"Really disappointing our experience here today. We arrived and got seated. In the meantime three other new tables came in that were seated , given menus, and there orders taken whilst we still hadn't even been given a menu. We had to get up and get our own menus. Then we had to go to the front to ask someone to take our order. Our food was decent but Unfortunately we won't return nor would be recommend as we were actually basically ignored. We eat out a lot and it is rare that we receive treatment like this at a resturant"

"Awful customer service. Overcharged. We had a horrible experience at this cafe. We ordered and paid at the counter and it was only when we took our seats that I realised the price seemed a bit excessive for what we had ordered. When I checked the receipt, I could see that the amount charged was higher than the price on the menu. I went back to the lady behind the counter to get it corrected, however she refused, claiming that prices had recently increased and the menu was outdated. She insisted that the prices were correct in her computer system and therefore could not be changed and refused to refund the difference. It was only a few dollars, but at the very least I would expect an apology and/or for them to honour the prices in the menu. Instead I was met with hostility and rudeness. I would think that any decent business would honour the prices on the menu. She was rude and had an awful attitude. Also, toilets facilities were filthy and there was no toilet paper."

"I only had the steak sandwich with chips but by God that was a yummy steak sandwich. wasn't expecting that, no grizzle or chewy bits, not too much sauce falling out, bread was perfect and flavor quite full. service was quick and waiter was so nice."

"The chilli scrambled eggs were amazing. The amount of chilli, the texture of the eggs, and the salmon were fabulous. And the brioche bun was so buttery! And the best part was that I didn't even need to season it because the taste was so well balanced. The picture doesn't do it justice."

"We sourced our Grand Final pies from Johnny D today. Heated them at home. My steak and mushroom was a deep rich pie with the most amazing pastry and KD’s Chicken & Leek also was a tasty little number. They had a home made look about them and a taste to match. ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ Previous Reviews I grabbed a couple of coffees and lemon tarts for afternoon tea.   The coffee was smooth, the lemon tarts had a light lemon flavour with a slightly creamy almost custardy texture, very delicious.  I also liked the size, not to small and not too big. Previous Review Mar-18 I called into Johnny Dante for a small snack of a lunch after a late breakfast. I took a look in the cabinets which had a range of salads, pies and various delicious slices, cakes and muffins. I only ended up having coffee and a tomato cheese toastie. The toastie was a little bit average if I'm honest. For me the bread wasn't that exciting and cheese only just melted. It really could have used another minute or two I had no complaints about the coffee as it was strong and hot the way I like it. I'd come back here to try some of the cakes and I observed some hearty breakfasts that looked tasty and well plated but would probably not give the toastie another go."
