The Locale New Lambton

Staff are really friendly, efficient, and attentive.Environment / ambience is a great match to the menu and community.Food is well prepared and very nice. Prices make you expect a better than average meal.Presentation can be a mis-match with some menu items presented in a bowl: How do I butter / spread jams etc on a crumbling slice of toast inside a bowl? How do senior clients or children cope with using knives and forks inside a bowl: they don't.

I'm the type of person who enjoys going out for breakfast food on the weekend, so I always Google places before going to make sure they do 'all day breakfast' so I'm not disappointed on arrival if they don't. The Locales website listed a very enticing looking menu, and at the top of the page of the 'breakfast menu' in bold specifies 'served all day'... mhmmm arrive and when asked to order food, am told breakfast menu finished at 11:00.... it's 11:45 so now I can't order what I was hoping for. Even showed the girl their website shows all day,... still couldn't order off the breakfast menu. Lunch menu offers a couple of breakfast menu items but not the ones I was interested in. Very disappointing, that'll do me. If I ever come back, I'll have to make sure it's 'before 11:00'.

Great look when you enter "The Locale". Staff are attentive and professional. They have nailed the ambiance. The food is fantastic and well priced. I now realise why my son loves this place

Lovely place to catch up with friends and family. Waiting staff are super friendly and obliging always prompt to attend to customers. The food is great and the beverages are top shelf. You must go!!

Service was very good and despite being almost full, the food came at a reasonable time. Food was very delicious, though I would have like a bit of a bigger serve.
