Cornerstone Bar & Food

On Sunday this place dispenses with their regular menu and hosts a «New York Style Brunch». It is this that attracted my attention. Anything NYC is ok with me.
The service is spotty at best, but not unusual for this part of Sydney where the staff are more likely to be part time students who just came off a hard night at the local clubs than full time hospitality folk.
So after some confusion around table numbers and what we did or didn’t order, the food eventually made an appearance.
The Huevous Rancheros looked very good, and I am told was quite good. The French toast was small in serving — but very tasty. It left me room to try the PB&J off the kids menu. Very basic is appearance and taste — but still fun.
The seating area is very spacious and the ambience feels very Sunday brunch. Relaxing and cool. It’s a quiet part of town generally on weekends.
We followed up with the «crack pie» which didn’t crack at all, instead it was a gooey melted version. Still taste nice and the praline ice cream that came with it was very good.
Needs some attention to detail — but I’d come back again.

I suspect we may have come on the wrong day. Although I was highly impressed with the space, the rest of it was nothing to write home about. The menu was not inspiring whatsoever, the service was «meh» at the very most. it just breaks my heart to write this review cause I really wanted to love this place.

I really enjoyed this space. The service was very good, the waiter forgiving our mis-​ordering and being very friendly. Given its in the Eveleigh Carriageworks space, it wasn’t particularly full which we liked as we could actually hear each other talk. A good range of wines, though none of the cocktails appealed. It has a really nice atmosphere and some good configurations for seating, plus a random pool table in front of the bar. I think we’ll be back.
