The mushroom and pancetta linguine was spot on, really good pasta. The shin of beef main was a bit heavy for me though.

Decent portions, so I usually have leftovers for lunch. Food&#39;s tasty, no complaints there. The house red was a solid match for the hearty mains. Service was on point. Good vibes, as always.

The garlic chili chicken was so fresh, you could really taste the quality of the ingredients. The chicken was tender and the spices felt authentic. A really nice, simple dish. The portion was just right for me.

I was impressed by their drinks menu. The Tyris IPA from Valencia had a lovely crispness, and I appreciated that the Dirty Banana cocktail wasn&#39;t overly sweet. The focus on quality ingredients really showed.

Great spot for a quick lunch. Halloumi wrap was spot on, really tasty. Service was fast, got my order in no time. Perfect for when you&#39;re in a rush.

Been coming here for years. It&#39;s a decent Spoons, better than most round here. The beer garden&#39;s a nice spot when the sun&#39;s out. Prices are still fair, which keeps me coming back.

Don&#39;t be fooled by the van! The food is seriously good. We grabbed the tacos and they were spot on every time. Perfect for a casual catch-up with mates after work.

Jodie was a great server, very patient and checked on us just the right amount. Made the meal nice and relaxed.

The rooftop view is the main draw here. Grabbed a pint and just sat for a while watching the town. Good spot to unwind.

First time trying poutine here. The fries were crispy, and the cheese curds squeaked just right. That gravy was so rich and savoury, really hit the spot on a chilly evening. A solid intro to the dish!

The breakfast was really good value for money. Big portions, lots of options, and the price felt fair for what you get. That&#39;s what stood out for me.

The cheese scone was a bit on the dense side, but still had a nice flavour. I&#39;m a sucker for their homemade cakes though - that brownie hit the spot. Such a bright, airy space to just chill with a coffee.

The Sunday buffet&#39;s roast beef was cooked just right, not dry at all. They kept offering more, which was nice.

Just had the lamb shawarma platter, it&#39;s huge! The pita they bring out first is warm and fluffy, a really nice start. The staff were super chill about us taking our time.

Loved the garden seating for lunch! Our server was really attentive, kept checking in without being overbearing. Food came out super quick too. A really nice spot when the sun&#39;s out. 🌿

Stopped in after my first choice was booked. The pizza was solid, better than I thought for the price. Good for families - they have highchairs and a changing table. Handy location for a quick meal.

Lovely, cosy spot for a relaxed dinner. The decor is stylish but still feels welcoming, not stuffy at all.

Laura was our waitress and she was brilliant. Really friendly and made the whole thing feel easy, even with a big group. The birthday cake they brought out was a nice touch. Service was definitely the highlight.

The pho broth was light and fragrant, really clean tasting. The banh mi had a soft baguette packed with meats and pickled veggies. Just what I was hoping for from a local spot.

Been coming here for years. The chicken gyros are always spot on.

The afternoon tea presentation was spot on. Sandwiches fresh, cakes properly moist. Good tea selection too. The quirky decor is there, but honestly, the food itself is what stood out for me.

The fish and chips were spot on, really crispy and golden. The chicken tikka masala was nicely spiced too. A solid meal, though the chips could have been a touch hotter.

Just popped in for fish and chips. The batter was super crispy, fish inside was proper juicy. A bit pricey maybe, but it hit the spot. Nice relaxed spot for a casual bite.

The food was so hot it almost burned my tongue. That&#39;s a good thing, though. A solid choice for a quick, no-fuss meal.

Tried the chicken sharer platter for the first time. The wings had so much flavour, and those tenders were juicy inside with a really crispy coating. Just a solid, tasty plate of food.

Love the vibe here for a casual catch-up. The food portions are huge, so sharing a few plates with friends is perfect. We tried the fish and chips and a burger, both were solid pub grub. Just a heads up, it gets pretty loud later on!

Good value breakfast, portions are generous. Service was quick and friendly. Can get a bit loud when busy.

Great service for our big Christmas party. They even called ahead about a dessert change, which was really thoughtful.
