Staff were helpful and patient, took time to explain the menu. No pressure to order quickly. Good service.

The toffee pudding was the highlight for me. It&#39;s the kind of dessert you think about later. We did have to wait a bit for it, but that warm, sticky sweetness was worth the pause. Everything else was fine, but that pudding is the reason I&#39;d go back.

The Sunday roast was spot on, and the staff were so lovely. Will definitely be back for that!

The pork loin roast was a generous plate, with plenty of meat, potatoes, and veg. The space itself is lovely&mdash;high ceilings and those big, comfy booths make it easy to settle in for a while.

The Aloo Bara was lovely. Their lamb dishes are particularly good, they really know how to handle their spices. A solid spot for a decent meal.

Popped in for a quick bite after a walk. The fish tacos were made fresh to order, which you don&#39;t always get. Nice spot being so close to the beach too.

Lovely spot by the water. The light in the evening was just right, soft and golden. It felt calm. A bit pricey for the portion, but that view... it was nice.

Nice spot for a relaxed dinner. The staff were quick and friendly, which kept things moving. My main was cooked just right, and the whole vibe was spot on for a casual night out.

The jalape&ntilde;o margarita here is a must. It&rsquo;s got this perfect little kick that&rsquo;s not too spicy, just really refreshing. I ended up ordering a second one!

Lovely spot for a coffee and a pastry. The outdoor tables are a real plus, especially when you can catch a bit of sun.

I enjoyed a lovely meal in a peaceful setting with excellent service. The prices are reasonable, making it a great value for the quality of food and atmosphere.

Michelle was really on top of things, always checking if we needed more water or anything else. Made the whole meal run smoothly.

The &#39;Heart of Dracula&#39; dessert was the star for me. That homemade donut was perfectly soft, and the tangy sour cream with the fresh blueberries just worked. A really clever, tasty combo.

Found it easily on Google Maps, and street parking was a breeze. The space is really bright and clean, with plenty of room between tables. The table service was proper and attentive, which made for a relaxed lunch.

The waitress was so sweet, really attentive without being overbearing. She noticed I was asking about ingredients and brought over a little card with the sourcing details for the greens. That made me feel really looked after.

Booked a pre-theatre lunch. The food was good and came out quickly, which is what you need when you&#39;re heading to the Royal Hippodrome. No fuss, just a solid meal.

The location is perfect for a pre-theatre dinner. Just a short walk from the hotel. I appreciated the fresh, seasonal ingredients in the salad - the greens were crisp and the dressing light. A nice, simple option before the show.

Came for the Sunday roast, and the pork was the standout. Really generous portion, and the flavour was spot on. Just a shame the gravy was a bit on the thin side for my liking.

Family-run spot, loads of character. It was packed on a Friday, lively buzz but you do have to lean in to chat. The wine list had a nice local red that paired surprisingly well with the rich pasta. A solid neighbourhood choice.

Popped in for lunch with a friend. The ham, egg and chips was a solid, filling plate for the price. Staff were quick, which was great as we were catching up!

A bit tucked away from the main streets, but that&#39;s part of the charm. Found it by chance. The vibe is quiet, perfect for a slow lunch. Had the fish and chips&mdash;crispy batter, fresh fish. Just what I needed.

Stumbled upon this place and loved the vibe. It&rsquo;s cozy but not cramped, with nice warm lighting. The green curry was authentic and tasty. Service was good too. A solid spot for Thai food.

The bottomless brunch was fine for our group of 14. The server did a good job keeping the drinks flowing, which isn&#39;t always easy with a big table. The food was decent.

Heard good things, and they were right. Staff were friendly, service was quick. Got the chicken wrap - fresh and tasty. Perfect for a quick bite on a busy day.

Ordered the pad thai again, my usual. As a cook myself, I appreciate how fresh it always is. The portion is generous for the price, I usually get two meals out of it.
