La Zona Bar & Grill

Great place food coffee service and deserts

Lovely lunch there on Monday for my birthday. Great food and great service.My first visit. Would definitely visit again.

I loved this place when I lived here. The menu is so simple and that is where the advantage is. No fancy names you can't pronounce, just wholesome good tucker.

Food good. Service ok.
Only average really.

Breakfast was delicious. Good coffee. Lovely staff.

I've been going to LaZona cafe since it first opened with Irene, the owner, running it.
It has always been my go-to Gymea cafe due to the great service, friendly staff, excellent prices , fantastic $14 lunch specials (which began at $12) and generous servings.

However, Irene has now left and the new owner Craig has not only changed the name recently to LaZona Grill and Bar, but has also hiked up the prices way too high and diminished the serving size.
For example - the quinoa,chicken and pumpkin was $14 with loads of chicken and pumpkin is now less than half the original size but has price increased to $17 WITHOUT chicken and a whopping $21 with chicken. And it's less than half the original $14 serving. That's a HUGE price increase of $7! Way too pricey when you're getting almost an entree serving!

Mothers Day menu was very limited and because we arrived before 11 but didn't order until just after 11, we weren't permitted to order off the breakfast menu- very disappointing and felt like a money grab re menu's limited choice , as all prices started at $17! So opposite to the options offered when Irene was the owner.

The positives are the long-standing staff who are friendly, professional and give 5 star service.

All of my friends and family who I have brought to LaZona over the years are not wanting to dine here any longer as we no longer have the lunch special menu of $14 with great selection of hearty meals and can no longer have a cheaper dining experience for a casual weekday lunch.

I don't want to stop dining here as I love the staff and feel loyal to them, but the huge price increases is not sitting well for me or my friends and family.

My advice is to bring down your prices BIG-TIME if you want to keep loyal, return customers such as myself or you'll be losing a huge proportion of the Gymea locals.

Friendly service, great meals

It's ok, nothing out of the ordinary though. Have been overcharged on multiple occasions (the breakfast special and full-priced breakfast are named identical and usually charged for the more expensive of the two.

Great for lunch with big meals.

My family often meet here for a meal. Food is always delicious, staff friendly and food always served with a smile. Very impressed with the whole set up of lazonas.
