The service was excellent and very inviting. The food was cooked perfectly and they also serve delicious coffee. I highly recommend this place for a cozy yet relaxed atmosphere. View all feedback. What User doesn't like about Retro Cafe:
Retro used to be a legendary Hobart institution. Sadly, it is a pale shadow of its former self. The service was slow and rude. My breakfast dish was cold, congealed, and poorly presented. My friend's salad was wilted and browning. The whole experience was overpriced, underwhelming and absolutely disappointing. Avoid like the plague. There are so many better offerings at Salamanca.
