Precinct at Tūhura — Restaurant in Otago

The downstairs Cafe is probably one of the worst places I've eaten in quite some time. Disorganised chaos Is one way to put it. I feel a better system with clear barriers to prevent people table hopping and cutting the queue would help. And then staff allowing another table to cut in and place their order while lines of people were waiting for a seat. A seating chart with the tables that are occupied and then crossed off when the next guests approach the desk would stop staff looking so clueless when trying to see if they can seat people. The food was atrocious! I had the chicken schnitzel I was awful the facoccia bun was dry with a wee dolop of dressing under the chicken and then two massive piles of coleslaw on top Hubby had a greasy mess of a so called breakfast bagel.

Overall, the Otago Museum Cafe is a recommended destination for those seeking a satisfying meal accompanied by a great ambiance and...

Service on arrival was good. However, when we asked to add avocado to our breakfast the waiter informed us that they had run out. Later the diners next to us ordered and receive smashed avocado on toast which left us feeling a bit deceived. We then had to wave down a waitress to ask for some cutlery so we could begin eating. The food was quite delicious and the serving size was more than enough. Once we thanked the waitress and paid for our meals another waiter ran us down at the door saying "Hey, I just need to grab some money of ya". He assumed we were leaving without paying, not bothering to ask his coworkers or ask us in the form of a polite question. This ruined the...
