Cable Top Eatery

Worst service I've ever received in Wellington. Just went in to order an ice coffee and juice. Lady at the counter was visibly annoyed and deferred any questions to the menus on the walls (which wasn't what I was asking for). Suddenly walked off half way through the order for somebody else to take over. We sat outside to have our drinks as the inside is chaotic and hot. We clearly have a baby in a pram with us, but their staff comes and lights a cigarette next to us. Zero consideration or care for customers.

Waited for 30min with a hungry 2 year old in a half body cast for them to take another 10minutes to give us our money back because they didn't process our order

Poor service, my order didn’t arrive despite asking/requesting twice and waiting for 1 hour hence had to leave the restaurant however the same waitress had the audacity to charge me for incomplete orders. Upon approaching she left however the incharge was apologetic and refunded my money

Disappointed to find this place choosing to discriminate even when all we wanted was a takeaway coffee.

Very disappointed, shown to a table (which we had to ask to be cleaned) and given menus. Sat for over 10 minutes while tables around us were served, staff ignored us. Finally walked out and again not acknowledged by staff. A real fail with service today

Worst excuse for a salad I've ever encountered. Pile of spinach, 3 slices of red onion and a few pieces of tomato and pumpkin. The feta was barely visible. For around $20 this was a joke.

We only had coffee! I couldn't find anything to eat, the choices were very limited.
But the coffee was great.

Cafe closes early and misleads you by keeping doors open and have theirs music playing. Very disappointing

I was asking about food choices as there was no menu. Asked about the pie and whether it or not it came with something - chap behind counter very gruffly replied that it came with a plate. Ordered hot drinks and they never came - staff were chatting behind counter and chap was on the phone placing a delivery order. Eventually got drinks having already finished our food- will not be going back there. Staff didn't acknowledge us as we left. Verdict - rude, unprofessional and incompetent

Staff forgot my food, even after multiple reminders. Had to go up to the counter to find my now lukewarm wrap sitting on the counter.

Staff were too busy clearing tables outside, cleaning the coffee machine and emptying the dishwasher.

The wrap was almost tasteless, but at least it didn't kill me.

Fish wasn’t cooked, could see the batter still coming out! Told the waitress who didn’t apologise just took the plate. Also ordered a banana milkshake. It came out in two cups I gave one to my son and got confused with the other which I didn’t drink incase I’d be charged for another. Went to pay for the meal and was told that we asked for the milkshake to be split. Definitely not. Another waitress found out it was for another customer. So we ended up leaving the 2nd cup of milkshake that was paid for.

Very poor service and expensive. We ordered 3 items, they forgot to serve one dish and got the other wrong.

If you feel like taking your tongue a trip to the Sahara then grab the eggs on toast here! Only a little cheaper than a Flight center deal. To really allow you to experience the feeling of chewing sand for breakfast. They bestow two, 'Eggs'? Its what id say is their 'coup de grâce' to this one way ticket to dry town. BYO butter or fill up a drink bottle because this is gonna be.

2 stars. Cant complain about welly on a good day.

Couldn't understand the ticket operator as she was eating and talking at the same time poor customer service

Pretty average experience today. Very limited choice of food. Ordered soup which I was told was pumpkin, Kumara & coconut, when it arrived it was like a continental cup of soup ina flavor I couldn’t describe. $8 for a very average milkshake is a bit of a rip off compared to what you can get elsewhere for way less. Wouldn’t recommend or go back.

Exceptional New York style cheesecake!

Have not had a meal here though. A friend once got the muscles and loved them.

Their selection of cakes and slices changes regularly. The cheesecake is not always there, either.

Hi, we ordered a 50-50 pizza, fries and milkshake and a coffee. We loved the view, the fries and the milkshake, but my half of pizza was a bit sad (prawn pizza). Also, our waiter was lovely, but his face mask was probably too big for him and was hanging by his chin all the time leaving his nose and mouth uncovered.

Worst coffee I've had in Wellington, maybe just the server that day. They also topped up our milkshake with plain milk because I guess they didn't make enough, which is ok in a cheapo milkbar, was disappointed here, we'll try the other cafe for our weekly botanic walk, I can't handle paying for bad coffee. The view is awesome of course! And the food is decent

Our first time here. Really nice coffee which came straight away but they somehow forgot our order for which we waited a long time. Place was very busy. But the lovely waitress apologized & offered us free drinks for the long wait which was great. Enjoyed the ordered meal.

Pretty much zero counter food here now. Only went for a coffee and probably a scone or something if they'd had any. Looks like they are emphasising table service menus, which we didn't try.
