This was the second attempt by my wife and I to eat here. 1st time we arrived after a 3 hour drive…read moretoo close to 2 pm and they refused to seat us. Went to Muddy Crab and had excellent tacos that day. (Go there instead for lunch) This time we arrived 5:30pm and were seated promptly. We asked if the fried chicken and calamari were starters or entrees. Waitress told us they certainly were enough for entrees. Not true. Both orders were very skimpy portions. Both were fairly tasteless and were served both with tasteless and insipid sauces, neither very enjoyable. Thought salting would help but didn't. At checkout, waitress asked if we wanted separate checks!! Highly insulting, seeing I already had my money out to pay and were obviously traveling together as a married couple. This place is strange and with the menu being mostly burgers, the prices are laughable. Owner/chef/manager sat at tables with customers the entire time. He needs to be in the kitchen cooking better food. This place needs to retrain the servers and deserves a good menu overhaul. Definitely not worth the price. Won't be back.

We dropped in on a Saturday afternoon (around 1:00pm). The place has its own massive, separate area for seating. The menu is split into breakfast (9:00am to 2:00pm), bagels, crepes, soup, waffles and toasted sandwiches. For drinks, there's tea, coffee, hot drinks, smoothies and cold drinks. They also have high tea! - Flat white ($5.00 NZD medium double shot) - B said it was decent enough. Seems like a typical small town cafe spot.

Cold winter's day July 1 along busy George Street, parking a tad tuff round 530pm, seated in a cozy rear table under a massive heat pump in the cavernous big ol' restaurant/ cafe = we were there for evening meal - a couple and a nine year old. BYO wine policy still in place happily - the feature losing it's popularity with new restauranteurs it seems - we brought a lovely Pinot Noir along for the occasion. Scratch made food on the dinner menu still - slipped a notch from a decade ago - based on yesterday's experience - a 4 rather than previous 5 star - but better than 'ok' duck - missed a couple of our orders - forgot one completely and 'switched' calamari into slightly rubbery prawns - coffees were superb - kiddie meal of chicken n chips was better than ours. Service is spotty - occasional bright stars - but again NOT at the TOP level of year's past - we've been coming here a LONG time. Prices have crept UP whilst quality of 'cheffing' down is a loss of one star on overall rating BUT would return based on the experience, and recommend BARISTA

The decor is very basic and its quite simply a house thats been remodelled into a place for the ravening horde. We went in a large group but the staff were able to handle it well. I (of course, carnivore that I am) ordered the steak, and it was impressive. The meal was delicious, the staff were somewhat attentive and the atmosphere was fun. The prices were a little high to be honest, but everything I saw across the table was of high quality.
