Dôme Café - Geraldton — Restaurant in Geraldton

Dome Café Geraldton, A practice in mediocrity.

It's hard to recommend any Dome you might come across because in reality they have been providing the same dull experience since the first Dome opened in 1991.

All problems aside I will say the staff during my time being waited on was pleasant with training that didn't lack and a smile to welcome. Café décor is typical of any Dome with the hardwood flooring that always seems dirty, menus displayed in it's sticky gloriousness and surfaces mired in finger/hand prints suggesting rogue little people being let loose for that family friendly café vibe.

Onto the core experience of every café, that being the food and drink you intend to eat. This where this review begins to go sour, unlike their food which lacks all taste. Taste and display akin to fast food restaurants, designed to provide the same meal day in day out as to not offended any regulars whom (Lacking a better way to explain this) would order McDonalds over seas and call that a good culinarily adventure. Evidence of Domes cookie cutter cooking is displayed right on the plate as the hollandaise sauce looks as if they got it straight out of the bottle and limp salads being masked by a quantity over quality mantra.

Your drinking experience here will be unstimulating like sitting in the waiting room of the doctors surgery unless you enjoy touching all surfaces with sticky hands then Dome has a big selection for you friend and it's main ingredient is sugar. Back to the refined selection of beverages and its boring. Coffee beans so inoffensive Greta Thunberg probably endorses them and Teas with so little imagination it didn't win the war for England.

Overall to put it plainly, Its Dome. That's it, It'll suit those whom are looking to have an interview in a neutral place, taking nan out for a meal but doesn't want to deal with a 'chef' who loves seasoning, taking your cousin out for a meal with 'those' children who have never been told no, taking anyone who finds pepper spicy and anyone who loves drive thru coffee.

If it isn't the McDonalds of Cafes, "I'll see...

This review has been a long time coming , I've given dome dozens of chances a year, over atleast 6-8 years , and I'm 99% always disappointed. Orders are always constantly wrong , every time , without fail, always made wrong and/or something is forgotten, whether they are busy or quiet with 3 customer, they manage to stuff things up . I understand people make mistakes and it's life , but I've never had a good experience here , which is a shame because I absolutely love the food . But having to remind staff about forgotten items , and still no outcome, or waiting an extreme amount of time for something to be fixed , makes me always regret giving them a 29th chance. Just this past weekend part of our order was forgotten , I asked the staff members 3 separate times nicely if they could amend ( showing my receipt) nothing happen, I then had to go ask for a refund on the menu item as breakfast was over and wasn't going to wait any longer , which is disappointing because I'd much rather give my money to the business in exchange for there delicious food . However I'm sure I'll go back and be disappointed and upset constantly, I'll give them more chances, and if things get better , I'll change my review to positive, don't have my hopes up though. I hope I eat my own words instead of wrong orders and missing items . Doesn't matter how much I ask staff nicely, they never amend...

Decide to have breakfast on our way back to Perth from Kalbarri, went there with a group of 6 adults and 4 kids. Foods were order separately ,first order came the Asian lady who bought our food seems to be angry when told her the waffles are for my kids and to place it infront them, guess she just wanted to dumped the food on the table, second order came same thing with her. 1 of our friend got 3 small pieces of chicken in his bread and bread was cut in half, the other side had no chicken at all and egg was missing. We went to the counter to tell them,they took it to the kitchen and from where we were sitting we could see the chef just dumped it in the bin without looking at it and waitress told us they put the egg on our other friend bread, took both receipts to show them that both person has order eggs and paid for them. And waited for a atleast 30 mins for a butter chicken to come which never did. Went again to tell them and ofcourse all of us has already nearly finish eating so they refund the money saying sorry, we were there for atleast an hour and the whole time the Asian lady didn't stop giving us dirty look. After spending 6 days in Kalbarri where we ate amazing food and spend very nice holidays , eating a Dome was definitely the worse thing we did...
