We decided to try it out with some friends for a Sunday brunch and clearly we weren't the only ones with that idea as there was already a small crowd at 10am when we got there. Thankfully our friends were extra punctual and we had a spot on the end of the central communal table. We're used to cafes being echoey and just down right noise sometimes but the layout of the restaurant didn't seem to do any favours for the staff or customers.
Constant 'excuse mes' and bumping into backs of chairs ( I wonder how many bruises the staff have getting around chairs) and it just seemed poor design (Greed) manifested itself and the whole place was designed to cram as many seats in as possible with the central communal table perhaps a bit too large for what it should be.
Menu has not changed and I readied myself for some serious eating. Unfortunately when the meals came out they were shrunk just as much as the level of noise has grown. In a mad rush there remains none of the finesse or attention to detail that was present at the other Flute.
Hubby's muesli desperately cried out for more yoghurt to make it seem less like supermarket cereal.

| Avocado plate |
My avocado plate was about 10% (very uninspired, barely ripe) avocado and the tomato were basically chopped up sour tomatoes with a sprinkle of spice.
Our friends ordered the big breakfast to share and left half of it as it was essentially a cold heap of grease.
The nice big cup of coffee didn't really lift spirits much but hey at least it was something that remained unchanged. Hopefully we just caught this on a bad day--would hate to see a quality go down hill due to over expansion.
