Date: 7.8.11
My friend Laura had been hanging out all week to go here. I started to succumb to the peer group pressure and thought about the many times I’d walked past and thought, yeah, this place looks good. So time to order. He was friendly, but there was no green tea. At a café. We waited forever for the coffee to come out, and it really wasn’t that busy for a Sunday (and my motto, if you’re going to have a lot of tables, have the staff to cater to them). Laura’s came out alone, I waited another few minutes before mine came out, and it was average at best. It wasn’t bad, and had an okay flavour, it just wasn’t special. More friends arrived and we ordered food. Two wanted the menu item where chorizo sausage was the featured item. They didn’t have any chorizo. Seriously? Coles and Woolies are two minutes down the road. The food took ages to come out and then again they didn’t bring out an item, a tea they had to be reminded of. Sure the food was nice, but wow they knew how to charge. And what for? Sloppy service and a menu that doesn’t have a number of items in stock. Disappointing in so many ways.
AMBIENCE: This is the one thing this place has. Just like in real estate, it has location, location, location. A great outdoor area that’s comfortable and an attractive interior. 3.5 out of 5.
SERVICE: They may be friendly, but they don’t actually seem to know what they’re doing. Missing ingredients and drinks not delivered together. I keep thinking what Gordon Ramsay would say about not taking things out at the same time (maybe I’ve just been watching too much Hell’s Kitchen). 1.5 out of 5.
COFFEE: In one word, okay. I enjoyed, but then I did wait long enough. Had some nice flavour but just wasn’t bold or rich enough. 3 out of 5.
