Sunday brunch, very busy and quite noisy but that us part of the atmosphere. We had poched eggs on sourdough with a side if bacon. Bacon had a lovely hickory flavour although eggs were on the small size there were three- good value. 2nd was the salmon scrambled ,great serve - couldent finish it. Very good coffe- above average and excellent service, especially considering how busy it was.

I come here quiet often with my Dad. The meals are always excellent, reasonably priced and have generous serving sizes (hello, three eggs for breakfast). And the service is friendly.

Friendly staff greet upon arrival. The calamari taste fresh and generous fries. The Rib Eye and Porterhouse were not well cooked (ordered medium rare) and the Parma seems drive. Great coffee.

Food was great. Had the crispy chicken salad 🥗 and detox juice. Price is a bit pricey but seems to be the norm for brunch places. Food was good and overall a good experience.

Update: 18 Nov—Visited today and while we were explaining to the staff that the Nasi Goreng we ordered was spicy his tone was argumentative saying Nasi Goreng is meant to be spicy—but of course this is not an authentic Indonesian restaurant and the expectation was the spice level would have been adjusted (or the menu would have specified that spice level can be adjusted). Menu says topped with chilli and yes there was plenty of chilli toppings. We only wanted acknowledgement as it was a feedback (because this staff came to ask how was the food). We did not want to be lectured as if we haven’t tried such food from somewhere else. Been visiting this place often when I used to live in Berwick few years ago. Place has expanded a bit which can accommodate more outdoor sitting. Went here for dinner with friends recently and things seem to remain almost the same as my visit 2 years ago. The place can be quite crowded due to the close distances between the tables. Food was still great—their pizza and pasta remain awesome.

Not so Main at all really....visited for lunch, floor staff were minuscule and not so great to deal with. Only what I could call the floor manager was well mannered and professional as always. Our order took roughly 35mins for a Calamari Main dish and what they call an open steak sandwich. The open steak sandwich although nice taste made me laugh, it only came with on slice of bread. So at least call it an open half sandwich. The calamari I thought was a joke. Thought they gave me the entree size but was advised was the main. I decided to eat the chips and salad to contrast the amount of calamari I was given. I found this pathetic. Pic below. Not so sure I want to come back after this experience.

Last time we came for a meal here was 18 months ago. All meals were pretty much a disaster and service was shocking that day. Took over half an hour to get the drinks we ordered. Most meals were either over seasoned (lamb shank - the excessive herbs destroyed it) or were bland. Parma was small and dry. Oysters were tiny. Noise levels inside were ridiculously high. Still giving 3 stars only because we did have some good meals there prior to that day but it tended to be hit and miss with quality and service. That was our last visit as there are much better places to eat in the local area.

No table service, was told to use QR code on table, the table didn't have one. Tried to flag down wait staff, was told he was busy and wouldn't help us, walked away and didn't come back. $5 for side of bacon. Bad service, Overpriced food adjusted on the menu by scribbling out old prices with pen and inconsistently pricing everything by hand, (extra egg cost more with some orders then others). Over all a pretty terrible experience and we hadn't even been able to order food. Recommend walking across the road to Pioneer Park cafe, better food, better prices and much better service.

10* for the best restaurant in Berwick! Delicious food and cakes, fantastic service from Nancy and staff. Nancy was so friendly and accommodating! Thank you Nancy for such a wonderful lunch. You're the best! ❤️Definitely recommend this restaurant to everyone!

Dining out on Valentines day. After waiting for nearly an hour and 30 minutes, when we enquired what happened to our food order was told that our order was sent to the wrong table. We were told to place the order again but was told that it will take another 30 minutes for the food to arrive. It was nearly 7:30 in the evening, and we decided to leave. While paying Joe enquired how was everything, to which we said the food never arrived. Joe unapologetic and straight face that it is a busy evening and accepted our payment. Avoid this place if you can!

Absolutely fantastic service, Alex is a king at his job and hosted us to a high degree. Great friendly atmosphere and inviting to all. The food was delicious and well priced for the portions. (Forgot to take a photo of the main course)

My family and I sat in for breakfast this morning and we could not commend the staff here enough. We were greeted by a lovely lady who accommodated us with a pram , provided a high chair and offered to turn down the music . Food and coffee was served quickly and both were hot and delicious. My partner ordered a take away hot Chocolate and he said it was the best hot chocolate he has ever had. Thanks for a great experience!

Friendly stuff and fantastic customer service. My go to place for Sunday brunch with friends. Every time they have delivered delicious food, keep up the great work 🙌🏻

We have enjoyed many meals over the years at The Main however on our latest visit my meal was not enjoyable. The parmigiana was quite overcooked & dry and the 3 chips I ate were extremely hard & over cooked. According to the staff there has been a change of menu which meant there was no side salad included with the meal. Upon enquiring when ordering, I was advised that I could not have vegetables instead of the chips due to the change in menu. I have given 2 stars because my son enjoyed his meal but was also disappointed as the description advised that it came with potatoes & vegetables however the vegetables it referred to were diced carrots in the sauce. We will not rush back!

Delicious food & very filling. Calm and welcoming aesthetic. Staff are friendly and professional.

On first impressions this place was well presented, our waiter was very nice, one other staff member (that brought our the drinks out) was very rude, I went to ask his a question and he just turned around and walked away. Only one out of four items I purchased was tasty and that happened to be the oysters. The open steak sandwich was missing the extra things I paid for and the nasi goreng was one of the worst ones I've ever had and unfortunately I feel my time and money was wasted. I did mention to the waiter that my dish was not to my liking and he was more than accommodating to offer a free coffee or cake ( I declined this offer) and this is way the Cafe is getting two stars instead of one. I can't say I will be back after this experience.

