Would rate 0 stars, if there was an option.

Attempted to have dinner at Verona tonight, failed. Or rather they did, and have done so for a while. Asked the front of house guy if they were still doing ‘vegan mondays’. He said no, and acted as if they never had. He then proceeded to yell at the chef, who was in the kitchen, for a few minutes, before telling him we wanted seeds and salad if he had any. The chef came out of the kitchen and told us to ‘f*** off’, actually.
Awkward, that they’ve gone from being a place that advertises itself on catering for vegan and organic diets, to this. Sad, offensive, ridiculous. Won’t be back. Wouldn’t recommend expecting to get a meal with any kind of service, from this place.
I honestly hope there are big changes made or something better replaces it.

Verona Cafe
Cheesecake mission Monday night.

I am standing at the bar. Three staff behind the bar. One walks past me and retrieves something from her bag. I interrupt her and ask if they make their cakes on the premises “No we buy them in from a shop” (and sell them for $7.00 a pop) She continues to walk past me and proceeds to open the item that she retrieved from her bag which were a pair of earring’s, try them on behind the bar whilst showing her work colleague and looking in the mirror. This took five minutes and then she returned and served me, I asked for a blueberry cheesecake. I walked home, opened up my package and inside was a passion-fruit cheesecake.

I had to stop myself going back to make a complaint to the owner as I thought it may end in me getting arrested.

The owner of that cafe pays his staff, three off them to stand there and try on earring’s whilst customers are waiting to be served.

This country is going to embarrass itself hosting the rugby world cup. Four years ago France hosted the it and the service and food was impeccable.

Yours sincerely
So F**ken Angry

Went for breakie today and it was a shambles:
Hardly anyone there
Coffee took 15 minutes
After 1/2 an hour some dude comes out and asks who ordered the vegan breakie and if we were in a hurry. I said, well I have been waiting 30 minutes already and what the menu says is fine(roasted crispy veges and tofu) as I’m gluten intolerant. Guy said he had just got my order now so it would be a while. Apparently the chef was late (it was 12:30). Great. Then my wifes meal arrived. Her poached eggs were rock hard.
I then had to walk in the rain to fed the parking meter and got soaked.
So my meal arrives and it was soggy eggplant and big hunks of soggy pumpkin with what looked like flour coated wedges and a bit of deep fried tofu (I admit that I said chips would be ok if that made it easier for them). Not what the menu said and not at all good.
They also had 2 chairs with broken backs at our table that were just useless if not dangerous. $50.00 for crap.
Hope this helps you Verona to sort it out. I welcome your response.
Good luck.

An incredible meal, fantastic service, and beautiful drinks. Right from the moment we walked in, we were attentively served, the meals came from the kitchen with such haste that had I not seen them cook them myself, I would have thought they were pre-prepared. All in all, make for a great evening, and I will most DEFINITELY be back.

Saturday brunch. Nothing short of disappointing. Less than welcoming service. Excessively long wait (30 mins) for 1 x BLAT and 1 x mushrooms on toast. No, there wasn’t a very heavy demand on the kitchen at the time.
Food was alright when it finally arrived, but not really worth the price tag.
I’m glad I had an Entertainment Book voucher (buy 1 main, get 1 main free) hich almost made the experience palatable.
Sorry Verona. You need to lift your game.
