Terrible service and owner. My husband and I waited close to an hour for our breakfast and all…read moresurrounding tables of people who had arrived after us received their orders. When I asked about our meal, the unfriendly person who took our order said "all orders are served in sequence." After another 15 minutes went by I asked again what happened to our order and was told the same. I then requested that the order be cancelled and the charge returned to the credit card. The owner refused to return it to the credit card and gave me cash but made sure he deducted the cost for the two coffees, that were brought to us 30 minutes after being seated. If the owner had said we are slammed and apologized it wouldn't have been a big deal but to have unfriendly staff, automatically disregard question, and refuse credit card return, it seemed like things are going downhill.

This is a lovely cafe, set apart from the stream of eateries in the Main Street - which makes it…read morequieter and more peaceful. It has a good range of food from breakfast through to dinner and the quality is very nice - fresh, colourful and tasty. My companions and I enjoyed burgers, chips and a large garden salad in this visit. This was my first but my friends have been before and enjoyed many other options. There's frittata and quiche in the cabinet, with baked goods, sandwiches, salads and all sorts of things. Coffee is a little weak for my taste, but that's obviously personal preference. The setting is hard to beat, with a great outdoor patio that would have a beautiful view of the surrounding mountains in summer or winter. I'll be back, thank you.

Absolutely the most dreadful dining experience during our stay so far on the South Island . Upon…read moredelivering our meals the host was so pleased with the presentation she thought we might want to take a photo before eating which we politely declined. As far as the food I can only say don't bother the lamb rump was ordered & corrected twice with the waitress to be cooked medium well it literally was not even cooked barely raw. They offered to cook to medium well but was told it would take longer which we said yes. As for my partners mystery fish of the day (we were never told species) a complete disaster under cooked & clearly not fresh as advertised with a combination of sauces which even individually were of poor quality let alone combined. It gets better while waiting for my lamb my partner waited for my dish to arrive but we decided instead to start eating OMG . During this time I observed my lamb going into the microwave at this point we decided enough of this nonsense & asked for our bill for our drinks & to forget about dinner they actually waffled at first about paying for our dinner. They were actually asking us what was wrong with their food in detail how about everything they really could use chefs Gordon Ramsey or Bob Irvine from kitchen nightmares or restaurant impossible to solve their issues. Hanmer Springs locals recommend the place but warned of new owners. As it was later by then out of desperation we had pizza down the street @ Irish bar as most everywhere was closed.

Came here for dinner with my wife and we were definitely not disappointed. It's a nice little fancy…read moreplace with a fairly simple menu and a friendly staff. I ordered the angus beef steak and it was very delicious (one of the best I've tried). If you're in a mood for a good steak, I'd order this. I don't drink alcohol but there's a wide variety of alcoholic drinks including wine. I ordered the lemonade raspberry and it was good. The portion size they serve here calls for a dessert afterwards and we got the rich double chocolate fondant. We strongly recommend it if you like the mixture of a nice cold ice cream with steaming hot fudge fresh out of the oven. We loved it.
