Plantation House Cafe — Restaurant in Gold Coast City

Dear owners Please look into your staff. They very young girls who have no idea of hospitality. Yesterday, Saturday, 24/05/15. Around 12.30 pm I walked in to have a lunch. I sit inside in the nice white area. There were another two tables busy. I ordered an egg Benny with salmon as it is my favourite. I ve never seen or tasted such a poor quality egg benny. The bread was usual bread from the shop. The salmon was everage quality and the were no hollandaise souse in it or a tiny amount I even haven’t noticed it. Disappointing to pay $22 for a $3 dollar produce cooked poorly. Secondly, the elderly couple sitting in Deon of me were force to leave as young girl can and started to mop around their table and in front of my table while I was eating. The couple made a complaint about not finishing and girl cleaning while they are still were sitting at the table. I choose not to let it upset me as I was eating. When couple got up and left in disbelief the young girls stopped moping and gone into the kitchen. Then she came to pick my plate up and grab my still untouched glass and water to take away. I asked her if they were closing but she reply not , at 2pm so I asked can I have my glass and water back. There still were 30 min until closure but multiple young girls at the cafe could not wait to leave the working place and were very ignorant of the clients. I definitely will never be back and will tel other to avoid this place. Please discipline your stuff or pay them better. They are totally unmotivated to be there. Your businesses will die...

I used to come here regularly on my way up to Brisbane, however, on this visit I found it so lacklustre that I won’t bother again. The service was good: prompt and courteous, however, the food was a bit worse than ordinary. We had ordered standard cafe fare which is usually really reliable but in this case was not. The burger was in pieces and the chips were overcooked and unsalted, the salt in the grinders was so damp that nothing was grinding. The fish was overcooked and dry and the salad was soggy and some leaves were definitely on the way out. The drinks were fine, tea, coffee and juice. The ambience has gone downhill due to the road being a lot busier and the plants which previously separated the cafe seating from the road being removed. All in all, it was sufficiently disappointing to make me decide to find a new cafe for a stopover, and also to actually write a review. Once again, the serving staff were fine, it is the food that has...

Waited an hour for soup, scrambled eggs and a coffee. We sat outside, waited 30 minutes before going to check on our order. They had made the coffee but couldn't find our table. There is a massive seating area around the back so naturally, you'd check the tables out there if you were bringing an order. So the coffee was left on the counter. They made another one, but it was the wrong size, I ordered a large and she came out with a small. So they then brought out a takeaway cup (I ordered a mug) with coffee in it about an inch from the top, obviously just tipping the small coffee into the bigger cup. It was busy, however being a Saturday morning in the school holidays you'd think they would have more staff on. Our order was simple and required minimal preparation so I'm really agast that it took an HOUR to get to us. The soup, curried pumpkin was so bland, I'm sure if was out of a can. We've been here twice and this will be...
