First time here, and the original pho really hit the spot. The broth was steaming hot and had such a deep, rich flavour. It felt like a proper, comforting bowl. The place itself was spotless and had a nice, relaxed vibe.

Stopped by for lunch and ordered the lasagne. The pasta tasted so fresh, you could tell it was made in-house. The sauce had a lovely depth of flavour without being too heavy. A really nice, balanced meal.

Been coming here for years, and the roast is always spot on. Hot, cooked just right.

Grabbed a takeaway. Food arrived piping hot, fresh out of the kitchen. Just what you want on a cold night. The prawn curry was spot on.

Carly really made our birthday surprise before the flight. The table was decorated with banners and they brought out a little cake. It was a lovely personal touch that turned a long wait into something nice.

The live band was the highlight! Really set a great vibe, we ended up dancing a bit by our table. The music choice was spot on, not too loud for conversation either.

Nice walk along the coast to get here. The permanent line for Twobytwo&#39;s unfined beers is a real draw. Food&#39;s always spot on.

A really nice, quiet spot. The owner does it all, cooking and serving, always smiling. Had the avocado toast, simple but fresh. Good for a chill coffee break.

Liked the choice of seating areas, some spots are much quieter than others. Service was quick on a weekday afternoon.

The show was fantastic, the performers were so talented and full of energy. The atmosphere was electric, we were completely engaged the whole time.

The lunch menu has a good selection. My pizza was tasty, the crust had a nice chew to it. Service was quick and friendly, even though the place was busy.

Cosy spot, and the staff are genuinely attentive. You can tell they care about the details, which made the evening feel relaxed. Service was spot-on without being overbearing.

The view from the terrace is just lovely, right on the water. They even had a water bowl out for dogs, which was a thoughtful touch. A very peaceful spot for a quiet drink.

The Taiwanese beef broth ramen was really flavourful. The space is nice, feels a bit like a modern canteen with those long shared tables. Good for a quick, casual meal.

The smashed burger was spot on, really juicy with that crispy edge. I went with a local IPA on tap, and the hoppy bitterness cut through the richness nicely. Chips were solid. Quick service for a lunch stop.

The manager sorted out the order mix-up so quickly! Really appreciated how they handled it.

A lovely spot for plant-based meals. I really appreciated how fresh the ingredients were in my salad and the seasonal veggie bowl. The flavours felt clean and well-balanced. Service was friendly and attentive.

Been coming here for their bottomless brunch for a while now. What keeps me coming back is the service on the drinks &ndash; they&#39;re just always on top of it, your glass never gets empty. That&#39;s the main thing for me. The food&#39;s always been solid, too.
