I don't often leave reviews unless a place really has that impact to make it memorable. Wow talk about being pleasantly surprised! We live local and regularly visit the park and beach but for the first time today we sat at cantina and ordered some pizza... Good pizza that tastes like it's made with care and good ingredients.
We had a large beef brisket, and a large mozzarella, there was a reasonable wait as you'd expect when eating out.
Staff were friendly and seemed happy, drinks were out shortly after ordering and it was busy but spacious.
But it's not just the food or the staff, there's a few little pleasant suprises within cantina as well that gives the place a bit of heart and fun whilst proving it's not a rush for money business.
This is a lovely family place to go but I'd also be glad to go with a few friends for a drink and bite to eat, in a good location and I got the impression that it was truly designed around giving the customer a pleasant experience.
You've just got to go in and see for yourself and be sure to leave a tip, they deserve it.
The pizza was so good we got another to takeaway and some cake as well.
No acid, no grease, just good clean pizza in a comfortable environment.
👍😊 Well done kitchen and foh you must be a great team, I imagine you have a good boss as well. Il be sure to tell my friends, customers and work colleagues, see you again cantina
Cant complain with the overall cost either fair price for a...
Read moreI've visited this cafe, restaurant for many years and seen management and staff, decor and menu changes over this time. In its present guise the indoor area is quite relaxed and the outdoor area is similar and really comes into its own I'm the summer when holidaymakers join locals as Customers. I've found the staff friendly and the service efficient, the most recent visit being no exception. However on a recent visit the burglar alarm went off whilst I was sitting outside with others making conversation impossible. I believe the owner came out and observed the errant siren a couple of times but at no point did he or any of the staff attempt to apologise for the ongoing alarm or explain what was happening. Not good . The coffee is fine here and the cakes look good and the food can be interesting and tasty - either the "fast food" or more interesting specials. Like a growing number of places it's payment by "card only" . I find this trend annoying and discriminates against people who do not have a bank card . You also need to give your table number when ordering so if you are on your own you have the problem of "saving" a table whilst you place your order. Ordering by phone may be an option but again there are people who don't possess smart phones. Lastly you need to accept dogs as many customers are accompanied by their pet or pets. Sometimes the dogs aren't obedient or calm! The live music is usually of a...
Read moreWe arrived at 11:35, knowing that breakfast finished at 11:45. I not been well and haven’t been enjoying food lately but had really enjoyed the vanilla crumble French toast a few weeks ago. We could’ve ordered, with time to spare, via the app but my friend is GF so wanted to ask if it was available with GF bread. She queued behind 2 other people. I asked the lady who was making coffee if we would still be able to order from the breakfast menu and she assured me that we would as were in the queue. However, we were then told that the chef would not allow this. It was still only 11:42 when we were stood at the counter to order. I have been a regular customer here for years. Been to events, NYE, family Sunday Roast, both summer and winter, and I regularly take people there. I understand that he knows none of that, or how poorly I have been (irrelevant I know) and the lady behind the counter was so apologetic. But even with no reason we could still have ordered in time. Not busy, and no good reason to refuse us. I would have left had it not been that my friend had come a long way to take me there for that specific easy to make breakfast. Not a pleasant visit, and if you’re going to doggedly stick to the rules at least make sure you’re...
