Colonial Cafe — Restaurant in Wellington

While they were able to make my meal gluten free (coeliac) I didn’t receive (nor was I informed I wouldn’t get) fries with my open chicken & brie sandwich as stated on the menu board, yet I still paid full price PLUS the additional charge $2.50 for gluten free bread, all two slices. $24.50 total which was a bit of a rip off for 1 small piece of chicken with salad and bread - way overpriced, equivalent of a toasted sandwich with chicken and salad which would have been at least $15 cheaper! I won’t be going back after being ripped off. edit No additional ingredients were involved (unless no fries and no brie are “additional”) so less, bread would have been used no matter the type. Therefore no additional time require - in fact, less. My “condition” as you refer to it (as an inconvenience) is not “unique” unlike dietary choices, there’s a difference. You did not attended to my table “at least three times” only once, and I have the guests were dining with me to confirm this. You have proven with your response you are a rip off! None of this is personal...

It's been a while since I've been this disappointed with my food (I'm not fussy when it comes to food).

This place is incredibly expensive when you consider how average the quality of the food is here.

The staff were pretty friendly and the food came to us pretty quickly which was great, but the fries were incredibly bland and the toasted sandwich with dry chicken and cheese was just so unbelievably bland (I just ended up drowning it in BBQ sauce).

I then had a pretty uninspiring rocky road style cake which was again, so bland. I would feel pretty bad writing this review if the prices reflected the quality of the food,...

Recommended by a local. Awesome. Had the big Breakfast at $25.50. The food looked clean and fresh and tasted the same way with every mouth full as for the pastry it was to die for with pastry crum all over the front of my top. Who cares when the food tasted this good. Maybe the Breakfast chefs from Old Baileys should go up the Terrace to the Colonial Cafe and get a lesson on how to respect the food your handling for your customers. Colonial Cafe...
