13th Stag — Restaurant in Hawke's Bay

I am writing this as hoping some improvements can be made. I had a scone and it was So dry I couldn't eat it. When I found out my friend had just ordered the same I went to the counter explaining that I would like to change her order to something else as the cheese s one was too dry to eat. I wasn't given any compensation for this. Then I ordered a coffee which took 30mins to come going to the wrong table and another had to be made. Yes I understand mistakes get made but make up for them and if the food and it is definitely on the expensive side, isn't up to standard again show good customer service and make it right. Unfortunately this has put me off going again but I hope improvements are made for...

Tiffany and her colleagues are always so welcoming, no matter how busy they are. Always there is a sense of calm and control. Without fail every customer is welcomed with a smile and a greeting. The food is of the highest quality and promptly served. The barista coffee is consistently excellent, again served promptly.

A lovely place to dine, moderate prices, the menu available on their website. Great selection.

However, wish they would list what ingredients are in the smoothies. Plus, I know seeds are trendy, but not everyone can eat seeds, due to gut illnesses (which are a growing concern).

I recommend you tell the staff not to garnish with seeds if it's an issue for you. Not an issue to my son who can tolerate grain bread as pictured.

Love how there are vegan, low carb & keto...
