Loved the food, huge serves where most of us had to take some home, and great value for money. Wonderful service and atmosphere. Will definitely go again

Absolutely amazing food, all came out about the same time for all 22 of us. Great service, friendly staff. Would highly recommend to anyone and we will definitely be going back a lot as we live up the road ???? thank you  the lodge. We had the best time ????

The buttermilk chicken burger is solid, but it&#39;s the fries that got me. Always so crunchy, with that perfect salt and pepper kick. Just the right amount of seasoning. Service was quick, which was nice.

Love the build-your-own sandwich bar idea. Coffee&rsquo;s really good too. Great that they&rsquo;re dog-friendly, saw a few happy pups outside. Just wish the sandwich bread options were a bit fresher, felt a little dry. Still, a solid spot for a quick lunch.

The food was outstanding we had a party of 7 and it was a great night had by all the staff where excellent and made the night really enjoyable

Club sandwich with fries was huge! Could barely finish it, definitely got my money&#39;s worth. The fries were crispy too. Good portion for the price.

Been coming here for years, and the consistency is what keeps me coming back. The vegetarian options are always solid, and the prices on O&#39;Connell Street are still fair. It&#39;s just a reliable spot.

This restaurant ranks as my top favourite restaurant. The food is amazing quality and it&rsquo;s all so delicious! The lighting and the music creates the perfect atmosphere to have a nice relaxing enjoyable dinner. Would recommend a 100 times over.

The poke bowl was a real treat. Loved the mix of colours and textures, and the seasoning was spot on. It just felt like a really thoughtful dish.

The mezza selection here is a real find. I loved the smoky baba ghanoush and the grilled halloumi was spot on. It&#39;s the kind of thing you want to share with friends over a long lunch.

Authentic Japanese cuisine, very suitable for family or friend&rsquo;s gathering. Good quality food with reasonable price.

Dined in on 4 April around 7pm.  Excellent food and service. The young lady at the coffee/cake serving counter was exceptional .. nothing too much trouble and a lovely gentle way about her. She made our night and I&#39;m only sorry we didn&#39;t get her name.

Came here on a busy Saturday night. The place is huge, got a table outside easily. Portions are massive, honestly couldn&#39;t finish my main. Food arrived super fast, which was great.

Appetizer platter was a good call. Lamb mince and chicken were both spot on. Got my food fast, perfect for a quick lunch. 👍

Unfortunately there was a large children&#39;s party in the main dining area which was very noisy &amp; we had to sit in the outer service area. The food was as good as ever though.

I have been a few times to this restaurant and wanted to return with an interstate guest. View was sparkling, booth comfortable, food really tasty (I had crispy fish tacos) and everyone had a relaxed time on a Sunday afternoon. We unfortunately had to leave before the live music started but I will be back in summer for that!

First time at Junipers and was impressed. Friendly staff, service overall was good, but at times slow, our four tapas selections were delicious, and the serves were generous. Views of the sun setting over the ocean added to the experience.

Gluten-free options were solid, and the staff actually listened when I mentioned my allergy. Didn&#39;t have to explain myself twice, which is a nice change. Food was decent, nothing mind-blowing, but felt safe ordering.

This restaurant visit was a pleasant experience from the moment we approached the entry door where we were greeted by the host and shown to our table. Every element of the process was friendly and easy. The food was excellent and the drinks selection extensive. This was a memorable evening as we could not fault a think.

Breakfast here was unreal. The eggs benedict? Perfectly runny yolk, hollandaise just right. Haven&#39;t had one this good in ages. Staff were chill too.

Great variety for breakfast buffet. Chia seed pudding, congee, chipolata sausages, scrambled eggs, hash brown. Also available on order are herb omelette, eggs Florentine and poached eggs. I originally  wanted to try the herb omelette but I was already full from first plate. French press coffee or tea are included. I couldn&#39;t eat a lot but it was fantastic. Highly recommended.

Food was great, staff were excellent but the whole vibe of seeing in the new year was let down by the choice of music played by the DJ. Just ruined any party experience we were hoping for.

The buffet spread was impressive, especially the fresh pastries. They were still warm from the oven, which was a lovely touch. The coffee from the barista station was a nice upgrade too. Just a bit crowded around the hot food section.

Great well tasting food. Good prices and service. Good parking right in front of restaurant. We will certainly come back for more and explore the menu.

Been coming here for years, and the consistency keeps me coming back. Love that they&#39;ve kept a few solid vegan dishes on the menu the whole time. The beer garden is great in winter with the heaters, and just as good in summer. Only thing is, you gotta be okay with a relaxed pace.

The private room upstairs is nice for a small group. Menu&#39;s got a decent range of food and wine. Service was good, no complaints.

Grabbed a quick lunch at Arya. Their lamb curry was spot on - tender and full of flavour. Came out super fast, which is exactly what I needed. Perfect for a quick bite.

This little restaurant was a great find. It was very authentic Italian. The meals were delicious. The staff were very attentive. The selection of wines was excellent. Stefan was a pleasure to meet and gave us very good service. We will be going back.
