Dome - Sandy Bay

Non potevo fare a meno di ridere sull'altra valutazione che si lamenta che i pane a croce calda erano più costosi rispetto al supermercato. Sì, Darl, ma questo significa un caffè. Sono rimasto sorpreso di quanto fosse il mio caffè, e tutto ciò che abbiamo mangiato era delizioso. Una bella atmosfera, sedie confortevoli, una vasta selezione di riviste. Tornerò sicuramente alla mia prossima visita di Hobart.

Oggi fino a pranzo si fermò e tutto ciò che abbiamo ordinato era delizioso e a mio parere era adatto da standard eccezionali. Il ruolo vegetariano era uno dei migliori che ho mangiato finora. Questa sarà sicuramente una delle cose che mi mancherà quando lascio Hobart. Hai anche un hamburger vegetariano che offriva di provarlo, tornerò sicuramente quando tornerò a Hobart.

Coffee is fantastic here - don't be put off by the franchise name. They have a range of frappicinos which is delicious on a hot day & those not needing to watch the calories! The cafe is spacious & decorated with style. Food is varied (perhaps too franchise-cafe-like menu for my personal taste), but it is popular with all age groups. Service is friendly, welcoming & family friendly (they provide colouring pencils & pictures to colour to keep kids entertained). For me, it's a winner as coffee is consistently excellent.

MY wife and I have gone here most Sundays for years. We like reading the papers with a nice all-day breakfast. Food and coffee always very good, and almost all staff and regular female manager excellent. However a couple of weeks ago on a Sunday an incident occurred which made us decide never to return. I went to order while my wife selected a pair of small tables for us to sit at. The tables were not marked reserved. A male manager we had never seen before approached my wife and asked in a manner she took as patronising: "Are you by yourself, love". She said she was with her husband. He wanted to know where I was (why?) and then said they were busy and needed the tables for new bookings. When she said they were not marked reserved he then said she was being selfish wanting two small tables for the two of us, and that we were picking the busiest time of the week to do this (they were not crowded at the time). Every week we selected two small tables and even when it was crowded rarely had trouble doing this. On the rare occasions we couldn't get that we settled for one small table. But on this occasion, after spending over $10,000 in this restaurant over the years, suddenly we are being selfish. After this occurred my wife approached me and said she wanted to leave, then went outside. The male manager approached and rather assertively told me he had asked her politely to move. Our interpretation of politeness does not mach his. We think his definition of politeness belongs in a pub on the poor side of town. We were both very offended by the boorish insensitive approach and the apparent attitude that because my wife was dressed casually she was some sort of bag lady not warranting respect. This manager does not have the people skills to be in restaurant management in this area. We will never go there again. This is a shame because we like the place, but I am not going to go there again and wonder if some boor of a manager is going to move us off an unreserved table for being "selfish". I don't accept his excuse that they had a new booking with little notice - getting a new booking doesn't mean you move people already seated at unreserved tables, and it certainly doesn't excuse accusing long time regular customers of being "selfish".

I have been to Dome several times for breakfast and the latest visit did not disappoint.I especially like the coffee, and enjoyed my choice once again.Breakfast serves were large and nicely presented although rather slow inn arriving at the table.I always get the feeling that there is not a sufficient number of staff to cater for the busy periods. Most people do not have time to dwell on a breakfast meal and expect sharp and efficient service so I would avoid Dome Sandy Bay unless you have at least 45 mins to 1 hour to spare.
