| 16-07-2005 : Paul Ballardin : Well, as much as I'd love to say the food is as fantastic as the view, unfortunately, it is very inconsistent.
Breakfasts are very popular, however, for some reason they sometimes find it difficult...[more] |

| 03-10-2005 : michaelc : I have also experienced the food at the Wild Fig. With such a fantastic view I too was expecting something special. My experience with breakfast on two occassions has lead me to avoid the place for breakfast.
The first encounter with the big breakfast saw it arrive at the table with dried up cold bacon that was cooked I am sure hours earlier and the two fried eggs stuck together, leathery and hard.
The second encounter the bacon came the same, but at least the egs were still soft.
I will give them this though, they make the best hot chocolate around. :: [original context] |
| 20-06-2005 : Libby : A group of four of us went to the Wild Fig last Friday night. We didn't have a booking so I suppose we were lucky to get a table on a Friday. It was 8.15pm and the waitress was incredibly rude when we arrived and told us she’d have to check when the kitchen was closing. I think it was more her attitude than anything she particularly said, she made us feel unwelcome. I have honestly never experienced service as bad as hers. The food was actually very nice (beetroot cured salmon and veal rib eyes’ were ordered) when it arrived and the atmosphere is good (with live music on Friday nights) but I won’t return in case I encounter that waitress again. :: [original context] |
| 17-11-2004 : El : I have been to NV a couple of times and it's a great cafe, but the last time I went wasn't so special. A couple of friends and I went for a coffee in the evening, and although the hot drinks were lovely, the service was average. I presume it was a manager (or someone that wanted to be the manager) who served us- she was abrupt and cranky, and hardly made eye contact. People who are in this position should not dare lower their service like this lady did. Very unproffessional and unwelcoming. If you don't like the work- find another job. You have to have a certain personality to work in this industry- and i dont care if your a 15, 25 or 40 years of age- and if you own the cafe itself- all staff should ensure their customer service is 110% every time. :: [original context] |
| 17-09-2004 : maurice : We had been to The Wild Fig for a wedding reception on a 40deg day - wow! Food was great, service impecable (the head waitress made sure everyone on her staff was organised and we all received our meals in timely order), and the view teriffic. The only gripe is the uncomfortable chairs.
Had breakfast with a party of three prior to that and food/service/price passed our test too.
Recently (Aug 2004) I had a birthday dinner their which was amazingly different in terms of atmosphere (and the weather!). Nonetheless, service was great - very attentive and down-to-earth. Have I mentioned the food - just fabulous. The chef knows what he's doing and we couldn't fault it. The chicken with mango was changed to chicken with pepper sauce and no questions were asked. Special fish of the day was cooked just right. Side of veges cooked to crispy perfection and chai & dessert ended a lovely night.
Again, the uncomfortable wooden chairs need something - maybe we'll bring a cushion next time.
Would we go back - for sure. :: [original context] |
