented very smartly & all very delicious. Wasn't too busy when we got there at 10am but by 11.30am it was getting full. Oh & they were happy to split the bill - yay!
The moment I walked into the venue, I was comfortably at home. The strong vibe of stability, impressive interior, ambience took my breath away.
The owner, the lovely Tim went over and above the call of duty delivering excellence in customer service. He started by seating us and when a better table came available, he promptly got his staff to relocate us.
Starting drinks, I requested a glass of bubbles and Tim was forthcoming with a glass of pure gold, a superb champagne. Further to that, he brought a couple of wines to try with each course, so I enjoyed what suited my palate.
The food, needless to say was delicious, his staff were attentive. The courses came out in good time given it was a Saturday night and the place was full.
I left with the most settled feeling in my heart for the experience I encountered at Sons of Mary.
Well may you have continued success, as this business is a standout.
Thanks, Lorraine from Richmond, taken there by a local who has enjoyed this venue over time.
Classy and warm ambience, with fires and leather couches scattered around. Really impressed with speed of service and professionalism of staff. Highly recommend the barramundi. Crispy edges and a melt-in-your mouth middle, complemented by a flavourful pea sauce. Goats cheese soufflé was fairly bland. Lamb pumpkin flatbread with toasted almonds was good, but will probably try something different next time. Yes, there will be a next time, because the overall experience was really enjoyable.
This place was amazing. When we arrived it was extremely busy the staff was very polite and gave us a seat at the bar and ask us if we were interested in any tapas. We sat at the bar for about 45 minutes enjoying drinks and tapas. Which was not at all a problem for us as we were in no rush, and the atmosphere was so pleasant. I had the cauliflower it was delicious. We were then moved to a table were we ate our meal. The people I was with had the Jerusalem artichokes and the pork cutlets and I had a flat bread. We all really enjoyed our food. It was very well put together and the flavour was very well balanced. The portion were relatively small but still plenty of food. We were enjoying ourself so much we even had dessert. We had a ice cream dish and a chocolate fondant which were both perfect.
The ambience was just divine. They had a big fireplace on display which gave such a warm welcome. There was lounges as well as tables depending on your mood. The staff were very friendly & helpful. The breakfast menu is quite limited & basic but done well.
Thank you to the amazing staff and owners at Sons of Mary. They were accommodating, super amazing and their food awesome. Thank you for your wonderful customer service for the belated 50th Wedding Anniversary of our dear friends. We loved everything despite the hot weather. Look forward to coming back soon.
A fantastic restaurant. My first time visit and most certainly will be back. We had a great breakfast with bacon and eggs and the atmosphere was fantastic. We arrived just before lunch and got him for the rush. It may be advisable to actually book in advance if you want to guarantee a seat. Some tables are set up outside but I think this may be temporary regardless wherever you sit. The staff are fantastic and the food is of higher quality. Pocket is sufficient but I arrived before noon before it got real busy. I will be back
Excellent location, service, staff, delivery of food items to the table and coffee.
Highly recommend the baked eggs for breakfast.
The fresh orange juice was ok no wow factor but still not bad.
Definitely will return.
Probably one of my favourite date night spots in south east area. I would highly recommend if you have a bit extra to shell out cause food is on the pricier side, however, the service is spot on and it has a very chill and relaxed vibe. We ordered the pork and lamb and omg both were so delicious and cheap wine hits the spot! I ordered a mocktail (I don't drink)and honestly you've got to try their mocktails ~ muah! Compliments to the bar tender who made my drink <3
Great service and delicious food and the coffee was the best. Dined outdoors in the sunshine, but love to come back and sit in their comfy chesterfield couches in front of the fire with a hot chocolate on a cold day
The most delicious and tender twice cooked pork belly served with a side of apple and fennel cream, roasted broccolic, cracking and port jus. The pork belly pulls apart so easily and the cream is light and pairs well. Loved the crispy calamari which was lightly fried and served on a bed of Asian slaw and drizzled with sriracha mayo.
Had a very enjoyable lunch here with friends. We sat in the covered outdoor area. The staff were great - very friendly and helpful. Service was prompt. I forgot to take photos or notes but everything we ate was excellent. A really great place for a casual lunch.
Delicious food, great coffee. Staff are lovely and service was prompt. Nice sheltered outdoor dog friendly seating. Gluten free options available. Well worth a visit.
