This is my first review on OpenRice, I've never had such strong feelings about a restaurant that prompted me to write a review, until today.We had lunch in here about 2 years ago, and had mixed feelings. We decided to come back one day for lunch a few months back, and we were left with a different impression altogether.On this occasion, the Australian woman serving on this occasion was very impatient and rude.

We had lunch in here about 2 years ago, and had mixed feelings. We decided to come back one day for lunch a few months back, and we were left with a different impression altogether.
On this occasion, the Australian woman serving on this occasion was very impatient and rude. I make a point of being polite to serving staff, having worked in the food industry years back, but my questions about the menu were met with condescending answers and a totally unnecessary attitude. OK, I understand everyone has an off day, so I let it go. The place appeared to be either understaffed, or very poorly organised.
We ate lunch, my wife had a tuna sandwich, which she says tasted very odd. My daughter had the same, and refused to eat it. I had a microwaved pie, which tasted like it sounds. Not good. We waited a too long for our food and drinks, which were not good value at all, pretty expensive for poor quality food.
After this his let down of lunch, we decided not to bother with cake, even though what they had looked great. We left the restaurant with a promise never to return, having recalled during our visit the rude staff from the last time.
Today, we had a nice lunch elsewhere in Stanley, and foolishly, decided to look at the cakes on offer in Saffron. Everything looked good, so we broke our promise and ordered. With hindsight, the rude staff should have put us off and we should have taken ourselves to Starbucks a few doors down. Once again, the staff were rude, impatient, questions about the cakes seemed unwelcome. We waited at least 20 minutes for coffee and cake to be brought to the table. Again, far from good value, about $180 for 2 slices of cake, a cake pop and a latte. Now, I pay this amount for the same all the time, but when I do, I expect great food. The apple pie appeared to be homemade, soggy, and more pastry than apple. Chocolate cake was insipid, didn't taste of much. The cake pop was actually quite nice.
I'm going to keep my promise this time. I am NEVER eating in this place again.
