    We were placed amidst a wedding function, and we had to dodge tables and chairs bumping into us by people moving furniture. It took 40 minutes to get our drinks, and another 30 minutes to get our food. You were clearly overbooked and had no control. The manageress kindly offered the food on the house, but I will never frequent this place again. We had to try and eat our food while dodging people bumping into us.

    Goddess Cafe Southdowns responded on Mon 02 Jun 25:
    Good Afternoon Nadine. Thank you for taking the time to rate us and send a review. I would like to sincerely apologize for the frustration and inconvenience. We were not over booked, we just had really large function bookings for the day which is normal for us, minus the furniture that was brought in by a guest for her bridal shower. It is difficult to control guests bookings and to ask people to leave from our morning functions or bookings when these tables are booked for the afternoon, hence why we had to move tables and chairs around to accommodate afternoon bookings. We allow 3 hours per function in a function room and 2 hours per table booking. I would love to host you again, ANYTIME in a more relaxed atmosphere. Again, I am very sorry for your awful experience. I really hope to see you again. Kind Regards, Bonnie
