We went to Otaki today 28 Dec 2019 to celebrate a 65th birthday.We placed the order prior to 12:30 pm. We chose Red cafe for our celebration lunch.My wife chose the Bacon and Avocado special while I chose the Red’s All day breakfast. We also chose orange drinks and coffee.Drinks arrived in a timely manner and then we waited, and waited and waited for our meals.Our daughter joined us @ 12:35 and placed her order around 12:40 – her meal arrived and was finished and we were still waiting for our meals. We saw others who arrived after us get their meals and then finish them and depart. After 35 minutes I went up to the counter and was told that our meals would come out in time and that we should wait our turn. The person in charge talked me down and did not listen. When the meals did arrive (after 45 minutes) the Bacon and Avocado special had no Bacon on the plate and was cold. We explained that my wife was on time sensitive medication and had waited well past her time when she should have eaten. The response was that our type of order takes 30 minutes to prepare – we had waited over 45 minutes for food that was sub-standard. My big breakfast had a hash that was so crisp that I could hardly cut it. The mushrooms turned out to be an overcooked mushroom (singular).In summary the two meals were extremely overpriced at $40 for the two not mention our daughters Fettuccine which was also cold and was more like soup and she struggled to eat it.
Had lunch with a friend on Saturday. Service was friendly & quick, and the cafe was clean and tidy. The coffee was good. My BLAT had good points – the bread was very nice, and the tomato was fresh. But the avocado was brown mush and there were numerous bits of slimy green rotted lettuce mixed in with the fresh lettuce. The bacon was OK, but not cooked enough to make it crispy. So overall it was a mixed bag, and I didn’t eat all of my meal – the lettuce and avocado stayed on the plate.
Lunch here 2 days ago. Meals are great value and portions are massive. Coffee, really good. Pork belly, highly recommend, super tasty! Next time we’ll save room for cake.
Has to be one of the best steak meals I have ever had. I don’t normally eat entrees but glad I chose to this time. Definitely worth every penny. Friendly staff who are attentive
The eggs benedict with salmon was very generous, like the other breakfast options. Good coffee, and although nothing special, Reds is worthwhile for a filling, quality breakfast.
My wife and I went for early evening dinner last night. Friendly staff and good service. My mussels and Seafood Risotto were very good indeed. My wife was disappointed with aspects of the chicken dish. It was beautifully served but my wife felt that the spinach was old and quite stringy. She was also a little disappointed in the chicken. However, 10 out of 10 for the dessert! One more small point, the menu on their website could do with being updated. Seafood Risotto $23.50 on the web. In reality, $30.00.
