I was a little miffed when I learned that Mr Lawrence was moving away from the London Hotel location but the new venue did not disappoint! The ambiance and food continue to be terrific.

Nice food in a relaxed environment. Upstairs is much better but seek a table instead of the bench tops with tall chairs like bar sools

Great service, and even better food! The flavours were authentic with a modern twist, including the desserts - Sensational! Will definitely be coming back regularly.

Great new fit out down the road and yummy food as always! Additions to the menu look good, even though we stuck with our usual falafels with fattouche and flat bread!

Service was quite slow considering it was a very quiet night with only 2 other tables in. My friend had a dairy intolerance, the waitress was good at sorting alternatives. We order 3 dishes, the sharing mezze, a grain salad and meatballs. The mezze was well over priced for the offering, $28 for a very small, dry and fairly tasteless plate of food. They also forgot the bread and dip which should of been part of the mezze and by the time this arrived we had finished everything else. Had the waitress of come and checked on us we would have told her but trying to get her attention was very difficult. The salad and meatballs were ok. Ceratinly not worth the expense. $100 for 3 small plates and 3 drinks. The only thing going for this place is the view. Sadly I will not return, shame considering I live very close by and was very much looking forward to it being a regular spot.

The food was delicious, the table very comfortable and the service was excellent, they gave us time to enjoy our conversation without interrupting and brought everything spot on. If anything it was a pity that some of the entrees only brought 3 items instead of 4, but we loved it overall.

The new location is great - more spacious and the views of the bay are better too. We ordered three dishes and the waiter/kitchen (we were not asked) assumed it was all to share; it wasn't all to share - just the salad. The food was enjoyable - especially the feta and water melon salad. Overall, it was a good experience and we will continue to dine there.

I am a regular at Mr Lawrence and always enjoy dining there. This was my first time at the new venue and it was light, fresh and comfortable. The service is friendly and not obtrusive. The menu was delicious as always. My girlfriends and I thoroughly enjoyed our night.

The new location for Mr Lawrence is great, with an amazingly large dining room with beautiful views over the bay. The food too is just as good as it's ever been however the service needs some attention. Staff were not observant when we needed attention, busy talking amongst themselves and not providing the right advice when we ordered. This lead us to order side dishes we didn't need when the mains we ordered already included very similar ingredients and lead us not to even touch these items. Better training for the staff on their menu knowledge, sales skills and on how to assist guests to order would improve the overall experience considerably.

Always love going to Mr Lawrence, their food is relaxed and friendly. My only feedback was the staff seemed less friendly than normal. Am sure this was just a blip as not experienced before and will be back.

As always the food was delicious and the staff very pleasant. I took a guest for her first time visit and she left after the meal stating the food and the facilities were delightful. I'm have no doubt she will be back - and I will continue to bring guests.

The staff are all different now that it's moved. The food isn't great and a lot of the stuff in the menu they don't have, the trout and certain beers. I was disappointed as there's only a few things I can eat and there was no offer of helping me, so I was stuck with a salad. Also the pizzas weren't cooked enough and the staff weren't very friendly. I was a mr Lawrence fan at the London but unfortunately I don't think I will be anymore.

Food was good. Service was slow and we felt a little like we were left constantly waiting to order. Not sure if it was because we were sat in the back room, but wasn't up to the usual standard we are use to at Mr Lawrence.

Mr Lawrence's food is fantastic, but tonight, being a Monday was supposed to be $10 pizzas. Three were charged at $10 and one at $19 something - which was a disappointing end to an otherwise great evening.

It is a casual restaurant but the venue, the location and the food was great. We ordered 4 dishes to share and everything we ordered was tasty.
