Service
Pros:
"Brilliant service from Josh and Clare - nothing too much trouble for them."
"Great staff and service and a friendly atmosphere."
"Very professional and friendly staff."
"Fantastic staff, great food and brilliant atmosphere what more could you ask for."
"The service was brilliant."
"The service from then onwards was also perfect."
"The professionalism of this place is amazing. Every single one of your FOH staff were charming and friendly."
Cons:
"Toilets not checked often enough..no toilet paper."
"However right at the end, after we'd paid the bill (with a generous tip I add) this same server, I think Mauro asked where we were staying and then if we were driving."
"I thought that £18 was quite steep with such forgetful service."
"However the service was shocking and an hour after having our starter our main arrived."
"Called the restaurant early in the day to check if they had availability as no one contacted me back following my email, but the lady who answered firstly cut me off."
"We were then unable to get any attention when we wished to pay and leave."
"Service was okay ish."
Food Quality
Pros:
"The arancini is to die for!!"
"The mushroom bruschetta was one of the best ever, absolutely scrumptious."
"Tasty, quality Italian food at reasonable prices."
"The food on both occasions was excellent and we will definitely be visiting again the next time we are in Padstow."
"Ragu & Burger were exceptional, as were the Arancini starters."
"Absolutely delicious food."
"The BBQ Mackerel starter was very good!"
Cons:
"Ordered 2 starters £13 for 4 prawns. And £11 for a single fillet of mackerel on a slice of toast. They seemed very underwhelming for the price."
"Everything was over seasoned."
"The food was really really bad - we both had vegan pizzas and these were basically pizza dough with loads of salt and tomato purée with some very dried veg on top."
"They have really increased their prices - £19 for a burger, £18 for a mushroom pizza."
"The hotdog was, again, half decent food truck food."
"Salt and pepper prawns were overcooked and clearly not fresh."
"It all looked great on the menu but what was served was bland."
Value
Pros:
"They kindly let us off our first round of drinks for this reason which was appreciated."
"A little bit on the pricy side, although for the quality of ingredients and freshness of the food, it was well worth every penny."
"Cheap and very tasty!"
"Food is amazing and reasonably priced for Padstow."
"Great place to eat in Padstow and quite affordable for the area."
"I felt like our meal was fantastic value. For about £40 a head we had a great selection of excellent quality food amongst four people."
"The triple mustard sauce and parmesan topping added a decadent touch and the portion size meant the £5.50 price tag felt good value."
Cons:
"The menu was limited. The prices have increased considerably."
"What let's this place down is the portion size. It's definitely a place you pay to be seen as you will leave feeling hungry!"
"Too many staff supervising other staff serving us."
"Some tables were a bit cramped in, and at times we got an earful of aggressive 'service please' due to our location."
"£55 per head for cote de boef was outrageous. And the food itself was certainly not up to anywhere like the exorbitant price."
"Food varied from great to below average, and pretty poor value for money."
"3 drinks, 3 pizzas and 2 sides.. Total £75"
Ambiance
Pros:
"The decor was nice, as was the wine."
"Lovely and light front dining area."
"Nice atmosphere and great location."
"The ambiance at Cafe Rojano is usually warm and inviting, creating a relaxed and comfortable dining atmosphere."
"The atmosphere was relaxed, cozy and intimate."
"Just off the town square, it has a great glazed over section where it feels that you're eating outside, it has a great ambiance."
"Lovely light dining room and classic atmosphere."
Cons:
"We sat upstairs, which felt a little removed from the overall atmosphere of the place."
"Sadly it seems to be more style over substance these days."
"The tables are crammed together allowing no privacy as such you have no choice but hear the tables adjacent to you."
"Would avoid going upstairs."
"When we complained, we were told by the waitress that she did not consider this a bad location."
"Nice to sit in the conservatory bit and watch the world go by, but that's where the dog owners sit so can be a bit loud if someone brings a yampy animal."
"Service really slow, 30 mins for 3 coffee and cakes."
