Service was efficient and the staff were polite. The place runs smoothly, which is what I look for during a business lunch. No fuss, just got the job done.

Popped in for a quick lunch. The bacon, brie &amp; chutney panini was spot on. They have a decent house red that paired really well with it, which was a nice touch. Prices are fair. Just a solid, no-fuss spot for a bite.

The deck&#39;s river view is nice, but the food is what sticks with you. Had the grilled salmon a couple times over a few days. It&#39;s cooked just right, skin crisp, flesh still moist. Simple, but they get it right.

Lovely spot for a break in the restored palace. I really appreciated the freshness of the ingredients in their cakes. The carrot cake had such a moist, natural texture. A nice, light option.

The pizza&#39;s definitely fresh and tasty, a solid choice for a quick bite. The space itself is a bit tight though, tables are quite close together.

The beef in black pepper sauce was lovely and tender. The booths are really comfortable for a relaxed meal.

Food was good, no complaints there. But the service was a bit hit or miss. Waited a while for our order, and they brought the wrong starter. Could be smoother.

The coffee and cakes are decent, but I was a bit surprised by the price for the portion size. The space does feel brighter after the refurb, which is nice. Just wish the snacks offered a bit more for what you pay.

Solid, hearty food. The view over the open field is nice. Good selection of bread and pies to take away. Decent value.

The poppadoms are the best I&#39;ve had. They&#39;re light, perfectly crisp, and the mango chutney that comes with them has a great balance of sweet and tangy. The rest of the food was solid, but those poppadoms are the reason I&#39;d go back.

The portions here are huge, especially the cakes. We always end up with a slice to take home! Really good for sharing with friends when you want to try a bit of everything.

Comfy spot for a quick coffee and cake. I had the pancakes with streaky bacon and a fried egg - they were just right for a relaxed brunch. The staff were really friendly, which made the whole thing very easy.

Lovely spot for a quiet coffee. The outside seating is perfect when it&#39;s sunny, and they&#39;re so welcoming to dogs. Staff are friendly without being overbearing. Just a really warm, relaxed vibe.

The team was so nice about my app order running a bit late. They even threw in a little extra dip for the wait, which was a sweet touch. No stress at all.

The staff here are always so friendly and helpful. They remember our names and what the kids like to order. The play area keeps the little ones busy for ages, which is a lifesaver for us parents.

Our go-to spot for catching up with friends. The food is always solid, and the drinks are spot on. Service is friendly and quick, so we never feel rushed. Just a really reliable place for a group.

The salt and pepper squid was the star for me - perfectly crispy and not greasy at all.

Always a warm welcome here. The kebabs are spot on, and they arrive piping hot at the table. Just what you need.

The pizzas are the real deal here. I tried the Margherita and the crust had that perfect chewy-yet-crisp texture you don&#39;t find everywhere. The place was buzzing, which I liked. Good spot for a casual slice.

Decent Chinese buffet. They cook in small batches, so the food stays hot and fresh. Good variety. Solid value for money, nothing fancy but does the job.

The portion sizes here are huge, you definitely get your money&#39;s worth. Food came out fast, which was nice. The quality is solid for the price you pay.

Came in for lunch, the place is spotless and really spacious. Felt relaxed right away, like a proper restaurant but also kind of homely. Just what I needed mid-week.

The drive-thru was handy, but I ended up eating inside. The place is pretty basic, just a few tables. It did the job for a quick bite, nothing fancy.

Went to their evening event. The complimentary sharing starter was a highlight for me &ndash; you could really taste the freshness of the ingredients. Everything was plated so nicely. A pleasant, relaxed vibe.

The char siew chow mein here was a real surprise. Noodles had a great texture, not soggy at all, and the pork was nicely caramelised. The king prawn fried rice was solid too. Honestly went in with low expectations, but they&#39;ve got the basics right.

The small fish and chips with peas was a fair price. Decent portion for what you pay. I was pretty full afterwards, so it felt like good value.

The fish and chips were spot on, but honestly, the best part was the big, shared table. Perfect for a casual catch-up with a group. We ended up ordering a pizza too, which was a nice surprise on the menu.
