We were only able to book an outside table, however there was no mention that it would be a heated area. It become too hot and uncormfortable. The noise from the outside enetertainment was so loud it made the experience unpleasant

The food looked impressive but was tasteless. The fries were good. Fish tasted like the deep fry oil was old. Staff were friendly and location is good, so expected tasty food.

Hi Bruce, Thank you for taking time to review your experience at the HOTA Café. My sincere apologies that the Shiraz was not to your liking. Myself or the supervisor on duty would certainly had replaced had we been aware. I hope that you return and look forwards to seeing you if you do so. Kind regards, Paul HOTA Cafe and Bar Manager

HOTA cafe always does a nice job. The food selection is meagre if you are looking for gluten free but the prawn salad with rice noodles was very fresh with a good zing to it. Staff are lovely and were great in contacting me later to let me know my elderly mother had left her glasses n the table 🤦‍♀️. Thank you.
