Hangout on 20 Preston - Como

Five of us went to Hang Out on a hot summer night, booking in advance. The restaurant was fully open to Preston Street around which a number of tables were occupied, but oddly we were shown to a table in the far corner at the back. Within a few moments of sitting we were asked for proof of vaccinations, and then offered menus and water. Surprisingly my water was luke warm. When I questioned this, I was told it was tap water. But surely no-one offers customers warm tap water in summer heat! Almost every coffee shop and cafe in this town provides cold water, often in a fridge to help yourself. As we sat and sweltered, one of our party checked out the tables at the front and found one empty that was not reserved. We then moved and at least had the benefit of a fan above us. Most of the food, in a very eclectic menu, was okay, apart from the chips served with a couple of dishes. Very, very salty, and spoiled the meal. There is no way, we will be returning any time soon.

A coffee shop that's open after 3pm, yes I like that! I realise it has a bar as well which sets it apart from the average coffee shop. The service was fast and freindly and the coffee hot. Gets my vote and definitely will be back, keep up the good work.

Top end price for bottom end service. Got a meal i did not order. Got brown avo! Paid 20% more than anywhere else.

Just as well we were kindly given a Groupon voucher for lunch because I would have hated to have to pay for what we 're got. We found it to be quite chique another name for pokey and cramped. We were also given a complimentary half dozen small flies which harassed us during the whole meal and was pretty unpleasant. My drink arrived half way through our meal I 've never had this happen at any eating establishment, they couldn 't fill my wife 's drink order because they 'd run out of the mixer required so she had to order a substitute. The table next to us waited patiently to be served and after finally being attended to said how 3 other tables (including us) were served before them. They got up and left without ordering (a good move). This was all topped off by our meals. Unfortunately we both ordered the chicken which was very, very dry and over cooked. Really unpleasant. I see quite a few good reviews here so maybe we but a bad day. But if you 're paying good money you don 't want to then have a bad day do you? I kid you not this is what I heard from the waitress to 3 tables (including us) while we were there I 'm so sorry guys..... Pretty much sums up our experience at the Hang Out

Great food and service waitress was efficient and helpful Very well priced for what we had Highly recommend a visit
