What Brett Martin likes about Detour Lounge:
Seafood chowder best in town 'the others top meals Service: Dine in Meal type: Lunch Price per person: NZ$20–30 Food: 5 Service: 4 Atmosphere: 3 Recommended dishes: Lamb Rack, Surf and Turf, Seafood Linguine View all feedback. What Justine Knowles doesn't like about Detour Lounge:
We just walked in and were being ushered to our seat when another older woman barked at the waitress that they aren’t taking walk ins. Literally as she walked passed us. How about having great customer service and quickly stopping and personally saying, sorry today we’re not taking walk in considering she was as close to us as the waitress. RUDE Service: 1 View all feedback.
