Went here with my two year old for some afternoon tea. As we arrived there was a girl behind the counter who really looked like she didn't want to be there. We ordered drinks and food and were told the water was self serve. I had to clean a glass for us to use as every single one was dirty. Every single one. We sat up the back at a table my young one could play around as we waited. And waited. The drinks arrived first and were quite nice. Then a different confused looking teenager brought the food. I'm not sure why he was confused as we were the only people there. Once again, I had to clean. The cutlery was filthy, again every single bit. I had to choose one fork that was not as bad as the others and clean it with baby wipes. Given the ratio of clean to dirty we had earlier with the glasses, I didn't bother asking for different cutlery as I figured it would be a waste of time. Given it took a long time for things to arrive, we were there for a while. Ten minutes after the food arrived, they obviously decided it was it was time to close up and go home as all the lights were suddenly and unceremoniously turned off. As I said, we were up the back, no windows at all so it got pretty dark all of a sudden which is something two year olds just love (insert sarcasm emoji here). We took the unsubtle hint and collected our things and started to leave. No "sorry about that" or even a simple "thanks", just the two chatting behind the counter about how much they want to get out of there.

All in all, pretty shabby although the food was ok. The cleanliness, or lack thereof, of all of the utensils really made me question the cleanliness of their kitchen and of...

Down from Wellington for a few days, decided to meet Lyttelton friends..”at Shroom Room” they said enthusiastically. We arrived at 12 noon, a few minutes early…so looked for a table for 4. One patron was slumped over one table, (possible vegan OD), three other tables had the remains of food spread artistically around, looked like for some time. Various napkins adorned the floor. So in essence, very unappealing.

Walked out the back and a person who appeared to be a managerial type was having an animated conversation with local friends.

No one smiled or looked like they were interested in serving us, so we went down to the Lyttelton Coffee Club for a friendly welcome, a top notch BLT and a hearty side serving of Nick Cave.

Reviews for this place are good, but as some others have said, SR might want to work on the old customer service/clean the...
