Mozaik - COOKS HILL

This cafe' really should be raking it in: it's in a prime location, there is ample seating outside for that real cafe' experience, and the parking is not only close by but free if you order at least $10 (pretty easy to do, with their prices).But I just had one of the most disappointing meals in years, in a restaurant that had 5 tables filled at most during the time that I was there--peak lunch time. I now understand why so few people tried to eat there. The service was stunningly slow: half an hour to be served once my partner and I had ordered, then at the end of the meal I made the mistake of ordering a coffee that took a half hour to arrive. Again, in a restaurant that never had more than 5 tables filled! The food, when it finally arrived was not that good. My husband's 'creamy chicken and bacon over pasta' had a very thin sauce, little chicken and bacon, and the sauce tasted mainly of parmesan. My salmon was ok (a little overcooked, but then it's hard to cook a salmon fillet that thin) but it was a very small portion of salmon. I know that lunch servings are smaller than dinner servings, but at $24.50 the lunch price was not far off a dinner price, and this was a seriously small and thin fillet. The salmon came with a salad and two different potato dishes (chips and new potatoes in hollandaise)--not very imaginative an why have 2 potato dishes?Did I mention that the service was stunningly slow? We saw one family walk out after waiting 20 minutes for their order. Another two groups tried to order but were told that the kitchen was out of the ingredients for their choices. The service was a shambles. The server was trying her best but was obviously out of her depth. Oh, and to top it all off, the server gave us incorrect instructions on how to get the parking validation.

I was hesitant when my friend brought me to this restaurant. I never imagined people would eat crepes for lunch.

Waiter was awesome! He recommended we skip the wine and beer and go straight for the cider! Cider did not disappoint! I had the best crepe I've ever had

Them). I recently tried the bretonne crepes at this restaurant, and they did not disappoint. The crepes were thin and crispy, with a perfectly golden brown color. I opted for the savory filling of ham, cheese, and spinach, and it was absolutely delicious. The combination of flavors was spot on, and I left feeling satisfied and happy. I will definitely be returning to try more of their crepe options in the near future. If you're a fan of crepes, this place is definitely worth a visit.

This cafe really has a lot going for it: it's in a great location with plenty of outdoor seating for a true cafe experience, and the parking is conveniently close and free with a minimum purchase of $10 (which is easy to achieve with their prices). However, I had one of the most disappointing meals in years here, despite the fact that the restaurant was mostly empty with only 5 tables. The service was incredibly slow, taking half an hour to bring our food after we had ordered, and another half hour for a coffee at the end of the meal. The quality of the food was not impressive either. My partner's 'creamy ham and speck pasta' had a thin sauce with small portions of chicken and speck, tasting mostly of parmesan. My salmon was okay but overcooked, with a small portion. The meal came with a salad and two different potato dishes (chips and new potatoes in hollandaise), which seemed uncreative. The service continued to be slow, with delays in taking orders and the kitchen running out of ingredients for certain dishes. The server did their best but seemed overwhelmed. Overall, the false instructions about parking validation added to the disappointment of the experience.
