Blackwood Cronulla

Blackwood Cronulla was a ripper lunch spot. We went on a sunny day so it was packed, but the vibe was awesome and the staff were genuinely friendly and on top of it. We shared the Grilled WA Octopus with crispy chermoula potatoes, romesco, wild leaves, grape and smoked almonds the octopus was super tender and the sauces were unreal. The rosemary truffle chips were fresh, perfectly seasoned, and the truffle mayo was chef’s kiss. My partner had the scrambled eggs (3 eggs) with grilled Moroccan chicken and she loved it plus they were definitely not skimpy on the avocado. Total was $97 including the 10% surcharge. Would happily come back and recommend it if you’re in Cronulla.

Highly recommend coming to Blackwood! We got the salmon poke bowl and the corn fitters (pictured) and they were both so delicious, healthy and fresh! Also got the strawberry matcha. The kitchen was closing and they kindly put our order in just before close which was amazing! Thank you! 🙏🏼

Dined in today for lunch, good menu, kits to choose from with an extensive drinks list. Very busy but got a table for 4 without booking. We had Morning Glory, Salmon Poke bowl, fries, banana bread, & side of chicken for food. Very nice, well presented just was a long wait from ordering to food, 50 mins in total. Drinks we had long black, Banana & biscoff milkshake, a kids strawberry milkshake & long black & thirst thrive drink. $157 in total, which is pricey but seems to be the average for food now.

Blackwood is always a 10/10! We’ve been to both branches and the food always slaps. Everything on the menu has been a hit but stand outs are the burrata pasta, grilled octopus, corn fritters and their special barramundi. Drinks are average.

Incredibly brunch spot. Had the cold brew and morning glory and it was excellent, would certainly go back. Home made hash browns were great. Probably my favourite spot in Cronulla.

The chef was digging his nose while cooking. I used to go to here couple of years ago. It was quite good. But my experience was completely different this time. Has there been a change of ownership? The rudeness and terrible service made me don’t even want to spend one more second there. The staff would rather stand together chatting than giving you any attention. Food just never arrives. Of course, the chef was busy with his 👃 Wonder what would the food authority say?

The food was quite good, but the service really needs improvement in communication and basic hospitality. The staff seemed disengaged and avoiding eye contact when we were waiting to be seated and not checking in at all during the meal. We had to ask multiple times just to place our order, and later had to go up to request the bill ourselves. It seemed as just our table was being ignored (I wonder why…) The waitresses appeared unhappy and unmotivated, which made the overall atmosphere uncomfortable and flat. Perhaps because their place of work isn’t opposite the beach and it’s just opposite a Woolworths metro loading dock?! Won’t go here again perhaps will try the Bondi location next time.
