It was probably the best pizza we've ever had. It was perfectly cooked and had a fantastic flavor with interesting spices and the caramelized pears pushed it over the top. The woman who took our order was very friendly and accommodating, which we had not experienced in several places we've been to, so it was a welcome change. I would happily eat here again.

It would have been a 5 star had they not forgotten about our order, hence the unnecessary wait! Let…read moreme break it down- lamb chops were excellent, bbq ribs great, chicken pizza yummy, steak was so so since it was not cooked as specified (we asked for medium rare, came out as well done). Our pepperoni pizza was good also, no one can mess that up, even with the wait time. Our server was attentive, he took good care of us. Our orders came after 40 minutes, can't complain about that since it was a busy night. Overall, we were happy with everything except for the extra wait time because they forgot to make our pizza. Ambiance was cozy- it was family friendly. We will definitely go back when we visit New Zealand again.

Entrees were average the dips for bread werent nice, bread was hard and cold and seafood chowder had more veges in it than seafood and tasted like pepper. The dessert was also average, Brownies were cold and the bannoffee pizza slice I had didnt have any banana on it. The kids pasta meal was loaded with mushrooms and was meant to be a carbonara, but it resembled the adults mushroom fettucine, I dont know a single child that likes mushrooms. The only reason for the stars is that the main adult meals were good.

I will say I was happy with the wine menu, lots of interesting choices, I ended up picking the Ned Rose- always consistently good, given this has more a hipster small batch beer brew kinda place. The kids menu was good value at 13.50, (burger chips, drink and desert) and had different offerings on it, I could of done with the salt n pepper squid, but the kids choose the chicken burger. What I found weird the burger had no vegs: just a bun and chicken strips that were deemed "too spicy" and therefore not eaten. Sigh. I had the 1/2kg of ribs and swapped the corn for some broccoli, again the ratio of vegs to meet was way off (would of been happy with a 1/4kg rib option).The ribs themselves were dry and the bbq sauce was yum but just an average sauce you get everywhere. On the menu was maple butter but don't think it was served, maybe it was on the corn??? Anywho the new brickworks area is lovley, designed to make the most of the summer sun, but simular to silva park im not sure how much use it will get in the winter.

They were calm, friendly, and made our drinks and heated our food quickly. I ordered one of their Japanese teas, which was really good. I also got their butter chicken pie. One of the couples in my group told me about them and O Cafe is the first time I saw it available. The ladies knew time was of the essence and asked if we wanted our pies heated in the oven or microwave. I appreciated that because of the tight schedule we're on. As for the pie - wow! It was my first butter chicken pie and I'll never forget it. The crust was flaky and the chicken was moist. The butter sauce was yummy. This pie was my gateway pie lol. I knew I had to get butter chicken pie wherever I saw it. I'm addicted and I plan to learn the recipe so I can make it at home. The cafe has plenty of tables and seats. It's a casual, welcoming vibe where you can get good food and coffee.
