Absolute favourite restaurant for authentic Japanese food. Food is full of flavour, and ambience is phenomenal. Love the variety of food and drinks! Very extensive menu! Only issue is parking sadly, but that is out of the venues control.

Our first time dining at Maru Hi-Fi last night and we were extremely impressed by this fantastic restaurant, from the warm welcome, immediate seating, attentive service (without being obtrusive) prompt delivery of food and beverages, absolutely delicious dishes, fabulous music selection and ambience, just a perfect evening all round, a special mention to Henry, a true ambassador for the restaurant, personable, attentive, professional in every aspect of his position, can not speak highly enough of our experience, we shall definitely be back and have already recommended to friends!

The team at Eddie’s were friendly, personable & easy to deal with. The food was excellent & service very efficient. Thankyou to the team for making my mother in laws birthday a special occasion that she enjoyed a lot. Looking forward to coming back when the restaurant opens at night to check out the atmosphere & menu.

Have frequented Foghorns since it opened. It has always been a consistent experience, offering a good range of food and beverages. Great if you enjoy a relaxed vibe while having some beers and nibbles with friends and family. Often has a variety of musical performances that don't overpower the atmosphere.

A friend recommended Urban Restaurant & Wine Bar and we decided to try it for a birthday celebration. The welcome and atmosphere is relaxed, service attentive and food, locally sourced and excellent. We enjoyed a lovely evening which was hard to fault. Think we’ve found a gem!

Unique experience, beautifully presented on plate. Good for casual dining or Am, Pm. We were not hurried to leave so we could enjoy the experience. Convenient to have a bakery & bottle shop near by. Parking was not to difficult.

I like the Pork Mulita - always good, or the fish tacos love them too. We were a large group, the service was fast and friendly, we always know we can get in and out within the hour. On this occasion, one of the meals (vegitarian and one of the first orders put through) was later to arrive than the others arriving when most of us had finished eating. Other than that - it's always a good experience here.
