Lovely atmosphere and the food was lovely, although quite a small lunch menu. What makes Claude’s is the staff, amazing, welcoming, polite are just some words I would use. Would definitely return.

Fantastic experience at The Lowdown. Thank you to the staff who made it a really fun and entertaining brunch. We didn't catch the name of the guy serving us but he was hilarious and took really good care of me and my friends. The food was delicious - really fresh produce was clearly used as it was so flavourful, and we appreciate you accomodating our request for mimosas which were not on the menu! We will definitely be recommending this place and we will be back!
