Review Play The Fool - Mornington

A nice cozy place near the beach. Parking can be hard as its located near the main road. There is plenty of seating indoor or outdoor according to your preference. The place has a contemporary look. A good wine selection and decent menu. The place has specials which is good for a change. The muffins are nice and overall I enjoyed my dineing experience.

Coffee was fantastic... unfortunately, that's about all I can say. Ordered coffee which was promptly delivered, and that's where the service stopped. We weren't asked if we wanted to order until we had finished our coffee and the waitress, rather embarrassingly, came over to ask "You didn't want anything else did you?". A little late for that. Service is key, for a place with such great coffee this level of service needs to be better!

Coffee was lovely! Can highly recommend the Apple, blackberry and cinnamon muffins too! Lovely wooden panelled cafe. The service was a little slow though and all of the young staff, though very friendly, all seemed a little...anxious.

Open friendly atmosphere. Staff excellent...courteous and unobtrusive. Food... excellent quality well prepared ...beautifully presented. It was really nice to be able to see the meals being prepared by the chefs. Only drawback...the chairs at the high table are very uncomfortable (all 5 of us agreed on this point) Menu had a good selection of meals both for adults and kids. Yes the place has a kid's menu and a kids highchair is available. Toilets also available.

The decor here is very warm (timber) and relaxing. The food is excellent!! Top class and a good range available. Table service was a little slow when we were there, this is the only thing that detracts from it being overall 'excellent'.

Have had lunch here a couple of weekdays. Great menu, interesting but accessible. Service a little slow, and servings, while delicious are a little small, although I guess that means you will have space for dessert!

Went to visit on 18/08 with myself and 3 friends. No acknowledgement from the waitress when we entered. Barista said hi etc and told us where our table was. Sat there for at least 10-15mins b4 we stopped the waitress and asked for coffees. She took our order (no pen or paper with orders). Drinks arrived and after 5mins we still only had 3 drinks. Friend went to barista and ordered her coffee which had been completely overlooked altho the waitress repeated our orders. We ordered our meals, again with the waitress remembering our 4 orders in her head. Meals came and AGAIN they missed our friend's order. Waitress apologised but at this stage we were a tad over it. Note to oneself...carry a notepad and pen and right down orders so mistakes don't happen. Can forgive 1 but for it to happen twice is hopeless. Food was nice and the barista was lovely. The waitress had no personality whatsoever. You can't teach/train personality. It's not hard just to treat people how you would want to be treated.

Came here for brunch, we ordered the cauliflower & chedder fritters from the special board as well as the avo toast with chilli jam. Both were amazing. Highly recomend this cafe in mornington, great food, great service.
