You can't expect much for a 24 hour restaurant run by teenagers, but I've had a couple of meals here and found them to be tasteless. Service is slow and orders and frequently mixed up or completely lost.
I enjoyed the different style of food at Gianni's. You can order pizza if you're scared (it's pretty good), or try something different. I had Burek, a dough pouch filled with meat and cheese. The serving sizes are generous (we should have ordered 1 meal between 2 people). Unfortunately, since this restaurant is family run, it has the family feel, but the staff working that day didn't seem to want to impress anyone (if you work for your parents, you probably won't lose your job for inattentive service). We had to ask twice for drinks, took ages to be served and I had to find the owner, who was sitting outside, when I wanted to pay. I like the atmosphere and food and I would visit again, I just feel the service needs a lift.
I went here for dinner and was happy with the service, outside dining location, and the food I received. I ordered the tortellini in cream sauce, which was delicious. One of the people with me ordered Barramundi, but upon inspection it seemed to be a different fish, which was disappointing as it made us feel the staff had not been upfront.
I'm not a huge kebab fan but the kebabs here are good. It's a no-fuss sort of place - wait in line (very popular with the locals), eat it at home or down by the river. There are lots of choices and you can buy individual salads in takeaway containers here too. Everything is fresh and made in front of you, just the way kebabs should be.
I've been here for coffee a number of times. It's a cute little place run by a really nice family. The service is always top notch and the coffees and cakes are good. I've seen meals coming out to other tables and they look well portioned for the price.
Wong Hawker serves Malaysian & Singaporean food. My preference is to get takeaway from here, as the restaurant itself is not well decorated and has no ambience. The laksa is my favourite dish here, and it is done well. Prices are very good too, I'd highly recommend it if you like Malaysian food.
Approximate cost: $10
We went here for coffee after dining closeby. The service was good, the coffee average, the desserts excellent (especially the chocolate pudding), but the prices were all too expensive for the quality and quantity of food on offer. The decor was something my grandmother would love, which isn't bad, just not to my taste (I felt like I was dining in a country town).
I went here for dinner and had the garlic prawns, which were some of the best I have ever had. Dining outside in summer is nice. Drinks are a tiny bit overpriced, but the service and quality of food makes up for this.
I've been here for breakfast and dinner. Breakfast was as expected, nothing wrong with the food but nothing particularly special either. Dinner was great, all ingredients were fresh and the service was attentive and helpful. I especially love the ambience here - there are plants all around one wall and a waterwall (as you can guess by the name) water feature which creates a relaxing background to a romantic evening.
I've been here for coffee & cake on a number of occasions, as well as for dinner three times. I really like the decor and atmosphere, and the staff are very polite and helpful. I was impressed with the quality of the food - cakes are well priced and large portions are served, the entree platter was interesting, tasty and changes every day, and everything on the seafood platter was well cooked and fresh.
