Table Talk Cafe

You be the Judge! We were 2 women in our 50's whose combined spend for our lunch was $73. In that we ordered 2 Bowls of oyster soup. Both of us found only ONE small less than even soup sized oyster in our soup. The overwhelming flavour was pepper. Both of us left the soup. We spoke to a waitress and said we were disappointed in a pleasant manner. She came back to us and said someone would be out to see us soon.something we hadn't asked for. Next minute a man arrived in an aggressive manner and said what's wrong. When I said we were disappointed each bowl only contained one small oyster each.he replied in an abrupt manner that its luck of the draw and usually you would only get 2 or 3 per bowl. He then said in an angry tone what do you want to do with it Mate! I'm a 59 year old woman, I'm not your mate and I felt threatened by the unprovoked intensity of the manner you spoke to us. We were not seeking our money back.we were just pointing out our disappointment. We have previously eaten here.but how the owner! Spoke to us today we will certainly not be back.

Disgusting manners from older blonde staff member who was extremely rude when I had asked why she had given me a small cup when I had paid for a regular caramel ice late, and had also neglected to add the caramel. When asked about the cup size and adding the caramel I was met with an extremely rude response making me leave in a horrible mood. Will not be back and will not recommend to anyone I know.

None of the staff were wearing masks and they didn't scan my vaccine pass, merely looked at it. The coffee was okay

A colleague and I popped in for lunch yesterday 31st June 2021 we eagerly ordered the $14.50 bowl of fresh Oyster soup. An absolute nonsense, have lived in Southland 30 yrs we we're served the worst Oyster soup in Southland. I'd go further and ask you to re-advertise the dish as roux soup, a fresh bowl of lumpy wet flour!

We ate here yesterday and I had a savory and on eating found a large piece of plastic in my food I started choking then having a coughing fit. I pulled out the plastic gave to the lady. She was shocked and apologized and said she would talk to the boss. I was in quite abit of pain and could feel another piece of plastic was lodged in my throat so very uncomfortable. No one had asked for my details so I wrote them on a piece of paper and gave to lady. I would of thought that I would of been contacted to see how I am but nothing so very disappointed.

We are a group of 5, we ordered a variety of food including fish and chips, burger, butter chicken, and Egg quiche. We rate the food as 2. The servers are horrible, when serving the food, she kinda toss the dish on the table. That shouldn’t be called serving food. Her face looks like we are there to eat free food and she really doesn’t want to served food to us. While we are eating, she just throw a big floor mat on the floor in front of our table that cause the dust. If there is a negative number I’ll used it on the service. I included the picture where she threw the mat on the floor, you can see that the mat is so close to our table.

Ok, maybe we were pushing it a bit expecting to eat at 2pm on a Saturday. The seafood chowder was bland and watery, the nachos meat was also a bit watery, nacho chips were cold, and the merest sprinkle of grated cheese dust on the nachos. A generous dollop of sour cream though.

A great selection of food, but it was very tasteless. The staff weren't overly friendly which is always a shame.

Staff appeared to be racist looking at myself and my partner up and down. Their conversation and smile were false

Went there for Breakfast got the Kiwi Breakfast, The ordering process seemed an inconvenience for the waitress, didn't ask how I wanted the eggs. The service was very quick, friendly (different server to the one that took my order) only a couple of minutes and breakfast was served. The food was pretty good but Sausage was like warm. OJ and Coffee was spot on.

Do not get the roast of the day thinly sliced lamb like out the deli, microwaved an not up to par. Other food looked ok chocolate fudge was nice, I waited 20 minutes after everyone else got there meal place wasn’t packed, left unsatisfied

The food was very good, particularly the date scone! It's a shame when places charge extra for soy, and extra for decaf, when they actually are no more expensive to buy. The coffee was too hot, and not a true cappuccino: (
However, the reason for my review is that there were 7 tables needing to be cleared, whilst we were there. One couple had to clear a table beside they could sit there.
We would still go back for the scone:)

Nice clean Cafe. Extensive menu incl kids menu. Only had a date scone and coffee which were good. Toilets available too

Lovely fresh and tasty food. I noted that customers were taking their time over their food and drinks which indicates a relaxing place to sit and eat

Friendly service, nice selection of sweet and savory items. Great coffee. Artwork for sale very interesting and well displayed.

Really lovely food and nice atmosphere. Friendly staff and good coffee. Will go there now each time I pass through Gore.

Lovely home made food. Can select from self serve shelves or order off menu. Great coffee. Free wifi. Can sit inside or out.

Staff very friendly. They have high chairs for kids. Food very good. Coffee good. Free help yourself water tap on counter.

Waffles are really good and value for money is quite good. Large portions and a wide selection make it a good choice.
