Over Bored Cafe - Hillarys

Been here a few times for breaky. Food and coffee is good. I love the look of the restaurant and you get a nice view of the harbour and boats. Never had a problem with the food and staff has been always friendly. A bit pricey but around the same price range as other places on hillarys. I think it's worth it given the location tho :)

The atmosphere was very welcoming and intriguing with quotes painted around the ceiling. The cutlets were cooked to perfection which were complimented by a mint dressing along with a salad and a bed of crispy sweet potato wedges. Has a beautiful view looking out to the boats.

Had lunch on Anzac Day afternoon, being the first time in this restaurant. Thoroughly enjoyed it. The service, atmosphere and view were great. Orders were taken with a smile and delivered in a timely manner and the prices were reasonable. The owner even stopped and had a chat when we were on our way out after an enjoyable afternoon. Definitely will be back.

Appalling service by the wait staff at this cafe. No greeting by any of the workers, the worst being the waiter guy with the black bandanna head tie. We sat in the booth seating overlooking the jetty waters next to the front counter and this waiter who stood 1-2m away pretended not to see us, greet us etc and kept standing there by the bench absent-mindedly rearranging the glass cups and shuffling on his feet just next to our table . Meanwhile the other waitstaff are paired in twos talking amongst themselves and not doing actual serving work or cleaning. When it came to ordering food, we were lined up behind another customer who ordered the breakfast menu past 11:30am, but then when it came to our turn in line the waitstaff behind the register stopped us from ordering any breakfast or lunch food because they said there wld be 20min where there's no food ordering permitted before lunch even though the ppl in front of us just got their order done 30sec before us. Anyway we proceed to order just coffee drinks before lunch menu starts. Later we see that the chef in the kitchen is just standing around chit chatting to the waitstaff and not even in the kitchen getting ready for lunch cooking - no wonder they didn't want any orders for the specified time just so the staff can stand around talking. Then the coffees takes 20min to make even though there's not really any other orders to get thru. At this point we have to endure the wait as we've already paid for the drinks. However we don't line back up to order any food after that and decide enough was enough and leave after finishing the drinks. It was time to take our patronage and $$ elsewhere. Plenty of other eateries here that you shouldn't have to endure the bad service at this place. Management should really get someone senior on the floor to work esp on weekends and esp to make sure the staff work and do their jobs.
