Flat white with Almond milk was great and the milk wasn't sweetened. Omelette amazing. We will definitely be back
Good lunch time spot, right by the river. Lovely food.
Great meal, Great service. Went back for breakfast the next morning.
Friendly welcome. Nice selection for lunch. Took my daughter from Hamilton for tea last week. She loved it. We enjoyed lunch today and we will keep coming
Not so excited flavour at all. The place is nice. Service is just the normal rude I don't care if you not get what you want. Ordered banana smoothies. Double check if its real smoothy with real banana in it. She answered of course with rolled eyes. Came and tasted differently. When asked she explained it has apple and pineapple in it. Went to pay and thought to let them know again to at least tell the customer the truth that it has come from simply squeezed bottle before we order not when we pay.
My recent experiences here have been hit and miss. The wait staff are always excellent, the views are great, but often the kitchen lets this place down. For example I recently ordered gluten free French toast, which mostly ok, except that they used a gf bread with seeds and grains. If they had taste tested this themselves they would known this was a bad idea. Other people at my table complained that their portions were smaller than usual. It is pleasing that the wait staff handed the complaints well I am aware that there have been a high level of quality issues. I think that management should focus on ensuring that the kitchen always delivers to the high standards that are expected from a establishment like this. The head chef needs to taste test the GF dishes!
One of my favourite cafes in Blenheim. Great position above the Taylor river. Great venue (the alcove down the back is great for meetings with a few people).
Great food and coffee! French toast and burgers are awesome! Very friendly and attentive staff.
I just love the location of this great restaurant. Great to have a flat white outside over looking the river
Bland food, slow service, and frustration are the word that come to mind. The risotto was undercooked and inedible, the chicken had a few odd flavors going on and as we ate it we realized it wasn't completely cooked through. The only decent thing we had was the fish of the day. We couldn't find the staff to get our drinks refilled and when we did they brought us the wrong things which we drank because we didn't care anymore. So that's the takeaway, if you don't want properly cooked food, enjoy being ignored, and have have given up on life this might be just the place for you.
Service was bad, flat out. A table that was seated after us got their drinks, and ordered food before we even were even asked what we wanted to drink. The risotto was undercooked and chewy, the chicken was dry and overcooked, the fish of the day was very fishy. The only good meal our party got was the salmon, but the salad they received as a side was gross and not fresh. I will say the pate and the bread (both entrees) were very delicious but between the rest of the food and the service I would not recommend this place.
This was a nice enough place. Staff were happy and kind. Poached egg was over done but in general food was nice.
This place was elegant, and had a great outdoor dining area overlooking the river. (as well as good internal dining with a huge fireplace.) Pretty good food, and service.
Interestingly, the toilets were up 2 flights of narrow stairs!
