Pancake Place

Lust from a far is a lust gone too fast. $$$ plus 10% on the weekends? Really Pancake Place? I have gone passed many a times with lust for the past few years but never had the chance of dinning until Mother's Day. I feel like I made a poor choice. Even when asking for a coffee (which is usually a hot beverage) you showed me what you really give, luke warm bitterness when dealing with small groups of people and I probably should have skulled it before my meal arrived instead of waiting to have my drink with my meal. There should be no need for me to ask you specifically for a hot beverage that should already be served hot. One issue that was had was we got told that no reservation was needed and low and be hold we rock up for a nice dinning exsperience and there is reserved tables bigger than what we wanted. So we get seated outside, well really we all just stood around awkwardly at the door as we had to wait for two tables to get put together while also getting looked at annoyed by other staff members for having the said issue. Never mind that, I helped move the table myself since only one staff member was available yet there was three staff members involved in the 'where to sit process' and we all sat down to a very nice menu. One star for pancake place. So many choices on the menu yet what to get? Oh wait even after I order my 'light bites' to save room for actual pancakes I was stung by the 'I heard what you wanted and wrote it down but I'm going to give you a main meal with an even higher price anyway and charge like four bucks extra, is that cool?' No, no that is not cool. So no pancakes for me apparently. I must say the fruit/salad was nice, looked great, well if it had maybe a cheap apple it would have been better instead I get mash potato on my watermelon. Why Pancake Place? Let me explain something, if you have a crepe in the middle and your fruit and salad on one side, what is on the other side? Nothing! Maybe make a fruit side and a salad side so i dont pick up what looks like apple but tastes like raw mushroom and is mistakenly a raddish. Yes I understand your thinking, Mash potato? We don't serve watermelon on a bed of mash potato.... Oh wait but Pancake Place that is what you did, a bacon and potato crepe that was most definitely not the diced potato metioned on the menu. Okay I moved on from it so that I could just enjoy my crepe instead of worrying about how many people actually got what they ordered. The bird obbsession and stained glass on the inside of the building is very nice, cluttered but colourful which is a lot different to other places. One star for pancake place. You were successful for catching the childrens eyes so that they keep insisting to go there. One more star for Pancake Place, childrens meals are cheap, and lovabale even though its just a pancake with some ice cream and whatever amount of topping you choose that day. So inevitably you will have lots of children about with parents cringing when they get the receipt for their own meals. One mediocre coffee and half a plate of food shouldn't really equal $30 should it? As of the 10% on a weekend, im sorry, what is that even for because the only staff I saw was three teenagers, I believe that it is utterly rediculous that you give me such a poor experience and then plused 10% onto my order. please stop taking advantage of people and earn your 10% because if the experience was worth it I wouldn't feel like I just got ripped off. 3 stars because that was all I could justify.

Great serviceman food

While the food is a bit overpriced, I cannot fault the quality or the deliciousness! I am a huge fan of pancakes, and the assortment of selection is superb. I've eaten here a few times for breakfast and lunch and can positively say I will always recommend it. Great atmosphere, amazing food.

Best pancakes - full of chocolate, ice cream and berries. Excellent staff, fantastic service, reasonably priced. Recommend for pancakes and crapes.

We went there recently for the first time and thoroughly enjoyed ourselves.Good food and service. Will definitely will go again next time we are in Port M.

Back after 8 years and still the best pancakes ever. Great service and friendly staff

Absolutely outstanding!! Food presentation was amazing. A place that takes the effort to prepare wonderful looking plates is reflected on the expected taste of the food, which was delicious. Definitely worth a visit when your at the port!!

This place is a disaster. No customer care. Went there a Sunday morning. Ordered x3 pancakes with maple syrup. Waited 24min to be served... Only 5 tables were occupied and most of them already ordered. A total of x5 waitresses doing nothing but talking. Lucky the pancakes tasted good and we're a little bit warm otherwise would have left the place straight away.

Not sure which ice age these guys lives in. When we queued up, half the restaurant was empty and we requested to sit at a table that was empty however were refused seating because it was a larger table and we’re two people. So we happily sat somewhere else. Two people behind us got sat at that exact table, their order was taken after ours however they somehow were served their drinks and food much before us. Not sure why we would’ve been discriminated against in the first place. We received the food eventually; one dish had a thick black hair and we immediately returned it. We then had to remind them we’re still waiting on coffee which didn’t arrive for ages. Not sure how these guys have dropped to this level as in the past they were pretty good. Seriously disappointed with the treatment and the service. Would not recommend this place to anyone (and mistakenly have prior to this experience)

Absolutely amazing. Scrumptious meals. Fast and pleasant service. Outdoor tables are fantastic to enjoy great weather. Thanks for the great experience. Very highly recommend.
