House For An Art Lover Art Lovers Cafe

I write this with heavy heart as the cafe has long been our ‘go to’ place for lunch or coffee and scones/cake. Lunch dropped off the agenda some time ago , as I have not been impressed with the rarely changing menu.I did try the Art Lovers salad a few weeks back when a friend was keen to have lunch there but it was really poor.Fairly tasteless dressing and two big, muckle lumps of chicken dumped on top . Not chargrilled in nice sliced pieces but cooked and served as if someone really couldn’t be bothered.There were also two big chunks of avocado..again, poorly presented. I had long thought the scones here were amongst the very best(being a scone aficionado But on the last two visits for tea...

I have visited several times before and enjoyed the service and the food, however we were very disappointed with the service and the food. A charming lady showed us to a table. A rather glum waitress then took our drinks order. We waited over 30 minutes for two salads. The avocados tasted like they had been immersed in a vinegar type dressing. The poached egg had no yolk, a tiny amount of yellow liquid on the plate was all that remained of it. My husbands salad was not much better. A very cheery waitress passed by the table several times, but unfortunately we were served by the glum girl. We didn’t wait for coffee. Such a pity, it used to be so good.

Unfortunately we were very disappointed with the food. 2 ciabatta with cheese and tomato, still looking for the cheese and the tomato was supposed to be marinated, which did not taste of anything. It was extremely dry. My daughter had the smoked salmon baguel which was dry and lacked filling also. Service was ok, though reasonably cheery staff.

Came here again (I am a creature of habit on my rare visits to the Southside) and the service, coffee and food were great. It was busyish and the coffee could have been a little quicker but I'm just nit picking...great parking and free. The staff are always really pleasant and helpful.
