I go to Limnos somerset west often, however I was not impressed today which is sad to say my second bad experience with them. Got to the restaurant, I was told to take a seat cause I wanted a sit down lunch, and that someone was going to attend to me shortly. Needless to say I sat for 5+mins and no one came to clean the table nor to take my order. Thought Id wait another min or two and still did not get assisted. I literally up and left to another restaurant where I got assisted the minute I walked in. Poor customer experience for me. 🙁

Wanted some cakes to take home and after a less than welcoming reception I had the audacity to ask the lady behind the counter a question... Her body language made it evident that she didnt want to help me, so I made her life easier by telling her not to bother with the cakes. Decent customer service might help your turnover.

I was looking for an incredible piece of cake to go with my coffee. The cappuccino that I got was weak and lukewarm. The cake was phenomenal but only because I chose it without any assistance from the staff working there. I am a professional waitron and I know the difference between phenomenal service and doing the least to earn a wage. Guess which one I got? 😳

I would like the compliment the friendly staff and manager overseeing her staff. My two boys now 10 & 12 are always over the moon if we go to Limnos at Somerset Mall. Your breakfast is the best in the West. Compliments once again. !!!!!!

Addicted to their pastries. Bit on the expensive side but worth every penny. Staff are always friendly and great you with a smile. Love em! Love the brand! Perfect remedy to any bad day and the best place to celebrate an epic one, especially if you have a sweet tooth..

2 cappuccinos, freshest apple crumble, tastiest custard slice, we were already served within 10 minutes of being seated. Truly one of the best experiences in a long time. Fully recommend

The staff are totally rude and disrespectful, as I was getting a taster on offer I was shouted at in front of other customers and told that these are only for real customers and that she doesn’t have time for me. Amazing goods but quality of customer service is disgusting. Never felt so degraded in a restaurant in all my life.

Review №25

Surprisingly disappointing. Having eaten there numerous times, I was very disappointed. Service was really not good. My son and I were the first customers there. I ordered the cake and coffee special, my son decided on pancakes and ice cream. The cakes selections given were all chocolate variations and one carrot cake.The cake was very dry and unappetising, and my cappuccino was in a kid size cup which couldnt be held properly. My son waited and waited for pancakes. His ice cream was almost melting onto the table and still no pancakes. The manager eventually went to the kitchen ask what was happening with the pancakes as other tables had received breakfast already.After we finished we sat waiting for our waitress to appear. She was more content to stand with her back to us chatting with the waiters. We eventually got up and went to the counter to ask for our bill to settle.Not value for money, not good service and definitely not good quality. I was also disappointed to see such a meagre selection of delicacies in the display cases. Certainly not used to Limnos like this. What has happened?

As a huge Limnos fan, I recently paid a visit to the Somerset Mall branch and had some coffee and cake. Their cake and Macaroons are always fresh and the service was really great. I will definitely visit again and again in the very near future...

Service sucks! Sat there without a menu for 10 minutes. Waiters never showed up, as they were too busy playing with their phones. Was greated with a look of bovine indifference when asking for a menu. Please hire people who can at least speak English, instead of hiring barely sentient zombies just to save a few Rand...

This shift’s staff behind the counter looks like they don’t want to be here. Not sure if she smiled once today, she looks sad. Was clearly an effort to help me. Not the service I’m used to at Limnos 👍🏼11 October, 11:34am
