The General Lounge Cafe - MCCRAE

Food dreadful & overpriced. Don't worry about the service - the isn't any. Overpriced & food took forever to arrive. Music too loud & couldn't even talk to each other. Forget this place - MUCH better alternatives nearby. Never again.....

Nice place to come on a Sunday and relax. Enjoyed the vibe with the live music. Nice to see a business support live music. Great coffee!

On a Friday night a group of 8 of us (all adults) ate her. We'd eaten here 12 months earlier and knew the place could be crowded and noisy so we'd booked a table. All went well. We each had a pizza; they're moderate in size so a single pizza (costing $14-20 approx.) suits one hungry person, or two people could share with addition of a side dish. The café was not busy, perhaps because there was no live music (none was scheduled until the Sunday). Table service by a mature woman was friendly and accurate. Pizzas came out two at a time, meaning service was a tad slow overall; presumably there are facility or staff shortcomings in the kitchen.

Had the best, surprising night at this little hidden diamond. Small & happening space, live music & people just jammed & danced, must be a local space. Great fun & happy friendly people, great vibe. Definitely go there again.

Lovely spot with beach across the road, we just feel sad that the food was so awful - overpriced, small pizzas with little flavour and too much gristle on the chicken. Could have been so much better.