The Main is good value and has a decent vibe. Lamb shanks were top notch, dessert could have been better, you could tell they weren’t fresh. I decent family restaurant. Good value!

For price of a drink at a restaurant this place need to stop serving out of 2 litre bottles. It taste terrible and this isn’t a once of experience. Paying that much money I want to open a fresh can or bottle (not post mix). The desserts are delicious and great variety. Unfortunately meals are hit and miss depending on the day, sometimes lovely, sometimes they miss the mark.

Really disappointed with our meal and coffee today! And also the service wasn't great from some of the staff, abrupt and rude and indifferent. Whats happened to good old fashioned customer service.We have been to the Main on many occasions over the years but unfortunately after today's experience we won't be back.

I have recently visited The Main. My expectations were high as I visited this restaurant but a while ago, and everything was great during the peak hours. This time around noon for lunch and it was not as busy as I had seen before. I have no complaints about food. Pasta and chicken were great. However, I am not very much happy with the customer service. Took a lot of time to come to the table to get an order. The wine glasses that we got had transparent lip stains on it. That's not acceptable from such a high reputation reataurant. Wait for the order to take and receive both were too much. I expect drinks to come quickly if it's just premade drinks. I am happy to wait if I know it's heavily busy, but it was not. Maybe staff has been changed recently. I have seen other tables returning their orders as well. Might be another mistake of taking the wrong orders. I think a restaurant in such a good suburb and busy area should maintain or keep up their reputation. Otherwise, there are a few other options around, and people love to go a little further if they get good service and food.

They cook up a good lasagne and linguine bolognese!!! 🍝👌🏼 Though I ordered the linguine bolognese from the kids menu, the portion size was still big enough to fill me up!

One of the best steak I have ever had! The Black Forrest Cake was also just heavenly. The Main gave us such a homey feeling we felt like as if we were having dinner with a few close friends at home. Thank you Nancy for your service! ☺️

I always enjoy my meals at The Main. They’re always a large size and taste delicious! I think the prices are really good for the amount of food you’re given also. They have a large selection of cakes for dessert too. The staff are always friendly and the manager is always welcoming, the whole place has a great vibe. We have been back multiple times throughout the years and will continue to occasionally dine here!

I enjoyed a lovely dinner on Good Friday... I wondered why all the shops were shut for a moment, then realised what day it was, doh... I ordered the wedges, then feeling hungry thought I'd order the calamari to go with it... I ate the calamari first, it was cooked perfectly, very yummy indeed, then I started on the wedges... I honestly wasn't expecting the wedges to be such a large serve, I struggled to finish them all... However, I was determined to finish the wedges, as they were so nice I didn't want to waste them, so I took my time, ordered a beer and finished the bowl...

The environment is spacious, comfortable and bright, with a wide variety of choices, good taste, and high cost performance. The coffee would be better if it was more fragrant!

Visited recently for dinner and although the food was fresh and tasty, the table and positioning wasn't great. 3 of us were squashed onto a table that should be for 2 and when we had a fisherman's platter (shared) and a pasta dish, there was no room for sharing plates. We were also next to a large, noisy table. The restaurant is separated with most of us being squished into the smaller side. The other side was relatively empty - we wondered why we didn't get into that VIP section! The waiter was a cool guy though and our food was great (big serves). The fish was fresh and well cooked, and the pasta dish was graciously adapted to suit a vegetarian.

Asked for no olives in my pasta but got heaps 🤢 Dessert was nice... cocktail was nice (blonde sangria)... there was a slice of mushroom in my mother in law's pina colada tho?! She said it was okay but surely that's a health and safety issue. Why are mushrooms anywhere near the bar? Not overly happy at the end of the day and I never complain about anything 😞 My husband also said that the lamb shanks were way too salty!! And he is a salt lover, so that's saying something 😕

Great food and service. The Big breakfast is delicious. Great atmosphere and vibe. Been coming here for years. Highly recommend.

The perfect place to catch up with friends. A comprehensive menu, including wood fire pizzas, with options to please even the fussiest palate. Highly recommend the duck spring rolls and the salt and pepper squid. Its also licensed so you can enjoy a lovely glass of wine with lunch... and if you have a sweet tooth their huge selection of cakes and tarts looks amazing

We have been to The Main quite a few times and my family really like the food and the atmosphere, however today when we went there, we were greated by a very rude staff member who happens to be one of the Manager whose behaviour made my whole family feel very uncomfortable. Looking at the mode of my family I left without ordering. It is a shame that due to this unpleasant experience our family has decided not to go there again. We will miss the nice restaurant due to some rude behaviour.

Sat outside. Great service. I had a fresh squeezed juice and a piece of cheesecake shared with my sister (it was huge). Yum

Seemed like the quality might have dropped from when my partner came in the past. Huge portions, great for big eaters. Chicken parma was a little dry though.

Staff were good. Food was average. In looks and presentation. Didn’t take photos as didn’t wish to sway review, as looked ok. Lack of seasoning across the board. Pasta was nice, suppose I make batter. Big Breakfast looked dry. Drinks came out after we have eaten 75% of our meal. Nice location and average Sunday amount of people. Not worth the price, even though not overly priced either. Maybe my expectations are high, but so be it. This is not a 4 star average in my eyes. 3’s would be true.
