Found this gem unexpectedly. Best food and service. We were on the way to a farm and stopped for lunch. 5 of us ordered 5 different meals and all were just exquisite. Marinara, Prawns Linguini, Fish and chips, Risotto, Gnocchi. Fresh and perfect balance of flavours, so we have to wait. Wonderful smoothies and beer on tap.

I had the most wonderful experience at Ezra’s this morning! The food was absolutely delicious—fresh, flavorful, and beautifully presented. The atmosphere was warm and welcoming, making it the perfect spot to start the day. What truly set this visit apart was the exceptional service. Ava, our waitress, was fantastic! She was friendly, attentive, and had a way of making everyone feel special. Her recommendations were spot on, and she went above and beyond to ensure we had everything we needed. I can’t recommend Ezra’s enough, and I’ll definitely be back—hopefully with Ava taking care of us again!

I haven’t been here for some time as on every occasion the service has been terrible. However, I thought I would give it another go as I’m local and like to support local. The service was excellent and so was the food. Everything came in a reasonable amount of time. Husband loved his steak baguette and chips ($30)and here is a picture of the grazing board I ordered ($28). Very good quality products and so much. It’s definitely a sharing board. I couldn’t really even make a dent ! The only negative was the cured meat . It was very chewy and I couldn’t actually swallow it.

This place is consistently good, time and again. High quality ingredients, reasonable prices (especially so, considering the quality), great wait staff, all in a comfortable environment - If you need to know your food and service will be on point, this is where to go.

Breakfast time at Ezra Next Door and, staying in my comfort zone, I decided on lactose-free cappuccino, fruit toast and granola. Luckily, the venue experts rattled my cage a bit with their take on things. Many thanks!

The portions here are really generous! And the food is absolutely delicious. I love anything with mushrooms, and every one of the four dishes I ordered was fantastic. Plus, the ice cream is perfect for kids. The coffee, drinks, and juices are all great too. Overall, it's affordable, filling, and totally worth it!
