Gallery Cafe

VERY DISAPPOINTED AND LET DOWN. My first experience at Gallery One today to take my heavily pregnant friend and her 2 year old for high tea. We placed order and waited over 1/2 hour with no response, when we asked where our drinks were we were told it takes 20 minutes to get the high tea ready. The couple on the next table who had come after us but also were waiting and asked about their order of lunch. It appears the staff forgot to place our orders. The staff had gone on break. They asked if they would get priority in the kitchen if they reordered their lunch and that was met with a non committed response. Needing something we reordered our coffees. I asked to see the management staff and explained the situation, they have nothing to say but sorry, no offer of a swift order or discount. The staff got our coffees in about 10 minutes, and we left not long after (all up the experience was an hour) having to pay full price for our coffees. APPALLING AND DISAPPOINTING !!!

I thoroughly enjoyed dining at this cafe, it is a beautiful cafe, with very comfortable seats, the coffee is great and the food delicious. The staff are very friendly and efficient. I will be going back to this cafe at every opportunity.

We joked and described the Poached eggs as shell less hard boiled, toast was very dry with a touch of butter. So 2 eggs (not done right) and 1 piece of toast (also terrible) $9.50.

Sausage on the big breakfast, I would describe as BBQ'd yesterday and reheated this morning. Overall the big breakfast made me feel sick.



A definite "leave this one alone" destination for food.

You know the sort of place that you go to when you're out and you don't have a good experience and you go 'must remember not to come back here'?

... and then next time you go out, you go there again cause you forgot or you thought give 'em another go ... and it's hopeless again and you go 'must REALLY remember not to come back here!'

.... and then the next time you go out and you've forgotten and you go there again and after waiting 15 odd mins for your luke warm coffee and then lunch turns up say 30 odd mins later and then if the smell of THAT melted cheese hasn't turned your stomach, the first bite lunch soon has you going 'Geeeee zuz it's THAT place!!' and you labor through your 'lunch' and consider the 40/50/60 dollars that you've paid as a self inflicted fine so you don't forget next time.



Yes folks, it's that bad.

Toast was cold and hard on big breakfast. Poached egg tasted of vinegar. So to did eggs benedict and sauce was very runny and not cooked properly. Table service bad. Meals all came at different times and staff looked down to ground and just dumped food on table. Got a refund but even manager was a pain.
