Food is always good standard, service can range from adequate to good. More table service for drinks would be appreciated. Overall, we do come here frequently, it's convenient for movies & shopping

Excellent service. Meals were excellent. Friendly staff and we were placed at exactly the table I requested. Did not have to wait long for the meals to arrive and several times staff checked if we were ok for drinks. Highly reccomend.

Not a lot of flavor in the food. Service was very quick for a Saturday night. Pricing was very reasonable. Will go back again for a quick meal.

Good food, had the salt and pepper calamari which was amazing! Friendly helpful and very attentive staff although the restaurant wasn't very busy which may account for some of that. Not a place for 5 star dining but good prices.

Special request through Quandoo was ignored. Table service was poor. We had entree of dips delivered to our table to share....no plates, no serving ware, and because we were in the farthest corner we had trouble being noticed but eventually got plates shortly before we finished those. Plates, glasses, more glasses etc piled up so we stacked our plates to make more room on the table. When we asked the passing barista staff to take away our wine glasses (balancing on the outer edge of the table) she said nothing and stared at them for a moment before reluctantly snatching them and dumping them on a nearby counter. Food could have been better too. I'd certainly think twice before going again or recommending.

The service & atmosphere was fantastic, they even provided something not quite available on the menu. The Morrocan maybe a tad dry but great flavour.

Food was excellent. However, one meal was forgotten and didn't arrive until the rest of us were over halfway through our meals which was a little disappointing.

The fettuccine carbonara serving was on the small side for the price and the pizza wasn't overly tasty. Some older menu items are no longer available which is a shame. Service however was very good.

Great personable efficient service, excellent ambience and views, and really delicious food! We had the creamy yet crunchy eggplant Parma chips to start & calamari, perfectly light and oh so fresh. I also started with a very good espresso martini (amazingly only $10 as was cocktail of the week) so I ordered another! Followed by a crisp fresh vego Caesar with xtra anchovs- great Parmesan not overly dressed & topped with an egg & fresh croutons- ahhh so perfectly simple but so many restaurants get it so wrong. Thank you Groovetrain, I am truly impressed and will be back asap! Great choice of wines too def a spot for next date night pre movie bite 👍 Girls day/night, post shopping nosh or work get together!

Although it's casual dining you still expect the food to be edible, alas this was not. Rubbery chicken, boiled bacon and frozen vegetables. At $25 a meal I would rather eat at Macdonalds next time.

Service was good but food was rather tasteless. The nasi goreng was dry, the pizza was very bland and the chicken salad had some gristle in the chicken pieces. Overall we were disappointed with the meals.

Booking through Quandoo was very easy. Upon arrival we were seated promptly and drink orders taken. Floor staff appeared busy but well experienced staff would be able to cope. For a table of nine, from first meal to last hitting the table, 17mins passed. Six of us had finished our meals before the last one arrived. A kids beef burger was the the 2nd last meal to arrive...generally a no-no in restaurants. For the whole time we were there (2.5hrs), we only got one round of drinks, no one took a second round order. One meal arrived, just about to start eating, had poked the chop sticks and a fork in to see the ingredients when the waitress came back and just took it off the table saying wrong meal. Meat noodle dish delivered to a vegetarian. I will eat there again if just myself or couple of close friends who are easy going but for a birthday where you want to pic something nice where everything will go smoothly...I would go elsewhere.

Good quick generous sized meal. Was able to use voucher from the Entertainment book so worked out in our favour. Fish and chips a little over cooked but still good. Vege burger ordered again by my daughter, tasty as it was last time she ordered it.
