Wonderful experience.... Love the music...your food was also very nice I had the CJ's Chicken burger & my wife had a Pasta... Thank You to Elvie for a great lunch
Approximate cost: $15.00
We wanted somewhere for a late morning tea and thought that seeing we hadn't been to CJ's since new owners we would try them once again. Not too impressed I must say. We only had scones and skinny muggachinos. It took ages for the waitress to come back to take an order and we were the only 2nd table of people there. The scones were crappy and very dry and crumbling away, they used that aerated whipped cream out of a can and very little of it so it was really only enough for 1 half of 1 scone between the 1 scone each delivered. The coffees were so cool it wasn't funny. The curtains in the place were discusting and some were tied back and others not, they used red and white check gingham material which looked very scrappy and frayed in places. Even the table looked as if it hadn't been wiped properly. The new owners are not doing this restaurant a good service and we know we will never go back again, because if they couldn't get simple scones right what hope did they have for getting other food like a cooked meal right, and it was a weekend and they were not busy means maybe other diners had dined there in the past and certainly were not coming back. It was really a waste of time and money. The overall of this restaurant even for simple things like a Devonshire tea need a huge improvement.
You people have absolutely no idea.....CJ's has a wonderful warm atmosphere with great food , great coffee and great 60's music to sit and enjoy all the above.As far as the new owners go ..... They have turned this buisiness around , the food is wonderful both at CJ's & the Museum Cafe...
This is not true ....Looks to me like a shot at the new owners...
We have been eating there for years and will continue to do so..
Cheers

I am the person who left the rating in the 1st place and this was over 12 months ago if the 2 people would like to check the date of my comment. As I said I wouldn't go back, because we had previously been into CJ's a number of times, and this was what was true on the day, we do not know who owns the place now nor did we know who the previous owners were, all we know is what happened on the day and nothing more. If things have improved and it was just a one off thing I don't know. All I did was leave a true impression and that was my impression of what happened to us on the day. If WOMOW wants true ratings of how people find things then fine, we don't nor did we have any hidden agenda's except to leave what we found on the day nothing more or nothing less. If the 2 comments also made on the same day and only 20 minutes apart, maybe they have hidden agendas and know the owners. Maybe they are newer owners that the ones that were back in June 2008, if they are the same owners and have improved things well all I can say is good on you and I would be more than happy to go back. We had been to CJ's over a number of times since they opened and had been 2 owners that we know of and no we do not know who the owners or operators were or are. The 2 comments on my rating, should not be criticizing my rating, all they should be saying is how good they find it, as you were not with me or my husband on the day that we were there. The place was dirty, the curtains were scruffy, and the service and food was lousy. So if things have gotten better 13 months later then that is fine, but don't disrespect my opinion on how I found things then. As one comment said that the new owners have turned things around, maybe it is new owners since we were there over 12 months ago, and maybe the people making new ratings should read the date that my comment was made. I love 60's music and is that is what is happening then as I said I am more than happy to go back and give CJ's another go and hopefully it is better than our last visit there.
