    We thoroughly enjoyed our breakfast visit to Double Barrel at Benowa. We had an excellent waitress, who was attentive to our needs and our food certainly showed that she had carefully recorded special requests. The food was well presented and delicious. Serving sizes were good. Concerns: The cash register is now at the entry point. We had to wait considerable time-despite having a reservation, as a group at the register couldn't make up their mind about their order and no-one could progress until the order was sorted. The same issue happened on the way out when two ladies couldn't decide on the drinks they wanted. Once we were inside we had no menus. The staff member on the register still had a queue to manage. We sat there till we saw the menus outside on the pole. The system seemed to flow better when the register was indoors. Parking is always an issue. It is normally impossible to park in the area where one should park. Illegal pool parking is the only issue.
