First time here and had to get signed in by a member. A bit of a process, but the grilled octopus was worth it &ndash; tender and smoky, really hit the spot.

Been coming here every week with my uni friends. The coffee&#39;s always spot on, and the staff remember our orders sometimes. It&#39;s just a really chill spot to catch up.

Loved the tonkotsu here. The broth had that proper, rich depth you want, and the chashu was so tender it just fell apart. It&rsquo;s a cosy spot, tucked away from the main road. Really hit the spot on a chilly evening.

The staff were so friendly and attentive, really made the meal lovely. The place itself is warm, comfortable and spotlessly clean.

The staff are always so friendly, they really make you feel welcome. It&#39;s got a fun, social vibe with games to play, perfect for a group hangout.

Scallops were super fresh, pork belly crispy. The prawn vermicelli bowl hit the spot. Everything tasted great, flavours were on point. Just a solid feed.

Breakfast&#39;s always solid here. Staff are sharp, remembered my coffee order from last time. That&#39;s a nice touch.

The tasting menu is a great deal. The seats were comfortable and the staff were friendly, which made for a relaxing evening.

The staff were so lovely. They remembered our drink orders and checked in just the right amount. It felt genuinely warm, not just polite. That kind of attention is nice.

Been coming here for years, and the wine list is always spot on with the steaks. Their local Shiraz is a go-to for me.

Love the view here for a lazy breakfast. Coffee&#39;s always spot on. The staff are super friendly. My only note is that the wine list feels a bit limited for a place with this vibe.

Been back a few times, always for the food. What keeps me coming is how fresh everything tastes. The greens in the salad are always crisp, and the fish has that clean, just-caught quality. You can tell they care about their ingredients. The wait can be a little long, but it&#39;s worth it for that level of freshness.

The chicken biryani is the one. The rice had a really good flavour, not oily at all. The chicken pieces were tender. It&#39;s a generous portion, enough for two meals honestly. That&#39;s what I come for.

Ambience is great for  Sunday brunch. Pictures for kids to colour in to keep them occupied was great. Food was good and service was prompt and very friendly. I recommend the banana shake, it was really nice :)

A nice spot in Braddon for a late-night treat. The ice cream is really good, better than most around here. The shop is modern and clean, which I appreciate. I just wish the seating was a bit more comfortable for lingering.

First time here. The grilled octopus was spot on, tender with a nice char. The pasta was a bit too salty for my taste, but the wine list had some good local options.

The staff were really helpful with my lactose intolerance. They suggested a different bread for my sandwich without any fuss. Coffee was decent too.

The dim sum was lovely, and I really appreciated the comfortable seating. The staff were so nice, which made the whole lunch feel relaxed. The view of the lake was a nice bonus, and parking was easy.

Decent spot for a quick work lunch. The industrial decor with metal and wood is nice, gives it a relaxed vibe. Coffee was pretty good, though the service was a bit slow today.

Been coming here for years. The cinnamon scroll is always just right&mdash;soft, not too sweet. That&#39;s why I keep coming back.

The wasabi steak is actually pretty good. Tried it for the first time last Saturday. Place was packed, but the steak came out nice and hot. That hint of wasabi was a nice surprise, not too strong.

Had a nice Saturday lunch here. The place is really spacious and spotless, which I appreciate. The staff were efficient and courteous, made the whole thing feel easy.

The steak at this restaurant is simply to die for! The service was impeccable, making our anniversary dinner truly special. Highly recommend for a romantic night out.

The choley bhature is fabulous. We&#39;ve been ordering it for years. Highly recommended! An elegant venue with friendly service and affordable prices. Thank you :-)

The Himalayan Nourish Bowl for breakfast was a fresh start. Their house-made kombucha was a surprisingly good pairing with it.

Been coming here for years, and the pizza menu never disappoints. Always find something new to try, but the classics are just as good as I remember. It&#39;s that kind of reliable spot.

Popped in for a quick bite. Menu&#39;s got heaps of options, which is nice. Coffee was spot on. Place was packed, a bit noisy, but that&#39;s the vibe I guess. Solid for a casual brunch.

Been here a few times over the years. The set menu has a nice flow to it, one dish leading into the next. Makes for a relaxed evening. The room feels cosy, especially in winter. It&rsquo;s not cheap, but you know what you&rsquo;re paying for.
