Lazy schnitzel plates came out very reasonably timed and hot foods were hot but the wrap didn't arrive for another 10 minutes at least. Schnitzel was ok, sauce was meh. Salad actually had the most flavor of the plate. Edible but I won't be revisiting.

I have to say that the schnitzels are pretty big. In fact the servings are pretty big all around. In fact, my order came out with two schnitzels, which I have to say was pretty impressive. Actually, it is more than that because this place turned out to be pretty good. Mind you, it is pricey, but that is probably because the servings are quite large as well. Fortunately they to have doggie bags so that you can take your uneaten portions home, which I do quite appreciate.

I've been wanting to check this place out since Ive first noticed it. The outside appearance looks…read moreso enticing with the picture of the menu and the cheap 10 to 15 aud meals. What makes it more inviting is the crowd of people entering the place. They must be doing something right to make it that popular. We ordered seafood platter, spaghetti bolognese and iced chocolate drink. The iced chocolate was served to us immediately. It looks so fancy and the taste is actually yummy. A good first impression. While waiting, I get to observed the place more closely. It's a minimalistic themed place and despite being crowded, they get to maintain the cleanliness of the place. So we've waited and waited. It's been 10 minutes and still no food on the table. Me and hubby considered the busy-ness of the place. I just thought, might as well wait and have good quality food instead of a fast but cheapo finish. Our iced chocolate was starting to melt and that's when I began counting the time. Approximately 15 to 20 minutes passed before food arrived (Iced chocolate no more lol lol). But we had plenty of time so it was alright. Mind you, the presentation was impressive with the seafood platter. The spaghetti bolognese looks simply appetizing too. Unfortunately, the taste wasnt at par to the look. My hubby was really disappointed with the food. You see he loves his spaghetti, and this one frustrated him soooo much. LOL He finds it bland and taste like minced meat caserrole or something. He just can't taste the sphagetti-ness of its sauce. I tried it and it was ok but it reminds me more of a Villie's meat pie filling than spaghetti. Also, the sauce is not your creamy pasta but a watery one. The seafood platter is not bad though but not outstanding either. The ingredients are just the usual fish n chips taste--- not oily but bland. The garlic prawn is ok. I like the pepper squid-- just the right saltiness to it. I like the mayo dip and the salad. Like i said, it's ok but not something I would crave for the second time. If I'll summarize our experience here. It's not too bad compared to the usual fastfood. They have big servings but food is more visually appealing than its taste. If we'll come back, I would probably try their steak. But hubby was pissed with their spaghetti (lol) so it wont happen anytime soon.

But in Elizabeth, it is a welcome change from food court rubbish, or the culinary suicide of McDonalds and KFC. The decor is modern and pleasant, the tables and floor are clean. The food is average, but not bad. Same with the coffee and tea. Nothing bad to say, but nothing pops out as showing exceptional flair to catch a foodies eye or palate. It relies on "all you can eat" promotions to fill the restaurant on slow nights, and for Sunday breakfasts. As already stated, a product of its environment. It does have the advantage of being surrounded by sub-par chain food outlets, and an American pub opposite with a reputation for awful food. Compared to these options, Cafe Acqua does well. An example of the standards is a coffee a friend ordered, the ceramic mug sported a deep chip right where you place your mouth (steel teeth are all the rage in the north it seems....) There is no way the barista could not have seen it when making the beverage, and when I returned it to the bar, rather than make a replacement, the coffee was poured into a replacement cup and handed back. I doubt the mug was thrown out... So, if in the Elizabeth City Centre, you certainly can do worse. Just don't expect much, and you'll be happy.

Do I agree???? Well I will start by saying that I really enjoyed my stay and the dinner was lovely. Was it OMG you have to go here worthy.... well that is up for debate. At approx $200 per head you would expect amazing and 3 of the 5 dishes were close but the final 2 stopped at good. I couldn't complain about anything, it was moody (in a good way), the staff were professional, there was enough food and it was good - probably great, but not amazing. The wine bar was bizarre, it was a strage pokey little room of to the side of the restaurant with unsightly stripped paint on the walls. It felt somewhat like a candy store. I do believe that the deck is the place to go for a pre dinner drink but it was cold and dark when we arrived so I didn't get to experience it. I loved Appelation and would consider going back, but it didn't impress me quite the way Southern Ocean Lodge did and they are both part of the same "Luxury Lodges of Australia Group" perhaps I was spoilt on Kangaroo Island and I have set the bar too high. I am potentially being over critical but when you spend approx $1000 per night I think it's allowed. A great place for dinner, slightly over priced, but still worthy of a visit. P.S. The accommodation is outstanding, the outdoor shower made my day :)

We didnt have s booking so they sat us on a random table in the walkway with none of the table settings or cutlery etc, later they moved us to a nicer table. The staff were lovely and friendly (one of the reasons they get two stars) I was a bit disappointed that of the two soups of the day neither were vegetarian. So I opted for the one vegetarian main meal of lentil patty. Hubby of course had the chicken schnitzel. Now, we could not talk to each other and the baby was going nuts because it was just so loud in there. When our food did come my blood pressure was so high from all the noise I gulped it down! We were forgotten about and given no bread with our meals which was a real dampener and hubby's schnitzel came with a free hair. Good points - Friendly staff Food was worth what you pay Bad points - No bread NOISE!!!! Hair in food Terrible car park Vegetarian options limited ESP if gluten free. Had we been able to relax and enjoy the meal it probably wasn't so bad as it was I barely tasted it because I had to take the baby out of there.
