Had to seat ourselves and find our own menus as there were no staff members in sight to aknowledge us when we arrived. Waited an hour for a club sandwich. See pic - this is not a club sandwich, more like a burger. Did not match the description in the menu at all. Ordered 2 scoops of ice cream for our daughter as we started the main...waited half an hour and still nothing. Couldn't wait anymore so had to leave. We had wanted to order dessert but considering the wait, we went elsewhere. The restaurant was only at half capacity. The bread plate was some dry toast with flavourless olive oil....and the cheese plate looked like it had been plated by a child, no finesse at all. Was a really, really disappointing dinner. I wish we had dined elsewhere. So upset we had to pay so much for that.

Attended the Mother’s Day lunch. Fantastic location, great view by the window and excellent service.
They had a special area set up where the kids could do craft away from the adults which was amazing!
Only downside was the high tea itself. Some of the food was great but the staff forgot half our sandwiches. After chasing them down they tracked the other half.
The cupcakes they served for high tea we’re the worst I had ever seen. I literally tried to pull a piece off the cupcake or break it in half, but it was so stale and old it was genuinely difficult to do so.
I advised a waiter to tell the chef but it was late in the afternoon and didn’t have time for replacements.
Great venue and staff, just a shame about the high tea.

The buffet breakfast had a wide variety of the usual choices any usual buffet breakfast offers. It took quite a while before they were able to serve the flat whites we ordered. Overall, we had a decent meal, and you have a nice view of Northbourne Ave - the main street thru Canberra.

We arrived an hour ago and things are pretty disorganised, we had to hunt someone down to order and we have only just received the food. It’s okay, won’t be writing home about it 😆. Being surrounded by others also complaining doesn’t help. Nice atmos/aesthetic though. I wish them luck.

Waited an hour for club sandwiches and ice cream scoops and had the wrong drinks sent our way. Staff needs more training.

Terrible service and food. First of all, myself and my friends went to have dinner at this restaurant but the service we got was terrible. We had to wait over an hour for our meals, as well as watch other people come in and get served before we got our meals. When it finally arrived, they was no apology from staff and then we got charged extra for food we didn’t order. Please do better.

Had the pleasure of tasting First Edition's new Autumn menu, it was delectable! I love Asian inspired food, bao is my weakness. I loved that they had a range pescatarian & vegetarian options! Would definitely dine here again!

We had the Giggly High Tea at First Edition this morning and had a lovely time - the staff were amazing, especially the team leader Jay who went out of his way to accommodate us and provide amazing customer service - would definitely recommend
