Merivales Cafe Bar Restaurant

Nothing special but conveniently located inside the Convention centre.

Friendly, coffee is good. They do really well when customers come in dribs and drabs, or waves of several hundred. Two sandwich options, and a couple of salads. Initially a bit disappointed at the serve for my sandwich, but honestly it was fresh and very tasty. Better than you’d find at a servo or supermarket. Could use more lettuce, but otherwise satisfied.

All in all, a disappointing experience. Stale sandwiches, slow and substandard customer service from the gentleman taking orders. Waitress was lovely though. The coffee was terrible. At least the tables were clean!

Coffee not bad. Hot food is terrible. Chips are cold. Not hot at all. Pop corn chicken is cold and chewy. Chicken burger is cold over done and chewy. I got two cappuccino. One popcorn chicken. One chip. And one chicken burger. Came to $27 and the food was not eat able.

The staff was friendly and accommodating, and the food was excellent, catering well to our dietary preferences and even pleased our picky eater. Overall, it was a fantastic dining experience, even on a busy night. Thank you, Miyuki and team!
