Went here today with my mum for lunch, had a massive craving for some eggs on toast type deal (the breakfast menu finishes at 2pm which is great). Although I live in the area, I hadn't heard of the place, but the menu online looked good so that was that.
The food was amazing and generously portioned. The waitress seemed genuinely lovely (not the type that puts on "the face"). Unfortunately I can't remember her name but she was on around 1pm. Will definitely be back to try out some other menu items!
The Oven Twist is our favorite local restaurant, it is close to home and off street parking. The Big Breakfast is just that and very tasty. The menu and wine list are extensive and the staff are always very friendly. Highly recommend.
Went with a friend for breakfast.
We ordered smashed avo and big breakfast with extra hash browns. For drinks, a chai latte and iced chocolate. Staff was very friendly and quick to assist. Food tasted delicious.
I decided to have the ‘Tortellini Mushroom - sautéed mushrooms in garlic cream sauce, finished with a truffle oil drizzle ($19.90)’. The alluring smell of truffle oil instantly hit me when my pasta arrived.
Enjoyed a wonderful brunch here today 😁!! I had Eggs Florentine with mushrooms on the side, the best cooked poached eggs, nice & runny 👌 ... The BEST brekky, great value and great service, ladies were sooo friendly and helpful, ty kindly 😉 ... My daughter enjoyed her eggs as well, very much. Highly recommend, will return. Perfect spot to enjoy a meal then enjoy a walk, run over at the parkland directly across the road. PAULA
Breakfast was awesome here. Not the most warm & inviting ambiance, but hopefully that will improve with time (as its new). We tried a Groupon on our way to a festival. The smashed av mixed with feta & herbs on dark rye was SO flavorsome, one of the best I've had - & my partner had the chilli scramble & said it was good. Compliments to the chef!! Where this place falls down is the coffee. They need to use better beans & train their baristas properly, so they are quicker & more confident in what they are doing. The young lady was lovely & helpful - just maybe needed a bit more training.
The waitress was really friendly and accomodating to vegetarian, letting me swap out some things in the big breakfast for more vegetables. the food was delicous, and we didnt have to wait long for our meals :)
Great food and staff are so friendly, second time coming here and will definitely be returning in the future. Breakfast menu looks amazing but here are some photos from tonight's dinner, we also received a complementary bottle of wine for my mums birthday and a free meal. 5 stars!
Great service very thoughtful put high chair in front of tv so we can enjoy our meal. Used groupon ordered big breakfast very large meal. Will come back more!
A local gem! Was empty when we came, but food was pretty good. Had the crumbed prawns for entree, and they were delicious! Crispy outside and the prawn itself was fresh and had the seafood sweetness. Had the parma for main which was a generous meal. The chips were a standout. Crunchy and fluffy and flavoursome.
We've been to this cafe two weeks in a row and can't have enough of the delectable chips. Golden brown on the outside, light and puffy on the inside and tasty throughout, every chip is perfection and consistent to the very last bite.
The mains are generous in size and tasty down to the heavenly chips and deliciously tangy dressing on the salad. We've had the parma, the golden flathead tails, porterhouse steak and chicken Alexandria - all of which are tasty. I ordered the steak medium rare and it came out consistently medium rare. The chicken breast for the parma and alexandria dishes were flavour infused right through and succulent.
Only thing is that it may take a while for food to arrive, but hey, it's definitely worth the wait!
Went here for dinner the other week with my girlfriend. We both agree that the food here was pleasant, although the portion sizing was just a little too large for my liking. The staff were super friendly and the pricing for the dishes themselves was fantastic! You'll be hard pressed to find an Italian-based restaurant cheaper.
I would definitely recommend this restaurant!
Service was lovely, the lady that served us was very polite and cheerful and attended us quickly. The food came out roughly 5-10 minutes after ordering. We had the big breakfast and found that for the most part it was delicious, however the eggs where a bit overdone. Overall would come here again, as the atmosphere plus the service was pretty good.
Great food, good service. Kid friendly.
Lovely restaurant (nice atmosphere)! The food was delicious and the staff were excellent! We had 5 for a birthday lunch and everyone loved what they ordered. The staff were more than happy to put the candles on the cake we brought and bring it out (so special)! At the end they allowed us to split the bill (very accommodating)! Would definitely eat here again!!
Very friendly service, excellent seniors meal and drink offers, good quality and well presented food. The lemon and pepper calamari with salad is particularly good. Comes with a reasonable glass of wine for only $14.00!! Would have to say the ambience is just ok.
Three hungry senior people at 1 pm on a Friday, did not know where to go.
Stopped at The Oven Twist.
We chose the seniors meals which included a glass of house wine. Good value for money ($14 ea) and a good meal to boot.
Staff was good and friendly.
If I had to point out one negative it would be the lack of aucoustic control. There were only about 25 people in the reastaurant and it was so noisy that we could not hear each other talk. I would hate to be there when the place is full.
Owners, please install some noise deadening panels on walls and ceiling and it would be much nicer to come back.
One of the best meals I have had since my stay in Melbourne. My work requires me to travel a lot and I have tried so many cafes and restaurants so far. But believe when I say Oven Twist beats them all by a huge margin! Food, service, interiors all is on point. I have eaten here four times already and cant wait to be back!
I took a group of 24 there for lunch and the staff were fantastic. Some of the group I took changed their orders at the last minute or forgot what they ordered but the staff (Nadia and Robbie) were only to happy to make it work. The Chef, Marco's food was great.
