Well I wasn't expecting much from previous reviews but my experience was fine! Chicken focaccia is actually as described unlike another review stated - it is a chicken mushroom tarragon sauce in a focaccia. Not everyone's taste but I liked it. The menu is exhaustive - and exhausting to read. Maybe they should focus a bit! Anyway it clearly says changes and modifications politely declined - get over it!! Coffee was good and tomato juice spiced with celery - yum.

A group of us ladies went for lunch here the other day. I had read the reviews about the cafe, some of them not very good, so I went wondering what to expect. Well our lunch experience was great. the menu was varied and interesting and my choice of the steak sandwich was absolutely delicious (I could have licked my plate) one friend had the beef stroganoff and ate the lot (she rarely eats everything on her plate) another the soup and garlic bread, and the other had eggs benedict which she also enjoyed. We also tried the dessert menu, I settled for the brownie dish (yum) and the rest had the ice cream sundaes. The service couldnt be faulted. All of us ladies go out for lunch a lot and we all decided this was pretty good and would definitely go back.

Went on a windy Sunday afternoon for two gourmet burger combo deals. Another deal from Grabone!! I had the lamb, feta and minted burger on focaccia with salad plus fries and soft drink. The better half had the grilled chicken with pineapple and passion fruit toppings, salad and fries with a drink. Both were nice burgers (although the lamb pattie was pretty small) and for the total price were good value for what we got. No way however would I pay normal price of about $24 each for the experience. So how do I rate the place. Well the service was excellent. Which surprised me given the previous reviews. Must be somewhere where there is no in between. It's either pretty good or pretty bad. Anyhow we had a good experience. So would we go back again. Yes, if we had a half price deal. No for a full price meal. Shame really as the voucher deals are there for someone to "try" a venue on the basis of if it is good then you'll return. This was good but I won't return without the discounted meals.

Great value for money. Although we used a voucher deal the normal prices seemed reasonable especially the $45 meal deal.
The service was quick and friendly and the portion sizes generous. I also liked the choice of two sauces ( in separate dishes)with our steaks as I couldn't decided on just one.
The crème brulee for dessert was to die for.
Would definitely recommend and go back to try other menu options.
Great as a casual or more upmarket place to dine

Fantastic meal. 4 of us went for brunch and were all VERY HAPPY with our meal as we have been previously. We had coffee 3 of us decaf at no extra charge. Also used our Entertainment Voucher with no problem. A table of 20 came in 30mins after us and they were all served together. Would highly recommend.

Great place for a coffee. I like the seating, the light and sense of spaciousness at Cafe del mar. I've never eaten here (and by the reviewed comments probably won't), but have used it many times to catch up with friends over coffee or wine. They consistently make good coffee and have some delicious wines in their selection.

Myself & 3 friends went to Cafe Del Mar in June, We had a friendly new waitress. 2 of us ordered the beef salad, when they arrived they were cold, meat was bland and rest of it was tasteless. Not usually being one to complain about a meal I I was slightly embarrassed to mention it. The waitress asked if everything was ok and I decided to be honest. The manager was called out and she was very understanding. She let us choose a new main meal each. I was very impressed by this service! Our new meals were the chicken filo and they were really delicious. This was a voucher deal we got for $70 for 4 people for a main, dessert and a wine. An absolute great deal! Thank you Cafe Del Mar for being understanding!

We were last there about a year ago and I then had a most stunning steak and a fabulous meal. A sweet young waitress who was new to the job. The owner was there and we told him to keep her on.
Went again on Sunday and again had fabulous meals (both different
steaks). The service is so friendly and helpful and we feel very comfortable there. Would highly recommend for quality of the food and price.
If we lived nearer we would be there weekly. We travel overseas a lot and this place is among the best. It may not be silver service and starched waiters but this is not what they advertise and not what we want too often.
Also like taking our own wine.

My wife and I have been to Cafe Del Mar for 2 Breakfasts and a Lunch.
Very well priced food and very tasty, I had the Pea pie pud, without a doubt the best Pie I have ever had .
Think the TVs are a little tacky but service is magic every time we go.
Planning to try the Tea menu as this is now our favourite cafe

Went there for dinner tonight (Monday) place was fairly empty. We found the service to be quite slow but they were training someone so it was alright. Despite our meals taking quite a while to arrive, the staff were attentive without being invasive.
My husband really liked the airy-relaxed cafe setting. Husband had a steak main and really enjoyed it, said it was a fantastic meal for $24. I had the chicken with passion-fruit sauce, mash and cashews. This was pretty good, not something I have seen before so was a nice change!
I really enjoyed the selection and choice. My husband is t-total and I am pregnant so finding somewhere that caters to our needs at the moment is tricky!
We felt the prices were reasonable.
We then had desserts, apple tart and pecan pie. The pecan pie was delicious!
We would go again!
